The average salary for the Golden State Warriors is $5.9 million. That number is somewhat thrown out of shape by high earners like Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala in the $10 million-plus range. The median Warriors salary is $3.8 million. Median is just the number where half the players make more and half make less. In some cases, both median and average figures for the Warriors are meaningless. That’s because the salaries are each very different over such a wide range. There’s really no “typical” salary for a Warriors player because each player occupies their own unique level on a widely varied pay scale. To put it in perspective, the top five players make from $11 million to $15 million. The middle five players make from $2 million to $5.5 million. The bottom five make from $290,000 to $1.3 million.

He has earned over $107 million in salary money so far in his career. He has been fined only $8,000 in his career. That’s low with $2,000 per foul for only four technical fouls.

In an April 18 game against the Houston Rockets, Thompson racked up an impressive 34 points and drew several fouls. He also threw 16 free throws and sunk all but one of them. Thompson makes a sky high $129,000 per game. With 1,771 points so far in the season, that gives Thompson $8,753 per point.
How much does Andrew Bogut make?
Andrew Bogut is the #3 highest paid Warrior player with $13.8 million a year. That’s $115,00 per game. On a per-point basis, Bogut is the highest paid player on the team.

He made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2006 and the All-NBA Third Team in 2010. He has suffered from a string of injuries over the course of his career. He was reportedly unhappy with the way he played in the 2014-2015 season. As a result, Bogut stopped eating all processed sugar in the following off season.
