Who was the Warriors’ highest-paid player in each of the past 30 seasons?

The Golden State Warriors boast a proud history. Since relocating to the Bay Area from Philadelphia in 1962, the franchise has made 23 playoff appearances, reached the NBA Finals eight times and won four NBA championships.

Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Baron Davis, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant are a few of the franchise’s most notable players in recent decades, and it’s fascinating to look back at the Warriors’ year-by-year salary history to see how those players were valued financially in their prime.

Below, we identify the highest-paid player on the Golden State Warriors roster for each season since 1990-91. Also included are team payroll figures and where those totals ranked among other NBA teams.
