Most Overpaid Player On Each Team in 2023

[YogurtProducer]

Thad young is easily the most overpaid in TO

[PapaBear53]

True, but Westbrook had only about $13M remaining of his $47M contract for this year. According to reports, the Jazz bought him out for that and he signed a pro-rated minimum with the Clips, about $780k.

Then that $13 million the Jazz paid him made him BY FAR the most overpaid guy on the Jazz, even if bought out. And so by these figures the Lakers must have paid him around $34 million then. How is that not the Lakers' most overpaid? Because they traded him? Still WAY overpaid. Only guy in the NBA that has a legitimate claim to being the most overpaid palyer for two NBA teams.

[JujitsuFlip]

The most overpaid player on the Rockets is easily John Wall.

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.

[OxAndFox]

I mean if they want to put Barnes in there for Sac instead of Holmes, they don't even know the Kings' roster.

[MavsDirk41]

Mavs are paying Bertans 16 million to sit on the bench. Hardaway is way overpaid but at least he plays.

[DonaldSanders]

Draymond overpaid? Insane.

Yeah, Klay's $40M should be there instead.

Yup. Lots of Non-Warrior fans love to downplay Draymond's impact, or they don't watch and thus miss the defense he plays. No, Draymond isn't 2016 Draymond anymore, but he's still a big plus guy for the Warriors who badly need his defense.

Klay is still a good player, but more like a 15M guy than a Max 40M+ player.

[moss_is_1]

because talent wise he is not as good as Brandon Ingram or Jaylen Brown or Domantas Sabonis. In any redraft of 2016 these guys (in any order) will be picked before Siakam.

I don't think this is a fact. Siakam is just as good, if not better than all these guys.

[Hoop Hunter]

I'd love to only pay Buddy 21mil after his current contract. Leading the league in 3pters at a awesome %, 42.6%.

He's been really good this season. 17pts 5rebs 2.7assists

[_NoMas]

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).

all-nba 2 of the last 3 years, and is 26th highest paid.

How is that overpaid?

Is this the consensus opinion amongst fans? Maybe I’m in a minority but I’m taking Siakam over Ingram and probably Brown too

[jordanwilliams6]

How is Coby White on the list? He gets paid 7 million and has actually been great this year if you ask Bulls fans who watch most games.

Hmm Beal?

This is a very debatable statement that's probably grounded in a recency bias of Pascal's last 15-20 games where he has struggled.

Either way, he's not overpaid, he's paid pretty much on-par with what production he's put in.

[-Luke-]

If Jonathan Isaac is included on this list, shouldn't they also include Lonzo Ball for the Bulls instead of a solid guy on his rookie contract?

[jbk1234]

Siakam being on the list is really dumb. Thad Young or Boucher are the guys who Toronto would have a hard time shipping out for free (and really that's the test).

Klay is clearly the most overpaid Warrior, followed by Poole, and if Wiggins is going to revert to Minny self now that he's gotten paid, he's third.

Also, some of the guys on the list are in the last year of their contracts so they're coming off the books.

Disagree, especially about Ingram

[Michael Jackson]

Yeah Coby White is a really strange one to show up on that list.

[rapsdontlie]

Putting Siakam on here is completely laughable

Agreed. He's a two-way player and the best guy on our team. Highly paid, sure. But I wouldn't say he's overpaid.

[Jadoogar]

Putting Siakam on here is completely laughable

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.

[CobraCommander]

:lol: was thinking Markelle Fultz until I realized we STILL have Jonathan Isaac.

Completely forgot about him being out coming back then being out for the season again just like that...

Jonathan Isaac!

Hmm Beal?

Beal is definitely more over paid than KP- I bet the Lakers would have wanted KP right now over Rui and others on that squad
