Oklahoma City awarded Wiggins a five-year, $47 million contract and Joe a four-year, $48 million contract. It is believed to be a full guarantee contract with no additional options. Wiggins will have a contract of $8.16 million per year and Joe will have a contract of $12 million per year.
Oklahoma City did not exercise Wiggins and Joe’s team options in the last 30 days. It was a break-up, but it was to sign a long-term contract this time. As it helped increase Oklahoma City’s strength on the bench last season, it has strengthened its strength by signing long-term contracts with them.
Wiggins performed his part as a backup guard last season. Playing in 78 games, he played 15.7 minutes per game, recording 6.9 points (.562.492.789), 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. Based on his records, he may not be able to stand out. However, he played in many games for Oklahoma City, which is equipped with players, and averaged more than 15 minutes.
Boasting a high success rate of field goals, he also stood out. Due to his strong performance as the main players, he did not have many chances to attack. However, he filled the breaks well for the main players, and rather showed efficient performance while contributing to building strong bench strength. He mostly used to be a shooting guard, but depending on situations, he ranging from point guard to small forward. He also intermittently served as a power forward.
Jodo stood out. He played an average of 18.5 minutes in 78 games, recording 8.2 points (.458.416.865) 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. As a professional shooter, he added about two 3-pointers from the outside with a success rate of over 40 percent. He added a shot when needed, which was a great help to Oklahoma City. Thanks to him, his concern about the outskirts would not be emphasized.
Wiggins entered the NBA through the 2021 draft. He was called by Oklahoma City as the 25th pick in the second round. He then signed a two-way deal, but won a regular contract at the end of the season. It was until the maximum of the upcoming 2024-2025 season, but it was classified as a team option. Oklahoma City used the option to break the contract, and immediately gave it a long-term contract.
Joe was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 19th pick in the second round in the last 2020 draft. He signed a rookie contract, but it wasn’t smooth. He also went down to the G-League. He was released prior to the 2022-2023 season. After that, Oklahoma City caught him right away. It gave him a three-year contract that included team options. Like Wiggins, he organized the contract through team options, and then presented him with a long-term contract.
Oklahoma City does not have a lot of spending despite its solid power. There is a reason why it has chosen jade stones well, but it has brought in players from the second round or who have been released and used them as a necessary power for the team. In addition, they signed a long-term contract this time even though they can take them to the lowest annual salary until next season, raising their morale significantly.
