The American media "FadeawayWorld" recently announced the 25 highest-paid players in NBA history, ranked by three positions: point guard, shooting guard and small forward. Now, let's take a look at their five most profitable power forwards based on their players' revenue share. Players in the first pot earn at 1$200 million to 1$4.9 billion, including Juwan Howard (1$4.9 billion), Carlos Boozer (1$4.3 billion), Siakam (1$4.3 billion), Antoine Jamison (1$3.9 billion), Aaron Gordon (1$3.4 billion), Julius Randall (1$3.1 billion) and Marvin Williams (1$2.2 billion). There are seven players in those five pots, including Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon and Siakam, all active players and all former champions. Siakam, who currently plays for the Raptors, wanted to sign a $40 million contract with a maximum salary, but the Raptors turned him down. The Raptors are only willing to offer a contract extension with an annual salary of about $35 million, or they will consider trading Siakam. Although Siakam is 29 years old, his annual salary for the 2023-24 season will reach $37.9 million.
Aaron Gordon helped the Nuggets win a championship this year, and his value has also risen. As a former slam dunk king, Aaron Gordon didn't ask for a bigger contract. Juwan Howard played 19 seasons and won two championships with the Heat. Between 1998 and 2003, his annual salary was already between $11 million and $20.5 million, and player salaries in that era were insane. Carlos Boozer played 13 seasons and earned 1$43.5 billion. He was supposed to re-sign with the Cavaliers, but then went to the Jazz, who gave more money. Antoine Jamison played for 5 different teams, scored 30+ points, and had a career that lasted 16 seasons. Julius Randle is the star of the Knicks, a former Lakers draft pick who has played nine seasons. He's been reimbursed for injury for the new season, but it's not easy to become an All-Star. Marvin Williams had a career spanning 15 seasons and averaged 10 points per game2 points and 52 rebounds. The highest-paid power forwards in NBA history are divided into four tiers: $1.5 billion to $1$9.9 billion.
The four players are Zach Randolph (1$9.6 billion), Paul Millsap (1$9.2 billion), Chris Webb (1$7.8 billion) and Draymond Green (1$7.7 billion). Career earnings in 1500 million to 1There are seven power forwards between $9.9 billion. Among them, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors is undoubtedly the most well-known. In the offseason, after he signed a contract extension with the Warriors, his NBA career earnings will exceed 2$500 million. Zach Randolph played 17 seasons and earned a whopping 1$96.6 billion, a former Grizzlies All-Star. Paul Millsap earned a whopping $1 in 16 seasons in his career$92.5 billion, played for five different teams and became one of the Hawks' core players. Chris Webber has a career spanning 15 seasons and earns a whopping 1At $78.2 billion, he is one of the 15 greatest power forwards in NBA history. Elton Brand played for five different teams in 17 seasons of his NBA career, but almost all of his peak moments came with the Clippers. Rasheed Wallace, who helped the Pistons win a championship in 2004, is a reaper of technical fouls.
And the highest-paid power forward in NBA history is divided into three tiers: $200 million to $2$4.9 billion. The six players are Tobias Harris (2$4.8 billion), Tim Duncan (2$4.2 billion), Chris Bosh (2$3.9 billion), Brother Alphabet (2$3.4 billion), Pau Gasol (2$2 billion) and LaMarcus Aldridge (2$1.3 billion). Tobias Harris' massive contract is arguably one of the worst investments in 76ers history. In an effort to keep him, the team turned down the opportunity to re-sign Jimmy Butler. Today, Butler has led the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals three times and to the Finals at least twice. The 76ers, by contrast, haven't even touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals. By the 2023-24 season, Harris earns a whopping $39.3 million per year. Tim Duncan played 19 seasons in the NBA and earned a whopping 2$4.2 billion. This is his salary after the pay cut, and Tim Duncan opted for a salary cut to renew his contract for the last three seasons of his career, earning only $1.8 million a year per season. That's why the Spurs asked Tony Parker to accept a veteran's base salary late in his career.
Chris Bosh won two championships during his time with the Heat, and his career earnings reached 2$3.9 billion. If it weren't for the blood clot problem, Chris Bosh could have had a longer career, and he could have earned more than $300 million. From 2016 to 2019, the annual salary was as high as $23 million per season. At present, Brother Alphabet's career income has reached 2$34.5 billion, but he has a chance to make it to the top. In an era dominated by sky-high contracts, he had the opportunity to secure a three-year, nearly $200 million contract. In the 2023-24 season, the annual salary will reach $45.6 million, and in the 2024-25 season, it will reach $48.8 million. Pau Gasol earned 2$2.1 billion. He worked with Kobe Bryant with the Lakers, helping the Lakers reach the Finals three times and win two championships. LaMarcus Aldridge's NBA career lasted 16 seasons, and he earned 2$13.4 billion. In order to compete for the championship, he left the Trail Blazers and then the Spurs. In NBA history, the second gear of the most profitable power forwards is: 2$500 million to $2$9.9 billion.
Kevin Love earned 2$6.9 billion. Anthony Davis earned 2$6.6 billion. Blake Griffin earned 2$5.8 billion. Dirk Nowitzki earned 2$5.1 billion. There are a total of 5 people in the second pot, and Kevin Love has played for 15 seasons so far, earning 2$6.9 billion, if it weren't for the more injuries, he would have a chance to break through $300 million. He currently plays for the Heat, and although he is paid less, he is happy. He helped the Cavaliers reach the Finals four times and won a championship. In 2023, he helped the Heat reach the Finals. Anthony Davis currently plays for the Lakers, helping them win a championship in 2020. In the off-season, he received a job of about 3 years 1$800 million super-cap contract. However, the actual annual salary received is about $25 million to $30 million. Blake Griffin played 13 seasons in the NBA, lost his job in 2023-24 and no team was willing to sign him in the offseason after playing for the Celtics last season. Dirk Nowitzki played a full 21 seasons in the NBA, but only three seasons reached the $20 million level with big contracts.
Although at the end of his career, Cuban wanted to give him a decent pension contract with an annual salary of about $25 million, Dirk resolutely refused. In terms of total revenue, the list of the most profitable power forwards in NBA history is Garnett, who has earned more than $300 million in his career. From 1999 to 2015, Garnett earned more than $12 million per season and six seasons with more than $22 million. A well-rounded player, Garnett was once the heart of the Timberwolves and helped the Celtics win a championship in 2008.
