Who has the best contract in the NBA? Real player value
The NBA’s player salaries are a crucial aspect of the basketball operations that affect both franchise profitability and the “salary cap.”
Which contracts are the best for teams in the NBA, i.e., which players are paid the least according to the quality they demonstrate on the court?
According to the “Hoopshype” website, the best players in the league were ranked based on their productivity on the field, individual performance, and team success using a statistical parameter known as the “global index.”

By comparing the salary and “global index” of all players in the NBA, one could determine the best contracts (by the team).
The website compiled a list of 20 players whose performance exceeded their fees per season, regardless of their salary level. The list reveals that what matters most is how much a player’s performance on the court exceeds their salary grade, irrespective of their contract type.
