Team-by-team salary lists | Top 50 players | Overpaid | Underpaid | React

Want to know the most important statistic in the NBA? It's not points, rebounds or assists, but each player's monetary amount on the league's salary report.

SI.com has obtained a copy of this year's report that was available to league and team officials, players and agents at the start of the season. The report includes salaries for this season through the 2011-12 season. The report also cites the options, if any, that are attached to each player's contract. And it also shows the salaries of players who are no longer with those teams (check out how much the Mavs are paying Michael Finley this season).

You can click here to access each team's salary, or you can click on the specific team name in the chart below. Also, check out our top 50 highest-paid players, as well as our top 10 overpaid and underpaid players. And if you want to let off some steam, you can send us your thoughts on our NBA blog.
