I was watching the Sixers last night, and was wondering how much of that insane contract was left after Tobias Harris put up 20 points against the Bucks.

Turns out he’s made the most money in the history of the league without an all-star appearance.

It does kind of make sense due to inflation and the explosion of salaries in the late 2010s and 2020s.

A productive scorer with good length and skill, Harris is largely inconsistent and did not live up to the contract he was given. Albeit, it was a must-give for the 76ers, where he would have likely walked for free, so Philly elected to overpay to keep him.

The Sixers signed Harris to a 5-year, $180M contract in 2019, fresh off the departure of current Miami star, Jimmy Butler. Harris’ contract expires this year.

Rounding out the rest of the Top 5 are: 2. Danilo Gallinari ($198M) 3. Nicolas Batum ($187M) 4. CJ McCollum ($181M) 5. Eric Gordon ($178M)

    CJ has another $99.8M guaranteed on top of his $181M in the bank.

    Harris has another $39M coming this season, on top of his $211M in the bank.

    Out of Harris or CJ, who ends their career with more NBA salary earnings?

    My guess is that Harris still gets another mid-level contract for a few years and passes CJ in the end
