You might or could not have considered the Minnesota Timberwolves as a staff that boasts two of the High-100 highest-paid skilled athletes. I’ll admit that the thought has by no means crossed my thoughts. A current article caught my eye, and I used to be shocked at its contents.
Sportico has launched their annual 100 Highest-Paid Athletes within the World for 2022, and the Minnesota Timberwolves boast two of the High 100 athletes from that checklist. When you could not initially think about the Timberwolves as a staff the place skilled athletes go to make their fortune, the staff has made greater than their fair proportion of extremely compensated skilled athletes.
- 69. D’Angelo Russell – Minnesota Timberwolves – $27M wage $6M endorsements $33M Complete compensation
- 82. Karl-Anthony Cities – Minnesota Timberwolves – $28.5M wage $3M endorsements $31.5M Complete compensation
You’ll have thought that Karl-Anthony Cities was the highest wage-earner for the Timberwolves, however you’ll solely be partially right. Whereas he nudges out D’Angelo Russell in NBA wage earnings, he’s behind on endorsement offers. In consequence, he trails Russell on the checklist, though he’s solely trailing by $1.5 million.
Large earnings or large worth?
Now the query is, are the Timberwolves getting their cash’s price? By way of the NBA facilities, I consider that Karl-Anthony Cities is a cut price for the Timberwolves. He leads or is close to the highest in scoring, rebounds, blocks, and even makes his presence felt on the court docket in assists and steals.
There could also be some debate over D’Angelo Russell’s worth at his present $27-million wage. He has tailored to his position as a staff facilitator, and his assists of seven.1 per recreation have been his career-high. Sadly, that facilitating has come on the expense of his personal manufacturing. His 18.1 factors per recreation have been the bottom level of the previous 5 seasons. His taking pictures from the ground, 41.1 p.c, was the bottom that has been for the previous six seasons. Even his three-point taking pictures accuracy is at a five-year low.
After all, a part of that will merely be the rising pains over studying run the ground with Anthony Edwards. Because the Timberwolves prune and graft gamers to the roster for the 2022-23 NBA season, it’s one thing to maintain in your radar.
