Currently, at the age of 29, Blake Griffin is set to make just under $32 million dollars with the Detroit Pistons this season.
His salary will rise until he has a player option (that he will almost certainly take) for just under $39 million when he will be 32 years old.
It is worth mentioning, that paying any player this amount of money poses a significant risk. Obviously, for some players that risk is more than worth it, but no matter what, it’s still a liability.
With that said, Griffin does not fall into the “Obviously good enough to be worth the risk,” category.
