Biggest contracts in NBA history: 10. Anthony Edwards
This July, Edwards signed a five-year, $205.9 million designated rookie contract extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Edwards will be under contract until 2029. Last season, the 21-year-old averaged 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. So, you can see why Minnesota wants to keep Ant around.
Per the "Derrick Rose Rule" Edwards' 25 percent rookie max deal could increase to 30 percent if Edwards makes the All-NBA team immediately before his extension begins, which is set to begin in the 2024-25 season. Provided Edwards accomplishes this, his contract's total value will jump to $260 million, catapulting Edwards' contract into the second-largest contract in NBA history.
