NBA Team Payrolls 2021: From the Knicks ($92M) to the Warriors ($173M)

After being one of just four teams to pay a luxury tax last season, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the Oklahoma City Thunder decreased their payroll this offseason to become one of the smallest in the league.

With a payroll of $95.6 million, the only team that is spending less than the Thunder is the New York Knicks, who are on the books for $92 million according to Basketball Reference.

Al Horford is the only Thunder player who is paid more than $13 million this season.

Here’s a look at every NBA team’s salary figure and their top five earners. This is accurate as of Jan. 21 and will change as trades are made or free agents are signed.

The salary cap for the 2020-21 season is $109.1 million and the luxury tax is $132.6 million
