Which of the 10 highest-paid players in the new season is worth a premium? Two Warriors are on the list, but Booker Downs is too expensive!

10:53am, 15 October 2025【Basketball】

On October 14th, the NBA preseason has started for some time. In the new season, many teams in the league have the strength to compete for the championship. The Western Conference seems to be more competitive than before, and each team has also spent a lot of money to strengthen the lineup. Speaking of which, in this offseason, many players have received super maximum salaries. Next, we will take stock of the 10 highest-paid players in the league in the new season to see who has the highest premium.

Tenth Towns

Although Towns is one of the best second-in-commands in the active league, his annual salary of 53.1 million is still a bit high for a second-in-command. In addition, his ability to fight tough battles has always been It has not been proven that although Towns' shooting ability is among the top among active insiders, there is still a gap between him and the first-line stars. He has not yet distinguished between toughness and recklessness. In the future, if Towns wants to reach the level of a top star, he needs to play tougher.

Ninth Booker

Booker and Towns are in the same draft. They have the same annual salary since the first contract extension of their careers, so there is no difference in the new season. However, Booker signed this summer After signing a two-year 140 million contract extension, Booker has a good boss. They hope that Booker will stay with the team for a long time. Although Booker is the top scorer in active service, to be honest, Booker's ability to lead the team is very limited, and he does not seem to be worthy of this maximum salary contract.

Eighth Durant

Durant's annual salary for the new season is 53.3 million. Although Durant has entered the end of his career, Durant is still the strongest offensive fireman in the league when he has physical fitness. Last season, his singles efficiency was the strongest in the league. Durant will play for the Rockets in the new season. The team has enough young players to bring a lower limit to the team. Durant only needs to do a good job in offense. Under such circumstances, I am optimistic about Durant's explosion next season.

Seventh Tatum

Tatum who is not injured is definitely worth the price. A healthy Tatum can be said to be the best forward player in the active league. His annual salary next season is 54.2 million. This legend The King of Durability is also very good. It is said that he will be able to return at the end of the new season. Generally speaking, if the Achilles tendon is ruptured, other players will not be able to recover in a season. As a result, he will be back so soon. I hope he can still perform at his peak level after his comeback.

The sixth thick eyebrow

The annual salary of thick eyebrow is 54.2 million. Now as the head of the Mavericks, thick eyebrow is also worth this money. However, the thick eyebrow now has a gap compared to the peak period. His shooting is not as good as before. He was outstanding before, but if he wants to play the 4th position, his offensive ability is not as good as before, and he is not good at confrontation at the 5th position, so the thick eyebrows are not considered a first-line star now. During that time in 20 years, he was still a first-line star in the league, and now he is still good, with the level of the top fifteen in the league.

Fifth Butler

Butler also has an annual salary of 54.2 million. Butler is the second-in-command of the Warriors. The Heat did not want to give him so many contract extensions at first, so they sent him away. The Warriors gave him this contract in order to get him. The Heat were afraid that he would not be able to help the team as much due to his age, so they chose to trade him. From now on, Butler is still a good second-in-command, but he also sacrificed data because he joined the Warriors.

Fourth Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo’s annual salary is 54.2 million. Antetokounmpo is one of the top five players in the active league. It is reasonable for him to get such a big contract. If more can be given, Antetokounmpo can If Antetokounmpo stays with the team, it is estimated that the Bucks are willing to pay more. Antetokounmpo will be a single-core leader in the new season. This will be his chance to win the third MVP of his career. However, the Bucks have no chance to compete for the championship in the new season, so Antetokounmpo has the idea of leaving.

Third Embiid

Embiid's annual salary for the new season is 55.3 million. If he is a healthy emperor, he is indeed worthy of this contract. However, the news coming out of the US media is that Embiid may and Like Leonard, he will not be able to stay healthy in the future, and may be sidelined for a long time due to injuries. Embiid was originally expected to compete with Jokic for the No. 1 spot in the league, but now due to injuries, he has been left behind by Jokic. He is a very good inside killer.

Second Jokic

Jokic is also 55.3 million. He and Embiid were drafted in the same draft. Jokic had previously signed the largest contract in history at the time, 270 million for 5 years, while Embiid last year They signed a three-year, 190 million contract, and both of them have super maximum salaries. Jokic is the best player in the league, and he is definitely worth this contract. If Embiid can be signed naked, regardless of the labor agreement, it is estimated that many teams are willing to give him a contract of hundreds of millions to poach him.

No. 1 Curry

Curry has been the most expensive player in the league for many consecutive years. This is because he has won enough honors with the Warriors and has played for the team for so many years. It is reasonable to receive a super maximum salary. If it were not for Curry, it is estimated that the current Warriors will not reach the heights of the league's first ball market. Curry's annual salary for the new season is 59.6 million. Having said this, do you think the 10 players on this list are worthy of these contracts? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
