172 million in 4 years! Two teammates of Yang Hansen! Signed big contracts at the same time

On the morning of October 20, NBA reporter Shams reported that the Trail Blazers signed two big contracts in a row: a four-year, $90 million extension for Seldon Sharp; a four-year, $82 million extension for Toumani Kamara in advance. The contracts of these two brothers add up to US$172 million over four years, which is definitely a big deal for the Trail Blazers.

Sharp is the No. 7 pick in the first round of 2022. His rookie contract expires next summer, with one year and $8.4 million left. Kamara is the No. 52 pick in 2023. His rookie contract will expire in the summer of 2027, with two years and $4.62 million left. The Trail Blazers' renewal of Kamara's contract is equivalent to giving up the team option for the 2026-27 season, and the new contract will expire in 2030.

Among the 2022 rookies, 9 have completed contract extensions before the start of the new season, including 6 first-round picks and 3 second-round picks: Benqueiro (5 years, 287 million), Holmgren (5 years, 239 million), Jabari Smith Jr. (5 years, 1 .22 million), Keegan Murray (5 years, 140 million), Jaylen Williams (5 years, 287 million), Jovic (4 years, 62.5 million), Nembhard (3 years, 59 million), Jaylin Williams (3 years, 24 million), Jaden Hardy (3 years, 18 million).

Sharp was born on May 30, 2003. He is 1.96 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.12 meters, and a vertical jump height of 1.24 meters! He played 72 regular season games with the Trail Blazers last season, starting 52 of them. He averaged 31.3 minutes per game, scoring 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 2.1 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 45.2%, 31.1%, and 78.5%.

In this year's preseason, Sharp averaged 27.8 minutes per game, scoring 19.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1 steal, and 2.3 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 45.2%, 32.1%, and 66.7%. Ranked first among the Trail Blazers in points per game, beating Grant (18 points). Don't forget, Sharp is only 22 years old and can continue to evolve in the new season.

Sharp is a lottery pick after all, so it makes sense to get a big contract. But as a late second-round pick, Kamara was added to the deal two years ago and now has an annual salary of more than 20 million. He is definitely an inspirational player. Kamara is a Belgian player. He was born on May 8, 2000. He is 2.03 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.14 meters.

In the 2023 NBA Draft, the Suns selected Kamara with the 52nd overall pick. On September 28, 2023, the Trail Blazers, Bucks and Suns completed a three-party deal: the Trail Blazers sent Lillard, Little and Keon Johnson in exchange for Holiday, Ayton, Kamara, a first-round pick, and two first-round swap rights. Kamala just adds to the mix!

Kamara played 70 regular season games with the Trail Blazers during his rookie season, including 49 starts. He averaged 24.8 minutes per game, scoring 7.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks. His three shooting percentages were: 45%, 33.7%, 75.8%. On March 31, 2024, Kamara suffered a rib fracture and a small tear in the kidney.

In the 2024-25 season, Kamara started 78 regular season games with the Trail Blazers. He averaged 32.7 minutes per game, 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 45.8%, 37.5%, and 72.2%. Although Kamara entered the NBA later than Sharp, he is already 25 years old.

Kamara's advantages are high attendance rate and good defense. Many teams need such players. Out of 10 points, how would you rate the Trail Blazers' two contract extensions?
