And Manny Harris could of used another yr in college and hed of gone first round IMO, kinda surprised he didnt get picked as well. Didnt watch the game, is he still skin and bones or did he bulk up a little since his Michigan days?

hoops23;631792 wrote:Come on... Andy is much more than a hustle guy. You guys don't like him, point blank, so you look past everything else he does. He's almost averaging 10/10 at 9.1 PPG and 9.7 RPG which is better than the league average. He's getting paid what basically equates to a little more than the MLE. He's DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

Tyson Chandler - 9.0, 9.3, $12.6
Marcus Camby - 6.3. 11.4, $11.7
Okafor - 10.8, 10.0, $11.5
Brandon Bass - 11.2, 5.4, $4.0
Marc Gasol - 11.5, 7.3, $3.5
Kris Humphries - 8.5, 9.2, $3.2
Roy Hibbert - 13.2, 8.2, $1.7
Javale McGee - 9.2, 8.0, $1.6
Hickson - 10.9, 5.5, $1.5
Serge Ibaka - 9.7 ppg, 6.7 rpb, $1.2 million


Others worth comparing:
Nene - 15.0, 7.6, $11.3
Luis Scola - 19.3, 8.2, $7.7
Chris Andersen - 5.4, 6.2, $4.5
Haslem - injured, $3.5
DeJuan Blair - 7.1, 6.5, $900k

So for someone to say that those who argue that Varejao is paid too much don't understand how the NBA works, they should probably think before speaking...

I can picture his smug look on his face when he did "his reasearch" at NBA.com for stats and salaries only to have it blown apart in 3 sec by some people who actually understand the NBA. lolfail of large proportions. Fail of the day for sure.

Commander of Awesome;632215 wrote:LMAO way to post almost all rookie players still on their rookie deal. When you stop talking out of your ass, the higher paid players like Chandler, like Camby aren't on their rookie deals which AV isn't on his rookie deal. LOLFAIL as usual, if I havent already dealt it out, you would have earned IPOTW for an OC record lead.

As for your reply, it was expected. I left that door open for you, knowing exactly what your response would be. So predictable it's sad.

Yet, less than half the guys I mentioned are in their rookie deals. I can provide more guys to support my argument if you want? And what's funny, is that several teams are getting the same production from their young guys as the Cavs are getting from one of their "most valuable" players.


The funniest part is that you think it's foolish to discuss whether Varejao is worthy of his pay. You are obviously entitled to an opinion, but when you make comments that anyone who disagrees doesn't know the NBA only makes you look even more foolish than most people think of you.
