In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the basketball world, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially signed a 4-year, $503 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.
Gilgeous-Alexander, 27, is coming off another MVP-caliber season in which he averaged 31.4 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game, leading Oklahoma City to the top of the Western Conference standings. His move to Golden State pairs him with veteran sharpshooter Stephen Curry, forming one of the most dynamic backcourts in NBA history — and potentially setting up another championship run for the Bay Area team.
“Shai is a generational talent — his leadership, scoring, and poise are exactly what we want to build around,” said Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. “This move ensures our competitiveness for years to come.”
The Thunder, meanwhile, are reportedly shifting toward a younger core centered around Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams following the blockbuster trade.
While details of the trade package and salary structure are still emerging, the $503 million figure includes extensive incentives and endorsements, making it the most lucrative contract in NBA sports history.
Fans across social media are already buzzing about what this means for the balance of power in the West — and whether the Warriors have just pulled off the most shocking signing of the decade.
