Parsons is definitely amazing. He does off the ball stuff really well too. Versatile role. Works hard. Plays a lot of minutes. Does great things for the team -- I mean man. I sort of want his release to look a little less funky and for there to be a bit more arc to his shots, but hey, now I'm just being unnecessarily picky haha.

True, Lebron's worth extends beyond the basketball court too.
Anyway, in 2009, Forbes valued the Cavaliers at $476 million and the Heat at $364 million. Four years later, they valued the Cavaliers at $434 million … and the Heat at $625 million. Gee, I wonder what changed.

I would put Humphries 1st because he is stinking it up.
Amare is playing well offensively but horribly defensively so I'll put him 2nd.
Yes, Joe Johnson is ridiculously overpaid but I love his game and how hard he plays.
Boozer is a great PnR finisher on a team that doesn't really utalize the PnR (especially when Rose is running the show).
Kobe is also getting paid a ridiculous amount but the Lakers were top 6 in offensive efficiency for half the season mostly thanks to Kobe. As much as it pains me to admit it, Kobe is still one of the best offensive players in the league.

Funny you should mention worst contracts! Amare and Joe Johnson definitely top the list hahaha. But don't forget players like Bargnani guys!
Kobe is overpaid, but not by much. Guy is like 33 or 34 and still playing great.

Kobe is suffering from KG syndrome....eats up all the money and then whines about not having sufficient help. Kobe could play for $0 (not that he would), be fine, and surround himself with more talent than he has now....ya know, if he wanted those rings.
As for Parsons....I think he will be worth a lot by the time his contract is up. His BBall IQ is very high, he can shoot, dribble, dish, and play D...what more do you want from a bball player? He still hasn't hit his ceiling and he is in the upper part of the top 10 at his position, IMO. I think a guy like him could pull $12M+ on the open market in a couple of years.

Kobe definitely could have taken less, but he wasn't going to take $0. Let's say he took a Lebron-like discount -- the current LAL team would still be...the current LAL team. They operate above the luxury tax so often already lol. The only thing a more reasonable Kobe contract would do is save the Buss family more $$$.
