Raptors Least Efficient Team In League?

[Bendit]

Yep. Add in Peja, Dalembert, Kenyon Martin, Rashard Lewis (!), Micheal Redd, and Gilbert Arenas. Some of them made sense, sorta, at signing, but a few are head slappers instead of scratchers!

Eddie Curry...the poster child for the movement against guaranteed contracts in a cap system.

[Maleko]

Love or hate him, it is a damn good contract in terms of what you are getting for the $$$. THink about some of the other overpaid hacks out there cough cough Baron Davis cough cough Elton Brand

I would say I still support it. I would agree (choke cough hack wheeze) wilth Multipaul that it is a reasonable contract, especially when signed, and especially considering the potential that was there at the time of signing. I would be ok paying him that as a 6th man if we had a true starting 4 & 5, but still pushing for him to get traded.

Ok, back to the Paul...

You guys all supported the deal when he signed it

LMAO, says the guy with the Andrea bargnani avatar lol

LMAO with the guy who's name, Raptorsking,is in fact, a direct dedication to the one and only, King Bargs.

Well done King.

LMAO, says the guy with the James Johnson avatar lol

[Multipaul]

Chris Bosh thought it was a good deal. When he got it he tweeted "Congrats to Andrea...".

Bosh knows maxdeals, and technology, both of which Bargs IS

wat does bosh know? cut bosh's salary in half and he's still overpaid.

[Raptors_]

This guy clearly knows what he's talking about. King Bargs earns his keep, probably the most cost effective Raptor we have, not over paid in the slightest...probably underpaid!

It was signed based on potential. The guy has only lived up to one side of it. He shows no sign of ever living up to the blue collar side of it.

[Multipaul]

Yeah, congrats Andrea. Congrats on totally milking that situation.

There's a massive flaw with this type of calculation: quite often, teams that are near the bottom of standings will look to make moves mid-season that take on significant salary in the short term, in order to buy themselves salary flexibility in the long-term. In our case, that's Peja. The author never mentions him in the article, but if you subtract Peja's nearly 15 million from our payroll, we drop down to about 2.5 million per. Same story as with Minnesota and Curry (who the author does mention - makes you wonder why he explained it for Curry but didn't for Peja, when Peja actually distorts the numbers more). Point is that from our perspective, efficiency this year was sacrificed for flexibility going forward, a trade-off that every GM would make.

Baiting and here comes the hook... Seriously, underpaid? That's why virtually everyone in the media who had something to say about Bargnani's contract said it was too much?
