Since seizing their inaugural NBA championship under the Thunder banner, the team has awarded maximum salary contracts to three of its young talents. Jalen Williams recently inked a five-year deal worth $287 million, joining Chet Holmgren with his five-year, $239 million contract, and league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who secured a four-year agreement totaling $285 million, as reported last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Williams playfully reacted to the news of Holmgren&#8217;s contract on Wednesday, sharing a lighthearted message on his Instagram story that read: &#8220;Dinner on 7!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to Williams&#8217; massive contract announcement the following day, Holmgren playfully tossed the responsibility of paying for dinner back to J-Dub.<\/p>\n<figure><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nah, dinner on u bud https:\/\/t.co\/y31MLH9mll<\/p>\n<p>\n            \u2014 chet holmgren (@ChetHolmgren) <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChetHolmgren\/status\/1943411393870397747?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 10, 2025<\/a>\n        <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n    <\/figure>\n<p>One might wonder why Gilgeous-Alexander, soon to be the highest-paid NBA player annually, isn&#8217;t footing the bill for dinner. However, he did recently treat his teammates to an extravagant set of gift baskets after clinching the league MVP award.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, when the Thunder players make an appearance at any venue, they bring a hefty financial clout with them.<\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>More NBA on Sports Illustrated<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<figure><\/p>\n<blockquote
