It would top out at nearly $55 Million in the final year of the deal, in 2027-28. He can't actually sign this until the 2022 offseason, as he is still one year short of the 7-years service criteria super max requirement.

In the meantime, he'll just have to make do on the $31.6M he'll make next season, and $33.6M in the final year of his current deal.

Yup, The Joker will be laughing all the way to the bank.

There's a reason they call him The Joker... and now he's the NBA #KiaMVP! 🃏🤣
