Updated · 2026-27 season

Deni Avdija is on the books for $13,125,000 in 2026-27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Portland Trail Blazers roster and 6.8% of the team's $191.8M payroll.

That ranks 143rd among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 8.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $25,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $13,125,000 down to $11,875,000, a 10% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.

He is the 8th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Portland Trail Blazers' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $191,825,441.
