As long as NBA player salaries come from signing contracts with teams, of course it is related to ability. The stronger the ability, the higher the salary. So who are the ten highest-paid players this season? The editor will take you through it.

7th-10th place: Lowry $31 million, George $30.56 million, Conley $30.52 million, Harden $30.43 million

Lowry led the Raptors to second place in the Eastern Conference this season despite the injury of core Leonard. This season, Lowry averaged 14.2 points and 9.4 assists per game. It can be said that he has perfectly connected the team. However, compared to his three-year salary of 100 million, Lowry seems a bit overpaid and incompetent. Another point guard, McConley, averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game, which is completely unqualified for his five-year, 153 million contract. The recent news of the Grizzlies trading Conley is also endless. Maybe the Grizzlies have been completely disappointed with this guard.

Comparing those two, Pickle and Harden are completely worthy of their worth. Let’s talk about Pickle first. He has scored 30+ points in a row recently. Westbrook is also willing to hand over more main offensive rights to George. So far this season, George has scored 27 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.33 steals. All statistics are career highs. Harden's performance has conquered countless fans. Putting aside the issues of fouls and free throws, Harden is undoubtedly the first player this season. Averaged 36.3 points and 8.3 assists per game, and averaged 4.9 three-pointers per game with a 37.4% three-point shooting rate. Harden is fully worthy of his four-year, 170 million contract.

4th-6th place: Westbrook $35.35 million, Griffin $31.87 million, Hayward $31.21 million

Hayward signed a four-year, $128 million contract with the Celtics in 2017. Unfortunately, he suffered a 90° sprain of his ankle in the regular season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers and was reimbursed for the season. Hayward, who returned from a serious injury this year, is no longer as brave as he was in the past. He only averaged 11 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, which is similar to the data of a role player. If Hayward can never regain his form with the Celtics, this contract may be ruined in Ainge's hands. Westbrook is also plagued by injuries this season. He is currently averaging only 21.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game. Although this data is good enough for other players, it is unqualified for Westbrook. I hope Westbrook can optimize his shot selection this season, find his sights, and lead the Thunder further.

1st-3rd place: Curry $37.46 million, Paul $35.65 million, James $35.65 million

Finally, let’s take a look at the three highest-paid players in the league. James and Paul are both veterans who have been playing for many years, and both rank second in the league in salary, but their performance is heaven and earth. This season, James is still able to score 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists at the age of 34, while Paul missed most of the schedule due to injury and could only contribute 15.6 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in limited playing time. According to the data, the four-year 160 million contract Paul signed during the offseason has locked up the team's salary space, which can be said to have delayed Harden's peak period in vain. Fans also jokingly called Paul's 40 million contract "1 gun coin"

After a 4-year child labor contract of 44 million, the cute god Curry finally got the long-overdue maximum salary contract in 2017. After winning the championship in 2017, Curry renewed his contract with the Golden State Warriors with a 5-year salary of 201 million, the highest salary in the league's history. Curry also gave the management a satisfactory answer. This season, Curry averaged 29.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, which is the best season since the 15-16 season. Curry also averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game with a 45% three-point shooting rate, which is even more incredible
