Take stock of the top ten players in the NBA s active total salary, Bill is on the list, and George beat KD with 519 million

After the NBA's continuous success, the broadcast contracts signed by the league are getting bigger and bigger, so the treatment of players has improved qualitatively compared to before. Even many blue-collar players can sign large contracts with annual salary of tens of millions. For the stars, it is easier for them to get the maximum salary now. Even Brown signed a super contract with a total amount of more than $300 million before winning the championship, but now he obviously proves that this is a premium contract. But even so, Brown's total career salary still does not rank among the top ten in the active service. So let's take a look at who are the 10 most earned players among the active stars!

10.Leonard (429 million)

When Leonard participated in the draft, he could not see that he had the possibility of becoming a super giant in the league, but the Spurs took a fancy to his potential, and under their training, Leonard did perform far beyond expectations. After entering the league, Leonard developed his offensive cap, which led to him becoming the top star in the league. With his strength, he won various honors such as championship and FMVP. At the same time, he also signed multiple maximum salary contracts. However, Leonard's peak did not last long due to injury. The current contract is likely to be his last super maximum salary.

9. Bill (430 million)

In 2022, in order to keep Bill, the Wizards signed a five-year, super maximum salary of 251 million yuan. As a result, after renewing the contract, the team still failed to make the playoffs in the new season. So in 2023, they decided to rebuild and eventually successfully traded Bill to the Suns. After coming to the new team, Bill suddenly experienced a decline, but because he held the veto power of the trade, it would not be so easy for the Suns to send him away even if he wanted to send him away. His annual salary will still be above 50 million in the next two years. Even because of this, the Suns may start rebuilding directly during the offseason, and Durant and Booker may be sent away by then.

8. Lillard (452 ​​million)

In the last years of his time at the Trail Blazers, Lillard received a maximum salary every time he renewed his contract. At that time, he never said he wanted to join other teams. However, after missing the playoffs in 2023, Lillard still couldn't stand it, so he applied for a deal and joined the Bucks. But unfortunately, Lillard and Antetokounmpo's chemistry was completely lower than expected, so the team's record was never satisfactory. The worst thing was that his Achilles tendon was seriously injured this year's playoffs. For Lillard, who is already 34, this is undoubtedly a devastating blow, and he is also very likely to not be able to return to his peak in the future.

7. Tatum (470 million)

After winning the championship last year, the Celtics decisively signed the largest contract with Tatum in five years, 314 million. His personal performance this season did not disappoint the team. He scored a level in the regular season and led the team to win another 60 wins. But in the playoffs, Tatum's sudden Achilles tendon injury disrupted all the Celtics' plans. The idea of ​​continuing to compete for the championship in a short period of time is no longer realistic. The team needs to deal with these premium contracts under their command as soon as possible. Among them, Brown and Porzingis are the most difficult. The strength and attendance of these two people are far from matching their own value.

6. Antetokounmpo (472 million)

In 2023, Antetokounmpo was exposed to his idea of ​​leaving the team, but the Bucks traded in time, which gave Antetokounmpo hope of winning the championship again, so he decided to sign another three-year, 175 million contract with the team. As a result, two years have passed, and the Bucks still cannot break through the first round, which made Antetokounmpo consider the possibility of leaving the team again. This time, the probability of his application for a transaction is obviously much greater than before. Lillard was seriously injured and the team was hopeless to strengthen. He continued to stay here without any chance to win the championship. Some reporters have even revealed multiple conditions that Antetokounmpo must meet if he wants to get Antetokounmpo. First of all, the lineup must be guaranteed, and there is also a big ball market or a city with less tax payments.

5. Unpopular Eyebrow (498 million)

The Lakers traded in 2019, and then they won the championship together in 2020. Unfortunately, since then, Unpopular Eyebrow has never become the higher-level star the Lakers have been looking forward to due to injuries and other factors. So when the Lakers had hope of winning Doncic this season, the team decisively sent him to Dallas without the knowledge of the team. In fact, from the perspective of the team's championship and business perspective, the 26-year-old Doncic is obviously a better player than Dallas. He is already 32 years old. When he is about to decline in the future, his annual salary will become higher and higher in the next three years, which is obviously not conducive to the Lakers' championship competition.

4. Durant (512 million)

Durant, who entered the league in 2007, has played in the NBA for 18 seasons. During this period, except for rookie contracts, he received a maximum salary, so his total salary has also successfully exceeded 500 million US dollars. Although Durant is 36 years old and has experienced a major injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon, he can still average 26.6 copies this season, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, so he is undoubtedly worthy of his annual salary of 50 million.

According to media reports, many teams will also pursue Durant during this offseason, with the Rockets being one of his most likely next players.

3. George (519 million)

When he became a free agent in 2024, George failed to get the Clippers' maximum salary offer, so he decisively chose to leave the team and join the 76ers, because the latter gave a maximum salary of 212 million in four years.. However, now it looks like the 76ers are completely ruined. This season, 35-year-old George averaged only 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The team ultimately failed to enter the play-offs. His annual salary will continue to rise in the next three years. Obviously, at this stage, unless the 76ers are willing to send him away in the first round, no team will choose to take over.

2. Curry (536 million)

Also last year, Curry and the Warriors successfully reached an early contract renewal, and the two sides signed a one-year contract of 62.58 million, which basically means that Curry is going to live his life with the Warriors. Curry, 37, averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the regular season. Because his condition is OK, the team is willing to spend a lot of money to trade Butler. Such operations also prove that the Warriors and Curry have the same idea and want to take another try. Unfortunately, Curry was injured in the second round of the playoffs, causing the team to lose 1-4 to the Timberwolves. After he and Butler and Green get older in the future, the Warriors' hope of competing for the championship will definitely continue to decline compared to this year.

1. James (584 million)

James, who will be 41 years old at the end of this year, is likely to sign a contract with the Lakers in the offseason. Considering that he still has the best lineup level this season, as long as he thinks, even if he doesn't look at his business value, he deserves the maximum salary. However, the Lakers' salary space determines that as long as James signs the maximum salary, they cannot be substantial reinforcement. Therefore, if James wants to compete for the championship in the future, he can only choose to cut his salary, but no matter what decision he makes, it is already a foregone conclusion that he will become the first 600 million-dollar man in NBA history.
