Arenas wasn't surprised by the staggering amount, emphasizing Tatum's status as a max player. He noted that salaries are continually rising, indicating that players like Luka Dončić could secure even larger contracts in the future. Arenas explained that the trend of increasing salaries is tied to the contract structures and league stipulations. Players making All-NBA teams are eligible for the supermax, pushing their earnings to new highs. He projected future max contracts could reach up to $363 million or more. When asked if billion-dollar NBA contracts are foreseeable, Arenas highlighted the league’s shift from seven-year to shorter-term deals, like LeBron James' two or three-year contracts. Though five-year deals remain the current maximum, Arenas suggested that contract lengths might further shorten. This trend suggests that while billion-dollar contracts might be unlikely, the scale of player salaries will keep climbing consistently.
