4. Blake Griffin: 5-year, $173 million
During Blake Griffin's seven years in the NBA, having missed the first season with a knee injury, he has averaged 21.5 points per game, 9.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists too.
He consistently led his side to the play-offs every year, however the LA Clippers were forced to react quickly to news that Chris Paul had requested a trade to the Houston Rockets.

Having traded Paul, they felt obliged to sign Griffin onto a massive extension to avoid the possibility of losing both their star players in the same summer. They would not have been able to effectively compete for a Championship any longer as a result, though he has benefited significantly from Paul's departure at the end of June.
