Myles Turner, ~$21 million dollars

Myles Turner is the top earner for the Pacers team after receiving a sizable pay raise this year after having one of the best years of his career. Expect this to still be a great value for the Pacers given they heavily front-loaded his contract so that he is economical for the next two years.

Buddy Hield, ~$19 million dollars

Buddy Hield is the second highest paid Pacers player, just given that he has been in the league so long and has been a solid player. At the time the contract was given by the Kings it was likely an overpay, however, at current market value this is still a decent contract to have ahold of for the Pacers. This will be the final year on Hield’s current contract if he continues to play for the Pacers and doesn’t get extended prior to next season.
