You guys just can't look at the box score, okay! He set multiple screens, boxed out guys so Durant could get rebounds, scowled a bunch, and was the enforcer of the game. His skillset does not translate onto the box score, but he is surely worth every penny of his 8.7 million!
In fact, by doing the math here, we are 1/5 of the way done with the season, so 8.7 million divided by 5 = 1.74 million
Perkins has scored 47 points this year, so that means OKC is paying Perkins nearly 40,000 ($37,021) per point. Kendrick GOAT Perkins
If OKC were to pay Durant $37,021 per point, his annual salary would be:
*drum roll*
$94,958,865
