The top five:

In Pictures: The NBA's Highest-Paid Players
*********************
The No.3 and No. 4 highest-paid are veterans Garnett and Tim Duncan who will earn $18.8 million and $18.7 million respectively this season. The two are among the best power forwards to ever play the game (Duncan is arguably the best) and have earned 25 All-Star nods between them. They are still productive players (Hollinger ranked Duncan fifth and Garnett 30th among all players last season in his ratings). Yet both are on the back-ends of their career and their teams play them only 30 minutes a game to keep them fresh for the playoffs.
Duncan is still better than any one else in the top 5 other than kobe.
At Michael Redd in that list....Wow.
Rashard Lewis is getting away with highway robbery as well.
LOL at Rishard Lewis and Micheal Redd getting paid like franchise players. Some realy dumb GM's out there.
and hes worth every penny
AND...#1 in our hearts.
At least it's an expiring contract.
Lewis still has another year worth over $21 million.
4th highest paid, 5th in PER last season.
Next year Duncan will make $21,300,000 according to HoopsHype, which seems to match Forbes' numbers for the article.
highest PER of top 5 salaries; he could have been paid more, but decided to help the team financially4th highest paid, 5th in PER last season.
Redd and Lewis? No surprises here.
I'm going with ShamSports' calculation, $21,164,619.
Yeah, I use Sham too, but it looks like the piece used HoopsHype for their figures so I went with that.
Spurs definitely did and still getting their money's worth and more
Duncan has best winning % of any player in the four major sports
Wow, Michael Redd is overpaid. Yikes. And Rashard Lewis? WTF.
Michael Redd used to rock though. Why Rashard Lewis? He's always sucked and been average.
Redd could've lived up to that contract if he stayed healthy. Lewis just straight up robbed the Magic though.
#2 and #5 are both abominations, and the reason that the CBA is being re-done.
Redd is not a franchise guy, he's just a good shooter/scorer. He's the kind of guy you let walk if he's trying to hold you hostage, because shooting guards are easily findable. There are probably 10 guys who produce within 10% of him and make half the money. , they found Redd in the second round.
LMAO Lewis and Garnette
Well it is Milwaukee for crying out loud. How else are you going to get anybody to go there?
Rashard Lewis this season:
8.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, .313 FG%, .167 3P%
