More on this storyline
The three-time All-Star guard is on a five-year deal for $251 million, which includes a no-trade clause, that he signed with the Washington Wizards. He’d no longer have a no-trade clause with a buyout because the contract would be voided. -via Arizona Republic / July 3, 2025
The NBA just wrapped its accounting on the 2024-25 season and pegged basketball-related income (BRI) at $10.25 billion, according to someone familiar with the accounting who was granted anonymity because the details are private. It’s a key number for players, as it determines how much of their salary they get to keep from last season. The news is not great for players, as they will forgo more than $480 million from the escrow fund set aside to make the math work in the shared-revenue system laid out in the collective bargaining agreement between players and the league. -via Sportico / July 2, 2025
Stephen Curry gets dinged the most as the NBA’s highest-paid last season at $55.8 million—he also made an estimated $100 million off the court. Curry will forgo $5.1 million, and other players taking big haircuts include Joel Embiid ($4.7 million), Nikola Jokic ($4.7 million), Bradley Beal ($4.6 million) and Kevin Durant ($4.5 million). -via Sportico / July 2, 2025
