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 434 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.
