That ranks 4th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 35.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $121,243,248 in guaranteed money.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.
The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.
At 31, this contract runs through his age-32 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.
