The Los Angeles Lakers’ Luol Deng is earning over $17 million this season. Nonetheless, due to how the 2017-2018 campaign has turned out for Deng, words such as “earning” are questionable.
Deng has barely seen action on the court this season. Outside of the Lakers’ very first game, the small forward has not been given another opportunity by head coach Luke Walton.
That being said, why he remains with the team seems enigmatic. However, take another look at the money he is making this season alone. Bear in mind that he is set to make over $36 million the next two years as well.
