Pippen was paid like a bench warmer from 1990-1998 ($2M/year)


What if Wade took the minimum in 2010 and LeBron had another max slot to get Amare or Melo along with Wade/Bosh


That’s basically the advantage MJ had the entire 90s

Another bron stain showing his lack of knowledge. Mj barely made more than 2 million a year for most of his career too. So to answer the question not much.

If LeBron and Wade made $2M/yr how many rings would they win by stacking the rest of their roster with superstars?

Did they stack the rest of the team with super stars though? Rod was a superstar mainly for his theatrics and personality. He could ball obvious but he was never a superstar. After him who were the other stars?

Anyone who averaged more than 10 points a game, since Bulls biggest rivals only had a 10ppg 2nd option (Jeff Hornachek). It’s all relative to the talent of the rest of the league.
