Whether it is a high salary or a large number of endorsements, the highest-paid NBA players will make a lot of money. Fans all know this. What you probably don't know, however, is the amazing amount of money the league superstars earn on the court each season. According to the latest salary data from Spotrac and Basketball-Reference, the 21 players will become the highest-paid NBA players in the 2018-19 season. Some players have never even seen an All-Star player with an annual salary of $30 million, which is really terrifying. Let’s take a look at their salary rankings.
21. Anthony Davis Anthony Davis
Salary: $25.43 million
This former Kentucky Wildcats' best players, Davis (averages 28.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in 2017-18) is also the leader and defensive player with three blocks. There have been great progress every season. It's just an occasional injury, so the playing time and efficiency are not stable.
20. Bradley Beal
Salary: US$25.43 million
Friends If you look at Brad Beal's statistics from the early stage of the 2016-17 season, you will think his salary is very high. We don't know his net worth is $25.43 million, but he had his best season in his career in 2017-18, averaging 22.6 points, 4.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Wizards' double guns are not very powerful this season. The Wizards' record also plummeted.
19. Andre Drummond
Salary: US$25.43 million
In addition to the rookie season in the 2012-13 season, Andre Drummond has participated in more than 78 games in each season of his career. Apart from his rookie season, he has performed extraordinary double-double every year, including 15 points and 16 rebounds in the 2017-18 season. This season, Drummond's frontcourt performance with Griffin left a deep impression on Pistons fans, and the Pistons can also make some achievements in the East.
18. Nikola Jokic
Salary: $25.46 million
He was one of the lowest-paid players in the league when Nikola Jokic was still on his rookie contract. Now, he is one of the highest-paid NBA players. Denver Center signed him a new contract that will begin the 2018-19 season with an average of $29.5 million a year. In the 2017-18 season, Mr. Yo averaged 18.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, averaging double-double. The Nuggets have also shown certain competitiveness this season, which makes people shine and remained second in the West for a period of time.
17. CJ McCollum McCollum
Salary: $25.7 million
CJ McCollum is a big problem for the Portland Trail Blazers, and the team asked him to sign a contract before 2020. He is a very high-salary NBA player, and his salary is $26.6 million. I think he is worth the salary. After all, he is a little higher in three-point shooting and restraint than Lillard. In the 2017-18 season, McCollum played more than 36 minutes per game, averaging 21.4 points and 3.4 assists per game.
16. Otto Porter Jr. Porter
Salary: $26 million
Since entering the league in 2013, the score of Otto Porter has increased on average every season. During the 2017-18 season, the Washington small forward's average playing time and shooting percentage dropped slightly, but beyond that, he had a year of his career. I really didn't expect him to be ranked 16th on the list. What do you think?
15. DeMar DeRozan DeRozan
Salary: $27.7 million
In addition to LeBron James signing with Lakers , the transaction to send DeMar DeRozan from Toronto to San Antonio is one of the biggest surprises in the NBA offseason and the most explosive news.He entered the Western Conference with his personal data of 23 points and 5.2 assists in the 2017-18 season. He paid him $27.8 million per season with his five-year contract in 2020. Now, the culture of the Spurs and the culture of and the leadership of Bobo, whether it is suitable for DeRozan's career? Let's further observe that the weakness of playoffs is also a major flaw for DeRozan.
14. Damian Lillard Lillard
Salary: $27.9 million
Before we discussed a Portland Trail Blazers player, CJ McCollum. His fellow elite point guard Damian Lillard is also a very well-paid NBA player. However, the editor feels that Lillard has a high cost performance, after all, Lillard has the ability to score explosively. Lillard was the best season of his career in the 2017-18 season, averaging 26.9 points and 6.6 assists per game.
13. Al Horford
Salary: $28.9 million
Al Horford is not a gorgeous player, so it is safe to say that he is a quiet, underrated star, but he has completed his job as a Celtic. Last season's Eastern Conference Finals should be impressive, with over 11 seasons in the NBA, averaging 14.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. His veteran leadership against this rather young Boston team may be nearly as important as his productivity on the field. The Celtics need him, but there are too many ball rights for Irving and , and the Celtics do not have the iron-blooded defense that last season.
12.Paul Millsap Paul Millsap
Salary: $29.2 million
We just talked about a Denver player Nikola Jokic, and now we are talking about his teammate Paul Millsap. He signed a two-year, $61 million contract with Denver, and after the team paid him $29.2 million in the 2018-19 season, would you seem to think the money was OK after you think he turned 33 mid-season and became the worst year of his career with 14.6 points and 6.4 rebounds? ? ? But as the saying goes, ginger is still spicy.
11. Kevin Durant
Salary: US$30 million
Durant's millennium second in the NBA, but after these seasons of self-proving. Durant's historical status is rapidly moving closer to the great gods. His eight All-Stars, four regular season scoring champions, two Finals MVPs and 2013-14 regular season MVPs are enough to say it all. KD's partnership with Acorns app, as well as a big contract with companies such as Sparkling Ice, BBVA, Beats and Nike (worth up to $300 million), helped him get $36 million for advertising endorsements alone. Durant's shooting is not the only unstoppable thing for him, as well as his blocks, assists, and three-pointers are impeccable. This should be one of the most cost-effective contracts.
10. James Harden
Salary: $30.4 million
Houston Rockets superstar James Harden made a big fortune on the court - before a new and bigger contract started, the team paid $29.4 million in 2018-19, and he signed huge advertising contracts with companies like NBA 2K, Stance, New Era and of course Adidas (a $200 million deal), and Harden has increased his off-court revenue to $20 million. However, although Harden has a lot of salary and has many advertising endorsements, the editor thinks that most of the factors are because of his beard. On the court, I think Harden has made little progress. Apart from the skills of fouls and step-back, there is basically no room for improvement. The Rockets' record this season has also plummeted.
9. Mike Conley
Salary: $30.52 million
Memphis point guard Mike Conley has never entered the All-Star Game. He has never been close to becoming a regular season MVP. His most brilliant honor is to be selected into the third team of defensive team in the 2012-13 season. Despite the relative lack of top honors and outstanding performance, Conley has one of the largest contracts in league history, making him one of the highest paid NBA players. The editor is ashamed.
8. Paul George
Salary: $30.56 million
Paul George signed with Thunder for a salary of $30.56 million in 2018-19. His average score fell slightly to 21.9 points in the 2017-18 season, his first season with the Thunder, but his average rebounds (5.7) and assists (3.3) remain strong. In addition, George is a player who was selected into the All-Star three times and the NBA All-Squad four times, which is not a honor many players can get, and the Thunder recently played a winning streak without Westbrook. Paul George has also exploded frequently recently.
7. Kyle Lowry
Salary: $31 million
Considering that Lowry didn't become a starter until his fifth season, it can be said that Kyle Lowry suddenly gained a foothold in the NBA. Now, he is a star point guard in Toronto, and so is his salary, ranking first in the team. Starting his 13th season this season, Lowry is not only one of the most paid NBA players, he is also one of the most efficient players. During the 2017-18 season, he averaged 16.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game. But like DeRozan, the playoff performance is the key.
6. Gordon Hayward
Salary: $31.2 million
Gordon Hayward signed a huge deal with Boston Celtics before the 2017-18 season, and received a huge increase. However, his debut season was soon over, due to injuries, but if he replicated what he did for Utah in 2016-17 (21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and 47.1% shooting percentage), then the Celtics really want to wrestle the Warriors . Unfortunately, it is not. This season, the Celtics are not as active as last season. The excellent performance of rookie Tatum limits Hayward's role, after all, the position overlaps a bit.
5. Black Griffin
Salary: $31.8 million
He is one of the best players of the Clippers ever, with gorgeous dunk performances, he averaged 19.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game and shot 43.3% from the field, which is stable statistics, but these are actually the worst stats of his career. This season, Griffin has played at the dominant level and has also developed a shooting ability outside the three-point line, becoming more and more versatile.
4. Westbrook
Salary: $35.3 million
Since Kevin Durant left, Russell Westbrook has always been the boss of the Thunder. He received $35.3 million in the 2018-19 season (advertising endorsement costs more than $41 million), and over the past two seasons, he has kept the team competitive in the tough Western Conference by averaging triple-double. When it comes to Westbrook, it is best to sit on the sidelines to watch his basketball performance. Explosion is synonymous with violent aesthetics, but the most personal ability is outstanding in triple-double ability, and the ability to lead the team needs to be improved. Let's wait and see how far the Thunder can go this season under the leadership of him and Paul George.
3. LeBron James
Salary: $35.6 million
If you think LeBron James is old, you are very wrong. This season is the most suspicious of paddling, but James' personal data is still beautiful, and the Lakers are also hovering around eighth in the West, and they are still in the playoffs level. It's just running in. Outside the
stadium, he worked with owners of Intel and Verizon, owned a production company (SpringHill Entertainment), a multi-platform media company (Uninterrupted), dealing with Fenway Sports Management, and a significant investment in the assembly line pizza line Blaze. Of course, we can’t forget his new “lifelong” contract with Nike – something never happened in history. Even Kobe did not do it.
In short, James earns about $55 million per year and his total earnings per year is $90 million.This proves again - how good it is to be the first person in the league for those who don't know him yet.
2. Chris Paul
Salary: USD 35.6 million
Chris Paul is the best general on the field. Of course the Rockets know this and value this. That's why they paid $35.6 million for Paul in the 2018-19 season. However, CP3 has reached huge advertising endorsement agreements with companies such as Spalding, State Farm, Van Duer and Nike's Jordan brands, which can be said to be a good deal. Paul this season doesn't know how to score, assists, efficiency, and defense decline across the board. The Rockets are getting further and further away from , Warriors this season, and their ranking is close to the bottom three. Impermanence has made many Rockets fans heartbroken, but is all this the reason why Anthony is coming? ?
1. Stephen Curry
Salary: US$37.4 million
ranked first, well deserved to be the soul of the Warriors, Michael Jordan outside the three-point line, has its own system, and has lethal superstars in the past half. Curry is already the hottest superstar in the league today. This season is also the best time to win three consecutive championships. Curry and the Warriors have already launched another attack on the championship. Average of 29.5 points, 5 rebounds, 6.2 assists per game. No. 1 in the scoring list.
