Los Angeles Clippers: J.J. Redick

2015-16 Salary: $7.1 million
2016-17 Salary: $7.4 million

Honorable Mention: Austin Rivers

The Los Angeles Clippers‘ Big Three are all making mega money, Lance Stephenson has been a dumpster fire, Jamal Crawford’s contract is up after this season and then there’s Austin Rivers. YOU’RE NOT REALLY GIVING US A LOT OF OPTIONS HERE, CLIPS.

J.J. Redick’s contract is up after next season, but there’s no doubt that paying a little more than $7 million a season for a sharpshooter of his talents is something of a steal. At 31 years old, Redick is averaging 16.0 points per game and converting an absurd 48.8 percent of his 5.3 three-pointers per game.

The Clippers have quietly climbed to fourth in the Western Conference standings, and Redick’s recent hot shooting has been a big reason why, especially with Griffin sidelined. He’s never lived up to his Duke glory days in the NBA, but J.J. Redick is an underrated part of the Clippers’ high scoring offense and easily their biggest bargain.
