5 Biggest NBA contracts signed in the 2019-20 season

#2 Philadelphia 76ers - Tobias Harris: 5 years, $180 million

Philadelphia 76ers v Phoenix Suns

The Philadelphia 76ers had three key free agents to decide on this past off-season. General manager Elton Brand allowed J.J. Redick to sign with the New Orleans Pelicans. He then completed a sign and trade with Miami for Josh Richardson sending Jimmy Butler and his newly minted 4-year $142 million deal to Miami. The free agent Brand chose to invest in the long term was Tobias Harris.

Elton Brand gave the forward he traded to acquire last season, from the LA Clippers, a 5-year $180 million deal meaning a core group of Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons, and Josh Richardson may be together for a long time competing for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. For his part, Harris is averaging 19.7 ppg and 8.6 rpg for Philly this season.

#1 Golden State Warriors - Klay Thompson: 5 years, $190 million

Klay Thompson is out for the 2019-20 season with injury

The Warriors did give shooting guard Klay Thompson a 5-year $190 million contract this year. Thompson tore his left ACL in the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, in June, and will not play in the 2019/20 season. He will essentially receive $38 million this season for services rendered in the past. He is a key member of the core group of Warriors' players that appeared in 5 consecutive NBA Finals and won 3.
