NBA 2017-18: Stephen Curry and LeBron James lead highest paid players list

#4 Gordon Hayward - Boston Celtics

Gordon Hayward

Contract Details: 4 years and $127.8 million

Salary in 2017-18: $29,727,900

One of the biggest signing of the summer - Gordon Hayward - checks in at No. 4. He opted out of the final year of his deal with the Utah Jazz to become a free agent. In Boston, Hayward re-unites with his college coach Brad Stevens, who was a huge reason for the All-Star moving to the East.

The final year of his current contract with the Celtics has a player-option opt-out clause to it, which given the direction of the franchise, Hayward will most probably pick up. However, that's just a prediction and his final decision will only be known in the summer of 2020.
