1. Stephen Curry Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Golden State 24.6 ppg, 6.1 apg The back-to-back MVP hits free agency in 2017 and he’s a mortal lock to get a maximum contract. With the Warriors rolling, it’s hard to picture him leaving the Bay Area anytime soon.

2. Chris Paul Player Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last team: LA Clippers 17.5 ppg, 9.7 apg, 5.3 rpg Chris Paul is on the wrong side of 30, but suitors will line up for his services regardless. You would expect him to lose a step by now. It hasn’t happened yet.

7. Derrick Rose Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: New York 18.1 ppg, 4.5 apg His play has been solid if unspectacular in New York. Didn’t help himself by going AWOL before a game vs. New Orleans.

Career Earnings: $41,764,378

10. Darren Collison Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last team: Sacramento 12.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg Might be a better fit as a backup point guard on a good team than starting for a bad one.
