#1 Stephen Curry - $37.45 million

Golden State Warriors v Atlanta Hawks
Golden State Warriors v Atlanta Hawks

Steph signed a supermax extension that kicked in from 2017-18 onwards. It guarantees him $205 million over 5 seasons, which means he'll be the highest wage-earner this season in the NBA at $37.45 million, and will not finish below the top 3 for the next 3 seasons.

Supermax contracts can serve as a team's anchor on their way to the top, but Steph is himself the gateway to championship success for the Warriors, and one might even argue that the design of the supermax limits his earning ability, for he's definitely more valuable on and off the court than the $37.45 million he's owed over the season.
