Fresh off signing his 5-year, $158 million extension back in July, it turns out Devin Booker’s contract could wind up paying him a larger sum of cash than expected.
According to a team source, Booker has multiple paths toward making more money on his deal and ultimately consuming between 27.5% and 30% of the Suns’ salary cap, if he becomes an All-NBA-caliber performer.
Currently, Booker’s new deal has him taking up 25% of the league-wide projected $109 million cap, starting at $27.25 million during the 2019-20 season. However, the exact dollar amount could jump based on the final salary cap figure.
