Paolo Banchero Contract & Salary

Paolo Banchero is on the books for $41,240,250 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Orlando Magic roster and 19.7% of the team's $209.9M payroll.

That ranks 39th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 25.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 5 seasons left on it, running through 2030-31, worth $239,206,320 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $41,240,250 in the first year up to $54,450,000 in the last, a 32% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2030-31 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 23, the deal covers his age-23 through age-27 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 14 players on the Orlando Magic's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $209,865,321.

Orlando Magic sit at $209.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$10.2M of room below the first apron.
