I have to take what we pay them into consideration because a new bentley for $20k is more valuable than a new honda for $20k, which should push the players on their rookie contracts higher, given the same or similar production.
1. DJ Paid $2.5M but one of our top 4 players in most games
2. Diaw He is able to guard most people at 3 different positions, and has shown flexibility to adapt to most situations (this is also the reason the TTime probably hasn't seen more playing time, and Boris hasn't be traded~he's that valuable to us).
3. GW Probably most valuable trading piece, also the 'face' of our team from the fans perspective
4. Jackson-less trade value than DJ, Boris or GW
5. Nazr-expiring contract is big plus, and he's our only big with back-to-the basket moves
6. TTime-needs more minutes to justify the contract (or justify him being over paid)
7. McGuire-Hustle galore at a low price, but needs some coaching to realize he's not a jump shooter
8. UPS-He needs to show the ability to consistent make a 15 ft jumper ala Udonis Haslem
9. Kwame-takes up an amazing amount of space, and cheap in relative terms, put a fish out of water in this offense
10. Hendo-Huge upside because of rookie contract, but Jack has to be traded for a Big for it to be realized
11. Livingston $3.5M paid and I'm just waiting for the knee to crumble (though I love the potential)
12. Matt Carroll His production may increase if he continues to see minutes (in the new offense scoring helps)
13-15 Najera, Diop and Collins-production versus amount paid does not make sense (and the potential doesn't seem to change, even with Diop's blocks or rebounding ability).
