As always, i quintetti All-NBA of the season they will discuss for a few days. Also because the illustrious excluded, such as for example I Morant, they will lose several money from bonuses for reaching a similar milestone. Always taking the Memphis point guard, the lack of presence in one of the best 3 season quintets will cause him to lose 39 million dollars in his five-year contract, which will go from 223 million dollars overall to “only” 194.
Another excluded, but for purely role reasons, is Nikola Jokic. Although the Serbian played another season at the highest level, risking winning the third MVP in a row, he ended up in the All-NBA Second Team behind Joel Embiid, because it was only possible to insert one center in each starting lineup. Luckily from next season, with the new CBA, this role constraint will no longer exist.
In addition to Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jayson Tatum ended up in the first quintet. In the second quintet we find Jaylen Brown, Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry, Donovan Mitchell and Jokic. Finally, in the third De’Aaron Fox, LeBron James, Damian Lillard, Julius Randle and Domantas Sabonis.
Both Tatum and Brown are now eligible for the “super max” salary, worth $318 million and $295 million respectively over 5 years.

Others excluded from these 15 names, in addition to the aforementioned Morant, can be Anthony Davis and Jaren Jackson Jr (who won the Defensive Player of the Year award), even if the former played just 56 games out of 82. Same problem for Kevin Durant, probably excluded due to the numerous games missed. James Harden, Lauri Markkanen, Devin Booker and Kyrie Irving also come out empty handed.
