If not for load management, he’d be a perennial MVP candidate. Even so, he’s so smooth on offense that he has even made pull-up midrange jumpers cool again, and his defense remains among the stingiest in the NBA.

2019/20 stats: 27.1 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 4.9 apg, 0.6 bpg, 47.0 FG%, 37.8 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $34,379,100
Career earnings: $117,409,262

Still one of the best pure floor generals in the NBA, despite getting up there in age. He’ll be 36 by the last year of his deal, a season in which he’ll be owed $44.2 million. Would he really turn that down to hit unrestricted free agency?

2019/20 stats: 17.6 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 6.7 apg, 48.9 FG%, 36.5 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $41,358,814
Career earnings: $258,818,571
Agent: Steve Heumann

This season will define a lot for him as far as what his free agency will look like. If he can regain his 2018-19 All-NBA form, he’ll get paid. If he has another injury-played campaign, though, his prospects won’t be as rich.

2019/20 stats: 15.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.3 apg, 0.4 bpg, 35.2 FG%, 24.3 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $36,810,996
Career earnings: $192,126,655
Agent: Jeff Schwartz

We’re years removed from his last All-Star campaign, which lasted only 36 games before he went down with a major injury. Will the dynamic 2-guard ever get back to that elite level again?

2019/20 stats: 14.5 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.9 apg, 39.4 FG%, 31.7 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $21,000,000
Career earnings: $84,487,440
Agent: Aaron Turner

Considered one of the best defensive guards in the NBA by many players, he can also run an offense like a true floor general and provide nearly 20 points per night. An all-around lead guard.

2019/20 stats: 19.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 6.7 apg, 45.5 FG%, 35.3 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $25,876,111
Career earnings: $130,017,380
Agent: Jason Glushon

Even in his mid-30s, he remains one of the steadiest point guards in the league, capable of scoring, creating and defending at high levels.

2019/20 stats: 19.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 7.5 apg, 41.6 FG%, 35.2 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $30,500,000
Career earnings: $159,657,917
Agent: Mark Bartelstein

Rebound machine who can finish above the rim offensively. Zero shooting range. Inconsistent defender due to up-and-down levels of effort on that end.

2019/20 stats: 17.7 ppg, 15.2 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.4 bpg, 53.3 FG%, 14.3 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $28,751,774
Career earnings: $109,078,706
Agent: Jeff Schwartz

Incredibly bouncy big man who is a beast scoring out of the pick-and-roll. Possesses a great jump shot, too, even from three-point range. However, he still needs to improve his defense.

2019/20 stats: 21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.6 bpg, 58.3 FG%, 40.1 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $4,137,302
Career earnings: $6,922,560

Bucket-getting lead ball-handler with great size for the position at 6-foot-6. At his best going at opponents one-on-one and shooting over them off-the-dribble.

2019/20 stats: 20.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.8 apg, 41.5 FG%, 30.8 3P%

Career earnings: $194,820,937
Agent: Jeff Schwartz

One of the best bench contributors in the league last season, he really improved his free-agent stock with the Thunder. Will his efficiency remain that consistent in Los Angeles?

2020/21 earnings: $15,500,000

Agent: Alex Saratsis

Great playmaker and rebounder at the lead-guard spot. He has really improved his outside shooting, though he still struggles at finishing near the basket.

2019/20 stats: 11.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 7.0 apg, 40.3 FG%, 37.5 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $11,003,782
Career earnings: $22,467,840
Agent: Raymond Brothers

Throwback 2-guard who does the majority of his damage in the mid-post or closer to the basket. Not an analytics darling due to poor outside shooting and makes little defensive impact. He’ll still give you 20 a night, though.

2019/20 stats: 22.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 5.6 apg, 53.1 FG%, 25.7 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $27,739,975
Career earnings: $148,965,795
Agent: Aaron Goodwin

His fit with the Jazz was not perfect, but he’s still a solid three-point shooter with an automatic off-hand floater in the paint. Sound floor general whose numbers might improve playing next to a less ball-dominant shooting guard.

2019/20 stats: 14.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 4.4 apg, 40.9 FG%, 37.5 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $34,502,130
Career earnings: $174,039,464
Agent: Mike Conley Sr.

A force down-low as a finisher and offensive rebounder. His paint defense, however, needs to improve, as he hasn’t offered much resistance on that end throughout his career.

Career earnings: $898,310
Agent: Rich Paul

Can post double-doubles with ease and one of the best statistical shot-blockers in recent league history. The problem comes with his effort as well as with his propensity to chase stats as opposed to playing within his role.

2020/21 earnings: $13,598,243
