In a lineup packed with stars, Devin Booker owns the title of the highest-paid NBA shooting guard at $55.11 million per year. Booker inked his supermax deal in 2022 to stay in Phoenix.

Paul George and Bradley Beal take second and third place on the list. George signed a four-year max deal with the 76ers in free agency, while Beal signed a five-year, $251.02M max contract with the Wizards in 2022 before being traded to the Suns in 2023.

Anthony Edwards is fourth on the list making just under $49 million per year. He signed a five-year extension that will keep him in Minnesota through the 2028-29 season.

Finishing off the top five is Zach Lavine who signed a max deal with Chicago in 2022, but was traded to the Kings shortly before the All-Star break.
