That would be awesome for Roby to make that, but it is really high.#45 pick can expect to bring in roughly $20 million in his 1st year.

Here is a link to Spotrac with a run down of the first round. The second round has no projections. #1 pick Zion Williamson is projected to make just under $20 million; #30 pick Kevin Porter Jr. is projected to make just under $4 million.
Yeah, I don't know much about the site. That's why I posted the link. Here's a link from 2017-2018.Zion is slotted at $9 million. I don't know where the $20 million comes from on that site. Roby can expect about $1.5 non-guaranteed.
Not every deal at the NBA trade deadline is going to be a blockbuster. Sometimes, teams just need to make minor moves for bookkeeping purposes. That seems to be the case here, as the Dallas Mavericks have traded Isaiah Roby to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Justin Patton and cash considerations, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
In exchange for taking on that year of extra guaranteed salary, the Thunder get a prospect in Roby who has looked promising in the G League so far this season. He was averaging nine points and seven rebounds per game with the Texas Legends. Patton had also spent most of this season in the G League and recently had a career-game there while playing for the Oklahoma City Blue. He nearly earned a triple-double by scoring 45 points, pulling down 13 rebounds and dishing out nine assists against the South Bay Lakers last week.
