Top 10 Richest Basketball Teams

We all love talking about how much basketball athletes are getting paid but ever wonder who the top 10 richest NBA teams are?

We only hear about how much money basketball athletes are making but we don’t take in count that the teams are the one that actually pay them. Every NBA team is given a yearly budget through the board of directors which they then need to determine how much each player will earn based on their contract deal. Here is a list of the top 10 richest teams in the 2014/2015 NBA season:
