But a handful like Johnson, Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Orlando’s Aaron Gordon are seeing their salaries rise to a different stratosphere this season, enormous raises that may come with an enormous rise in expectations. No one saw more of a salary leap than Jokic, who made $1.5 million last season and will collect $25.5 million this season. Gary Harris got a $14 million raise, going to $16.5 million this season. The big money kicks in now, from $5.9 million last year to $19.3 million this season. Am I going to change for the better or am I going to change for the worse?
