Player salary next season: Curry leads nearly 60 million, James misses the top ten Doncic

With the development of the times, the NBA league’s salary cap has soared, and players’ salaries have increased a lot. To give the simplest example, when we first watched the football, the league's maximum salary was less than 20 million US dollars. Now, this is only a little higher than the middle class contract in the NBA. On the contrary, there are many players who earn an annual salary of 50 to 60 million US dollars.

With LeBron James executing the player options, he will continue to stay in the Lakers in the future. The media has counted the salary rankings of all players next season. Among them, Stephen Curry led the way with nearly 60 million, and LeBron James performed the player option, but he missed the top ten. Since only 20 players were listed, his teammate Luca Doncic simply failed the title, which was even more surprising.

Stephen Curry's salary in the new season will reach an exaggerated $59.6 million, but his benefits to the Warriors are actually far beyond this number. Don’t forget that before Stephen Curry joined, the greatest pride of Warriors fans was the performance of the Black Eight Miracle in 2007. This is certainly an achievement, but it also shows that there are too few highlights in the history of the Warriors. In the era of Stephen Curry, he led the Warriors to win the championship four times, and his market value increased several times compared to the past. What's more, Stephen Curry is an epoch-making figure. Even if his condition is declining now, there is no problem with this money.

But Damian Lillard ranked second, which I believe many people were surprised or even dissatisfied. After all, Damian Lillard was elected as the 75th super giant in history, which made him often complain. Even at his peak, Damian Lillard is at most an All-Star level in terms of honors and team achievements, especially now that he is seriously injured and is reimbursed, he may not be able to play next season, and his salary is less than 1 million yuan lower than Stephen Curry, which is really an exaggeration.

The players ranked 3-10, including Thomas, Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Jason Tatum and Bradley Bill. As for Jaylen Brown, Carl Anthony Towns and Devin Booker, their salary is exactly the same, both of which are more than US$53 million, tied for 11th on the list, successfully suppressing LeBron James, whose salary is US$52.6 million, but only ranks 14th. The players after

are Paul George, Jamal Murray, Kawhi Leonard, Donovan Mitchell, Zach Laven and Evan Mobley. On the contrary, Luca Doncic, the Lakers leader, did not make it into the top 20, which is quite surprising. Of course, before the start of the new season, Luca Doncic may renew his contract with the Lakers in advance, and his salary is expected to be higher in the future.
