1. James Harden: 6-year, $228 million
James Harden is a superstar and one who knows how to win. Last season, he averaged 29.1 points per game, 11.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds.
He was an influential figure in the Houston Rockets' success, as they finished third in the Western Conference behind eventual winners Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs.
If not for Westbrook's historic season, he would have undoubtedly won the MVP award last season too. This year, the Rockets have the best record across the West (14-4), due to Harden's spectacular performances on a nightly basis.
31.1 points per game, 9.8 assists and 1.6 steals for the season with six weeks in the books, he continues to improve his statistics while justifying why the Rockets made such a huge commitment to him this summer.
Guess the Lakers players!
