Again, author is anonymous. Points for me!
10. Chris Bosh
Age- 26
Contract Terms- 4 years remaining 16.3-20.7
Chris Bosh is a solid big man and a very good player don’t get me wrong but he is the ultimate dick tease by not playing up to his ratings. He doesn’t excel in any one area to be considered a stud. He is efficient but plays more in the 10 million dollar range rather than occupying over a third of a team’s cap space.
9. Andris Biedrins
Age-24
Contract Terms- 4 years remaining 15-18.75
Some might argue he could be #10 on this list but we felt Bosh was just a better talent warranting a little more cash. Biedrins has height, which is always a wanted commodity in the league however he lacks the fundamentals to really be a good player in this league. He doesn’t block enough shots to warrant this kind of money and we have Galo to thank for this utterly ridiculous contract.
8. Ben Gordon
Age-27
Contract Terms- 4 years remaining 15-18.75
Ben Gordon hasn’t lived up to his billing as a scorer or a sharpshooter. He is averaging a meager 5.8ppg in nearly 30mpg. Pretty solid for a guy making 15 mil…umm not really. Of course Ben Gordon makes up for his lack of scoring with his play on the defensive end. Wait a second he is a terrible defender too. Lets thank Galo again for this great contract!
7. Rashard Lewis
Age- 31
Contract Terms- 4 years remaining 14.8-19.3
Lewis, who is the first aging vet to show up on our list, could be the victim of playing out of position but is still declining rapidly. Lewis naturally a SF is playing SG for the Detroit Pistons. He has seen a great decrease in scoring and has seen it on the ratings end too. He will 34 years of age at the end of his contract.
6. Deron Williams
Age-25
Contract Terms-5 years reamaining 15.6-21.8
This guy is going to be good. All he needs is a solid TC! Well this has been the thoughts on Deron Williams for the past 5 seasons and when are people going to realize the kid isn’t developing much more if any. Sure his ratings are pretty sexy but he has shown over the course of his career his numbers flatten out at 16ppg 8rpg and 3topg. Not exactly what I call a franchise player or even a winner. Ask the Bucks, Nets, Spurs if they’ve been better after dealing Deron…wait don’t ask the Spurs they’ve always sucked.
5. Stephon Marbury
Age-33
Contract Terms- 5 years remaining 12-16.8
Trade Block: Stephon Marbury. 126 views 0 replies. This looks pretty familiar it’s a shame this guy couldn’t have gone to a better team because he truly was one of the best PG in the league at a time where PG’s were non existent. Now there is a lot of new blood in the league and Marbury still looks good but some people’s money is better spent elsewhere. Minnesota hasn’t been the easiest guy to deal with Marbury either. There was a time where he tried to get too much for Marbury and now he is stuck with a 33 year old PG with 5 years left on his deal. Luckily for him this contract doesn’t top out higher than 16 mil.
4. Tracey McGrady
Age- 31
Contract Terms- 6 years reamaining 14.8-22.3
MVP! MVP! MVP! Those are the chants from Nova’s office as he is the only one proclaiming McGrady’s greatness. Sure McGrady looks good now but what about next year, year after, and year after next? Looking at Marbury in comparison to McGrady and he looks like a steal. When McGrady is 33 like Marbury is he will be making almost 5 mil more than he is. Talk about inflation. He will be making half of the salary cap when he is 36 years old.
3. Tim Duncan
Age- 34
Contract Terms- 5 years remaining 13.3-18.7
Tim Duncan is terrible now and he is only going to get worse. The only hope to get out of this contract is retirement and we’ve seen a lot of player play till age of 38. If he does play his contract out it will be dark ages in Detroit. The 7 footer is only grabbing 6.8rpg at least he is playing up to his C+ rating!
2. Ike Diogu
Age-26
Contract Terms- 6 years remaining 14-21.8
Holy Moly Donuts! Ike Diog-who? This 2nd round pick has really cashed in from his days in Memphis. At the very least Ike is only 26 and will be out of this contract when he is 31 but it’s a lot of money to dish out for a player who has seen a steady decline in his scoring and rebounding over the course of his career.
1. Paul Pierce
Age- 33
Contract Terms- 6 years remaining 17.5-26.2
Paul Pierce is one of the best if not thee best player in the league right now. However this doesn’t change the fact that his contract is completely absurd. GM Lumley thought it would be a good idea to acquire the best player in the league via free agency. Good Lumley. Lumley thought it would be a good idea to give the 33 year old a full max contract. Bad Lumley. Lumley got fired. Paul Pierce will be making more money than anyone in the league and will make more money than most team’s starting lineups. He is like the New York Yankees pitching staff of 2005-2006. He makes more money than Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson, and Mike Mussina combined.
