8th on the list. Eeeeeyouch!!!
The only good news about this is, for all the other players on the list, career averages were mentioned, and Gay's criticism was only directed to the current season.
So hopefully, the Raps get their money's worth next year.

I think we all knew Rudy Gay was overpaid btw., or, better put, that guys like Lebron and Durant are underpaid.

Max salaries only hurt the 6 or 7 true franchise players in the league.

But here is a theory - imagine how little other players would be payed if players like Lebron etc. were payed their 'true value'? Lets pretend the superstars are worth $50 mil. Now suddenly if a team wants a 'star' player they need to keep a HUGE amount of funds tied up in one player which means other players (ie. the rest) would make significantly less than they do.
Gay, in that case, may look more fairly payed compared to those handful of superstars than he does now... but his contract would look even worse than it does vs 99.5% of the league.
So one could argue.. that since Lebron and Durants etc are underpaid, which leaves plenty of money to overpay the rest and therefore drive up their average pay, it actually hides how overpaid Gay is.Last edited by Craiger; Tue Apr 9, 2013, 06:47 PM.

So under an entirely different economic system, where superstar salaries go up and all others stay close to the same or go up, Rudy Gay may not be viewed as overpaid, assuming his salary stays the same? Quite possibly.
