NBA superstars make millions of dollars yearly, not only from their respective teams but also through endorsements, sneaker deals, and events.
Michael Jordan, who ranks No. 1 on the list of the wealthiest NBA players, has a reported net worth of $3.2 billion as of April 2024. However, it’s interesting to note that he’s only made 2.93 percent of his total net worth from his NBA contracts.

Stars are usually paid top dollar in the league, and they are expected to produce at an elite level consistently. However, injuries are a part of the game, sometimes due to wear and tear or simply unfortunate situations.

With the 2024 NBA trade deadline in the rearview mirror, rosters are, for the most part, decided. The trade deadline is not the same thing as a roster deadline, and teams are permitted to make signings and waivings up to and including the last day of the regular season. Nevertheless, rarely if ever do those post-deadline moves make an impact on the team’s cap pictures in future seasons, and thus fairly accurate assessments of how each franchise lines up for the upcoming offseason can be made.
In the NBA’s most recent projections, the 2024-25 salary cap is estimated to be coming in at $141 million, still an increase from this season’s $136,021,000 but a slight decline from the previous projections. This nonetheless still represents a figure that is more than double what it was as recently as 2015-16. Team spending has however grown just as much, if not more, and so while many seasons since 2016 have seen plenty of cap space available around the league – certainly much more than across the previous decade, when a far slower rate of growth meant only a handful of teams having any every year – this number will be reduced this season.
Nonetheless, even though offseason trades, the instability of draft night, future extensions and contract options can all significantly change matters, there follows a look at each NBA team’s 2024-25 projected spending as things currently stand.

This week saw another huge name come off the board on the NBA trade market as the Toronto Raptors dealt Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Bruce Brown, three-first round picks and more.

HoopsHype breaks down the 12 highest-paid player in the history of the Dallas Mavericks, led by Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley.
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the most competitive teams in the modern era. Since Mark Cuban purchased the team in 2000, they have reached the playoffs 18 times in 24 years, including 12 straight appearances since his first full season as owner. They’ve also been one of the more aggressive spenders willing to sign or acquire players on big contracts.
Here is a list of the 12 highest-paid Mavericks players in franchise history.

The NBA had another record-breaking season in luxury tax distribution last year. Nine teams combined with $634.2 million in penalties in 2022-23, eclipsing the previous record $481 million paid by seven teams in 2021-22. This also continues a trend …
The NBA had another record-breaking season in luxury tax distribution last year. Nine teams combined with $634.2 million in penalties in 2022-23, eclipsing the previous record $481 million paid by seven teams in 2021-22. This also continues a trend where luxury tax penalties have increased each season since 2019-20. That trend is about to end this season with total penalties expected to decline.
We now have a clearer picture of what this year’s total luxury tax distribution will be with the Damian Lillard and James Harden trade requests resolved. Eight teams are currently projected to spend a combined $517 million in tax penalties. This does not include the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans, who are slightly over the tax and could easily get under with a small salary dump.
Here’s a breakdown of each taxpayer this season.
