10. Evan Fournier– Orlando Magic, five-year $85 million

Okay, kicking things off with Evan “Never Google” Founier’s new deal.  Yeah, $17 million a year is a lot of money, but it’s really not that bad when you consider how important he is to this new Magic team.  He’s the best best shooter on the team, and the guy’s only 23 years old.

After trading for Serge Ibaka and signing Bismack Biyombo, Orlando really bulked up on defense.  As a result, they can pay to keep the strictly-offensive Evan Founier around.

Since Oladipo was traded, this makes Fournier one of the Magic’s top offensive weapons, and any offensive weapon will eventually get paid like him. Unreasonable, but understandable.
