The following is a list of the highest paid player on every team in the NBA for the 13-14 season in order from highest to lowest.
Both Bryant and Nowitzki are in the final seasons of their current contracts and are expected to take reductions in pay in 2014. Bryant makes 34 percent more than Nowitzki.
Carmelo Anthony makes slightly less than teammate Amar'e Stoudemire, but will likely become the highest paid player in the NBA beginning in 2015 since his 2003 Draft classmates each took less money to sign with the Heat in 2010.
