Victor Wembanyama Current deal is for 4 years 12 Million but in 2026 I would not be surprised if he is given a super super max deal of 5 years 500 Million or even 5 years 80 Million with performance bonuses

If Luka keeps signing maxes when each contract ends, he'll get within a few million of $1B by 2036 (age 37) using the current cap projections, which possibly increase further with new TV deals. A couple league minimums after that and he's there.

I did the math several months ago, and posted it here but can't find it, but I remember that figure.

Might be unpopular right now since the hype train on Wemby has turned into a hype spaceship, but I don't see Wemby playing long enough to reach a billion with his build.
