Most Overpaid Player On Each Team in 2023

Bulls Coby White for only 7 million when he’s actually been solid this season ? How about Lonzo Ball who won’t play for 2.5 years and if he ever plays again.

Agreed.

The fact that they bought this man out and waived this man in 2 seperate transactions, within an 8 month period is just wild.

Walls career has been financially amazing in spite of being filled with horrible decisions....

Remember he couldn’t sign with addidas cause he thought he should make even more money than they were offering....and Nike never called...now he retired- and he is retired because he is a blood (verified) and a bad locker room guy for the org because of how he dogged the rockets on line....he is done by his own doing and he can still play

why? Siakam is definitely overpaid. He is making more money than the top 3 players of his draft class (Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown and Domantas Sabonis).

Pascal is much better than both Ingram and Brown and it isn’t close. While those guys might be marginally better as scorers, Pascal is way beyond them in terms of passing, playmaking, and running an offense. He is also a better and more versatile defender than both.

Sabonis I would give the nod to based on this year, where he has been truly dominant on offense. Pascal is worlds better on defense but I can’t deny that Sabonis is one of the premier offensive players in the league and a system unto himself.

Bradley Beal is overpaid more that Porzingis
Zach LaVine is overpaid more than Coby White

Devonte Graham is not that overpaid. Doug McDermott is easily SAs most overpaid player

For what he's paid to do, and does it well, Mitchell Robinson is not overpaid. If anyone on the Knicks is overpaid its Evan Fournier.

Zach was definitely overpaid beginning of the year for Chicago, but his play since Jan has been improved, and at least you can make an argument he's worth a max contract. Lonzo with no knees is the issue now.

lol didn't even notice that. Brad Beal is in the running for most overpaid player in the league.

I think we must have different definitions of overpaid. If you would get offers for your current salary in free agency, I don't think that is overpaid. Ben Simmons is overpaid because nobody would offer him that deal now. Trae Young isn't overpaid because someone would offer him a max again.

Who else on the Raptors would you consider overpaid? OG, Poeltl and Barnes are arguably underpaid. FVV and GTJ make starter money which is what they are. I guess you could argue for Boucher but it's a relatively small amount compared to Siakam.

Thad Young has a 8 mln. salary and is getting DNP-CD lately. He is my pick.

Yeah clearly the person who wrote this list hasn't paid close attention to the Pacers this year. Hield is downright UNDERpaid given his high production.

The correct answer would probably be Daniel Theis, who is pretty much out of the rotation yet is owed $9 million next year.

Hield is playing great ball. He is actually very fairly paid/slightly underpaid. He has the most coveted skill in the league, shooting high volume threes with good percentage.

Why would they pick Mitchell Robinson $17 M but over look Evan Fournier $18 M & Derrick Rose $14.5 M
Real terrible list.

Funny enough, he might be one of the most underrated players in the league lol

I think of the guys on the team him making so much as a backup is as close to an overpay as we have. No one is actually a bad contract right now though Clarke could be depending on how his injury recovery goes. Basically which is the least good of all of our contracts ha.

Clarke is the right answer due to injury, but they may have not been taking the injury into account or could have just been looking at salaries for 22-23 in which case it is Luke Kennard.

I don't think MPJ is that badly overpaid in 2023. His being "overpaid" is basically always down to his questionable health, but he's been pretty healthy this year. He's been efficient while being low usage and his shooting is really important to what the Nuggets do when they're playing well. i can see his contract as the "worst" on the Nuggets, but that's more down to it's length and health risk than production when in the lineup.

If anything, I'd say that Porter Jr. has had a slightly better year than Murray who is payed slightly more (though Murray is obviously playing a different role).

Rendei · Post #59 » by **Rendei** » Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:08 pm

This list is really bad. Hawks should be John Collins. Celtics should be Marcus Smart. I don't even want to keep going through the list anymore.

Every NBA team would take Siakam on that contract.

ALso, how is Coby WHite more overpaid than Lonzo, or anyone else, Coby White is like least overpaid Bull :lol:
