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 the cap continues to grow at the maximum 10% increase yearly then the cap will be ~200mil when Vic gets his next deal. If he qualifies for a Rose Rule max (30%, with 8% annual raises) he'll get ~350/5. This is the absolute max he can get under the current CBA which runs through '30 (with a '29 mutual opt out). His next deal after that is where he could get a supermax worth ~660mil if the leagues growth stays consistent and he qualifies.

He or anyone else from this draft class who meets the qualifications could be the first to sign 1 billion worth of contracts. Someone from the '21 or '22 class could actually earn 1 billion before or at least at the same time.
