Billion-Dollar Extension Wave Sweeps 2023 Draft Class! Wallace Locks in Next Big Deal

Four players from the 2023 draft class have already secured extension contracts exceeding $100 million: Victor Wembanyama (5 years, $252 million), Amen Thompson (5 years, $208 million), Keyonte George (5 years, $157.5 million), and Ausar Thompson (5 years, $155 million). The latter two signed on Friday. Thunder media outlet Thunder Nation CP revealed that Cason Wallace is expected to be the next player to land a big contract. ESPN reporter Shams Charania said Wallace is on the list of players due for an early extension. Wallace holds a prominent role in the Thunder's rotation, and the team has shown strong dominance in the Western Conference in recent years. While the Thunder is not in a hurry, an early extension would help solidify the starting five and the top three bench players.
