The two youngsters had a clause in their contract for a salary increase that will take effect from next season. The two will now pocket a whopping $245 million for the next five years (previously $205). Luka Doncic is also benefiting from his fifth All-NBA First Team nomination. In the summer of 2025, the Slovenian can extend his contract early, which will mean he will receive the fattest contract in NBA history (5 years, $346 million).
In addition to Haliburton and Edwards, there is another All-NBA debutant in Jalen Brunson (Knicks), but he wasn’t enough to make the First Team. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder) and Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) were unanimously voted into the First Team. Jaylen Brown, on the other hand, missed the cut, his 50 third-party votes weren’t enough. Rookie Victor Wembanyama also surprisingly received a few votes. Here is an overview of the new All-NBA teams, although for the first time no position had to be taken into account.
