UNC’s Black Falcon, better known as Harrison Barnes, is one of the NBA’s most coveted free agents this summer.
His performances during the 2016 NBA Finals have netted a great deal of criticism. Some people believe that Barnes does not deserve a max contract. Some people feel as though Barnes messes up Golden State’s “small ball” lineup, which represents their best five players on the team.
Based on years of NBA service the max salaries for 2015-2016 are:
- 0-6 years – $16.407 million
- 7-10 years – $19.689 million
- 10+ years – $22.
