The Most Expensive Duos In The NBA Right Now

NBA teams know that they need star power if they’re going to have a shot of winning a championship. Better than having just one star is having two greats on the roster.

Going into the 2021/22 campaign, several franchises have a big two – and they don’t come cheap.

The most expensive of all is the LA Lakers’ duo of LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, who are set to earn 41.1m dollars and 44.2m dollars respectively for an outlay of 85.3m dollars on just two players. That’s without even considering the 35.3m dollars that’ll be collected by Anthony Davis.
