The Deseret News had a fun project the other day, listing the top salaries in the history of all 30 NBA franchises. That got us thinking here at the Express-News: What would a list of the top paychecks in Spurs annals look like?
It required a little adjustment. If you go purely by the numbers, Tim Duncan would have seven of the top nine salaries in Spurs history, and that’s not a very interesting list. Rather, we used the 10 highest salaries earned by individual players, which range from Duncan’s $22,183,220 in 2009-10 to $10,000,000 for Tiago Splitter and Danny Green in recent seasons.
