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 142nd among the 444 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.

At 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-26 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

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.
