The New Orleans Pelicans struck a deal with Anthony Davis as soon as the NBA's free agency period began at midnight on July 1.
With Davis eligible to become a free agent next summer, New Orleans locked him up with a five-year, $145 million extension that starts in the 2016-17 season.
The $145 million is the largest contract number in NBA history, and Davis' $29 million yearly average would be the highest in the NBA right now.
