The NBA has a salary cap, so it's important for every team to spend their money wisely. The NBA is also a star driven league, so it's key to find a star and pay them right. You'd assume the highest paid player on each NBA team would be a star, or at least quite good. Of course, you'd be wrong. I went through each NBA team and looked for the highest paid player (in terms of per-year salary for 2017, not total contract) and ranked which are the worst.
A note, I rated these based on the performance and age of the player when they signed the contract, not how they've played since. So players like Paul George are off the list. With that, here we go!
We talk the Portland Trail Blazers free agency moves, the NBA's social justice marketing, and more!
Two of the greatest names in NBA history retired this season. I figured it would be fun to compare the careers of these two major names using some advanced stats.
