The Cleveland Cavaliers are in excellent position to dominate the Eastern Conference again in 2025-26, and De'Andre Hunter will once again play a large role in making that possible. The problem, however, with Hunter's situation, is that he's going to be earning a large paycheck relative to his production on the hardwood.
Next season, Hunter will be playing on the third year of his four-year, $90 million contract extension that he signed as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. He'll be earning $23.3 million in 2025-26, which will be the fourth-highest salary of any player currently on the Cavaliers' roster.
