The best bargain in the NBA: Part Deux
I was so inspired by my own genius yesterday that I decided to add some more players salaries for comparison. Just a quick note, this list is for Centers only and doesn’t include anyone on their rookie contract.
Tony Battie: 4,7 points, 3.9 rebounds, .4 bpg, 2009 salary $5.7 million
Mark Blount: 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, .4 bpg, 2009 salary $8.5 million
Andris Biedrins: 13.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.7 bpg, 2009 salary $9 million
Kwame Brown: 3.4 points, 4 rebounds, .5 bpg, 2009 salary $4 million
Tyson Chandler: 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1.4 bpg, 2009 salary $11.3 million
Erick Dampier: 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1.3 bpg, 2009 salary $11.5 million
Dan Gadzuric: 3.4 points, 3.4 points, .6 bpg, 2009 salary $6.2 million
Brendan Haywood, (was injured for all but six games this season), 2009 salary $5.5 million
Nene Hilario, 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 2009 salary $9.6 million
Chris Kaman, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 bpg, 2009 salary $9.5 million
Darko Milicic, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 bpg, 2009 salary $7 million
Brad Miller, 12 points, 8 rebounds, .6 bpg, 2009 salary $11.3 million
Nazr Mohammed: 2.4 points, 2 rebounds, .5 bpg, 2009 salary $6 million
Jermaine O’Neal, 13.2 points, 7 rebounds, 1.8 bpg, 2009 salary $21.3 million
Shaquille O’Neal, 18 points, 9 rebounds, 1.6 bpg, 2009 salary $21 million
Rasheed Wallace, 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1.4 bpg, 2009 salary $14 million
Wow, that’s quite a list. Who would have thought that Jermaine would be the higher paid O’Neal. Further, Perk is being paid the same amount of money as Kwame Brown? I think our point is proven.

Got that right.

Yeah, Zaza is such a Doozha. Anyhow..Perk is underrated. Granted, he is not a superstar, but good big men are an ENDANGERED SPECIES in the L. I mean look at how the Fakers have made Bynum out to be the 2nd coming of Christ, and Portland has basically put the hope of their entire franchise on Oden’s shoulders. (poor bastards)

I was just as shocked as anyone to see how much some of these stiffs are making.

I fully agree, Perk is definitely one of the best bargains in the NBA today.
Thank goodness that contract has quite a few years to go before he asks to be paid closer to his talent level.
