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)

Feel like when i think of CJ i just assume there was some random year he got an all star nod. Idk why lol
Probably because he was definitely going to get one in 2021. His first 13 games he was 27/5/4 on 47/44/84 splits (11 3PA and 5 3PM PER GAME!), but got injured, missed 23 games and couldn’t regain that form.
yeah, that's the most surprising part of this post to me. Imagine being a guard in the West.
I'm imagining taking all star weekend off to drive my Ferrari.
Bro probably went on vacation with the Ferrari too
