Grizzlies

Most expensive Ja Morant

Morant earned his five year $197 million contract by being the best rookie in his draft class so far. However, off court trouble had held him back from doing his job. His recent trouble his guns and him being suspended from the NBA, is going to keep him off the court for at least 25 games.

Least expensive Kenneth Lofton Jr

Lofton Jr really showed his ability last year when he dropped 40 points in a game, that’s part of the reason why the Grizzlies gave him a four year $6.9 million contract.

Pelicans

Most expensive CJ McCollum

Three years $100 million contract. I feel like CJ is a little too old for a $100 million contract, but he’s only making the Pelicans better, so he should get his bag while he still can.

Least expensive EJ Liddell

Liddell earned his sport on the Pelicans and received a three year $6.2 million deal, with a team option in the third season.

Knicks

Most expensive Julius Randle

The Knicks originally signed Randle to trade him and develop Obi Toppin, however, he had a breakout season and was able to secure a four year $117 million contract out of it. He was viewed as one of the saviors of New York.

Least expensive Mile McBride

Fairly amazing defensively, McBride secured a three year $4.3 million contract.

Suns

Most expensive Kevin Durant

Before traded, Durant signed a four year $194 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets. There were many problems with Brooklyn specifically with Kyrie Irving, that led to Durant requesting a trade and then the Suns pulling the trigger on a trade.

Least expensive is Bol Bol

Bol signed a deal with the Phoenix Suns to get him a one year deal worth $2.1 million
