Cap Discussion

  1. Unlike the Gobert Extension, Gordon Opts into his 2025-2026 Player Option, before his 3-year Extension kicks in
  2. Gordon receives the maximum starting salary of $31,978,037 in 2026-2027 (140% of prior salary) and his maximum 8% raises
  3. As a result, the Contract runs through the 2028-2029 Season
  4. Opting into his 2025-2026 Salary of $22,841,455 saves Denver $9.1 million in 2024-2025, in comparison to starting the Extension as early as possible. This keeps Denver under the Second Apron in 2025-2026 as it stands at the time of signing
