In spite of a relatively quiet offseason for the Kings, this team still enters the 2020-21 campaign above the salary cap. Sacramento did sign De'Aaron Fox to a massive five-year extension worth $163 million, but since this new deal won't kick in until the 2021-22 season (Fox is set to earn just $8.1 million this term), this transaction did not have an effect on the Kings' salary cap in 2020-21.
Per spotrac, Sacramento currently has a total cap of $121.3 million, which is $12.2 million above the league-mandated cap.
Buddy Hield is currently the team's highest earner with a salary of $24.7 million for the 2020-21 season. Harrison Barnes comes in second at $22.2 million, with Cory Joseph rounding out the top three with $12.6 million.
