At 7.3 million a year, Gadzuric makes the list for overpaid bench-warmers

Forbes compiled an article, naming most of the over-paid bench-warmers. They realize that some of the bench warmers were deserving of their contracts at one point, but then... got old. As for Gadzuric, they point at that his situation is completely inexplicable, seeing as to how he averaged 15 minutes in his 9 year career. My first thought : Outlaw 2.0.

im not trying to bring fault to the NETS

just thought it was intresting how such a horrible player could get a contrat that he clearly doesnt deserve

its the nba its what happens

player A shows flashes or brilliance and budding of potential for team A

player A contracts expires and team A makes a substantial offer

team b also is enticed by player A and makes a higher offer hopefully to lure player A to team B

now most of the time player A does not take less to stay on team A so either team B gets him on a slighlty bloated contract or team A makes the contract even more bloated

thats why i said as a joke the new vets min is 5 million a year. if you make less than that you either really suck/had some catastrophic injury or just really old chasing a ring

The realist keepin it real amongst the surrealists

Good Thing

I think that franchises are starting to get smarter and use more discretion, but the NBA, for the sake of the overall product, can’t fold on fully guaranteed contracts. There has to be some compromise, like eliminating the “max deal” structure that sees Kenyon Martin making the same as Lebron James, or an NFL system where bonuses are guaranteed and nothing else is.

An amnesty clause is nice, but it still doesn’t give the players any reason to live up to their contracts after the fact.
