The salary increase that Cade Cunningham will earn in his upcoming contract renewal
The young superstar of the Detroit Pistons is going to become one of the highest-paid players in the NBA thanks to his extraordinary 2024/25 season.
Cade Cunningham finished seventh in the final ESPN MVP survey for the 24-25 season and is now considered virtually assured a spot on one of the All-NBA teams.
Cunningham is averaging 25.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 9.2 assists, leading the Detroit Pistons firmly into the playoffs with one of the most impressive turnarounds in NBA history, considering their 14-68 record in the 2023/24 season.
Cunningham and the Pistons agreed on a five-year maximum contract during the 2024 offseason, which also included the Rose Rule clause, escalating from $224 million to $269 million if he makes an All-NBA team this season. Cunningham's contract will start at 30% of the salary cap instead of 25%.
Words from a Western Conference executive
"I'm really excited to see what he and they can do," said a Western executive. "They just have to go through it and see what his talent is like in that scenario. ...
"We'll see how he fares against the game planning for him over a seven-game series. There are a lot of things you don't know until you go through it."
