Forbes article on the NBA's Most Overpaid Players

[chips93]

You are new here. There is handful of Lin haters on this very site whose main purpose is to nitpick Lin's game, words said to the media, and his ever moves in an attempt to diminish discredit or belittle him. It's like a mental aphrodisiac to them.

They tend to stay in the shadows when he is doing well but will come out swinging like as if their lives depended on it.

who are these people

your a good poster, but you have some weird complex over lin, looking to defend him, even before anybody has criticized him.

you do this all the time, bring lin into a thread, where nobody has mentioned him.

[mrbigshot1]

Charlie V needs to be on the list.

[chips93]

fwiw, this isnt a list made by opinion, they just used that one dumb stat 'wins produced', and a players salary.

pretty terrible idea for an article imo

Take Melo off the knicks and I guarantee they have way less wins than they do now. No way has he added only 0.7 wins.

Are we replacing him with the guys that have helped lead the Nuggets to a 3 seed in the west?

Gallo, Wilson, and Mozgov? Sure. They would be much worse with those 3 instead of Melo.

Koufos. Probably some of their recent draft picks were Knicks picks too no?

Koufos wasn't a Knick. He was in the trade, but from Minnesota.


None of the picks were from the Knicks yet.

[Fudge]

No Perkins or DeAndre Jordan?!

[TheReturn]

These guys don't know what they're talking about.

Melo, Dirk and Afflalo are not overpaid. The one's they did get right are the easiest ones to pick out, Ben Gordon.. Hedo Turkoglu.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Calling Melo overpaid is stupid. "0.7 wins?" Stat pulled right of ass.

Sorry I was thinking he'd been with the Knicks briefly. Still picks to come from the Knicks. The trade that keep on giving! Denver has been making some good late round picks with Faried and Fournier. They also got Andre Miller for Felton who was part of the deal.

[bluechox2]

lol they forgot about kobe gasol and howard

[Xiao Yao You]

and Nash

Lol where did they get that number? according to win shares he has 8.7 which is pretty high.

[DonDadda59]

To claim Melo is the most overpaid is really pushing it. There are 10+ mln. players with close to zero impact, while Melo at least can score at a high volume.

Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense. Melo is leading the league in scoring, leading the Knicks to their best season in over a decade, and is playing in the largest media market in the country (with his jersey sales skyrocketing). I feel like his pay is commensurate with what he's done this season. PLENTY of guys who should be ranked over him. Isn't Rashard Lewis getting $13.6 mil this season to average 4 PPG off the bench?
