Luol Deng is getting $10 Million a Year. Think about that for a second...

[sammichoffate]

That's a ****ing steal :biggums:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Honestly I thought this was going to be a "wow NBA players make so much money" thread

[LoneyROY7]

RBA disagrees.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Based on that^ He's pretty fairly payed

[LoneyROY7]

The REAL steal is Curry. Still can't believe how lucky the Warriors were with that contract.

[Smook A.]

Totally agree. Stephen Curry, imo, is the most underpaid player in the league. He should totally be getting 17 or 18 million right now.

[Eric Cartman]

Better fit than Lebron.

[T_L_P]

He's about 3 mil a year underpaid.

You mean the max right?

Well, Stephen was constantly injured at the time and nobody was sure about his ankles.

[LoneyROY7]

Yeah, I know why he got the contract he did...the Warriors just really lucked out with the timing of it.

#2 right behind Curry as most underpaid, imo.

[sammichoffate]

Agreed, Dirk and Curry are totally underpaid

[Spaulding]

Amare...every time I see how much he's paid....I'm sure it makes the Knicks cry too...

Him and Klay are both max-worthy

:biggums:

[Cavalier]

I think he's getting paid what he deserves. The Bulls offered him 3/30m and he declined, hoping for a better offer in free agency. I'm assuming the best offer was the one that he took, 2/20m from Miami so essentially his/his agent's greed cost him 10 million. I'm sure if he could do it over again he would have been happy to take the Bulls offer.

[knickscity]

Curry yes, Klay not quite, but will likely get it.

[ihatetimthomas]

At the time, the Warriors were considered to be gambling on him with that contract. He was paid what his worth was given his injury history, possibly even more than his worth.

Klay is going to have a career season

[Sarcastic]

Yea, one of Donnie Walsh's many failures as GM of the Knicks. Curiously he's still thought of as a good GM. Don't understand why.

It was actually rumored that we offered 2/22m and he turned us down. I don't know if he thought he could get more or just didn't want to play in Atlanta.

$121,951 a game if he plays full 82. That's living a good life :pimp:

Ferry barely was able to convince Kent Bazemore to sign here.

So what do you think?

[SexSymbol]

10 mil a year? That's garbage to me
I spend that kinda money of cars and cribs, you see
Bill Gates is my financial advisor
When I'm done with this, you wish you gon be me, wiser

[hawkfan]

He should have gotten a 3 years, 36 million deal from the Hawks. Really even 4 years, $48 million.

The Hawks have trouble getting free agents and he would be a little overpaid, but not too badly.

If the Hawks had Deng, with Sefolosha, and one of our young players developing (Payne, Scott, Muscala), the Hawks could have competed for 2nd in the East.

But Danny Ferry messed that one up.

[Duderonomy]

:facepalm Thats pretty much the going rate so no there's nothing to think about. Deng has been a non factor on the win/loss column the past 2 seasons. If he wasn't the Bulls wouldn't have traded him for nothing. Lebron and Deng are switching teams, but theres more it than that. Heat are aging and Cavs also traded for Love and have a new coach.

[navy]

Klay is going to have a career season
He's not a max player. Put him as the number 1 on a team and he will win you like 10 games.

[Andy Hug]

Holy shit - Bargnani at 47th highest paid in the league

So glad that scrub is off of the raptors jeesus

****ing Colangelo man
