I think the lack of names in this thread says it all.
A lot of posters on this board have some imaginary player they feel is worth the money, and others just have no clue about the economics of the NBA.
Not 1 single name so far, just a bunch of fantasies and mythical players...
List of players in the NBA I would give 80 million dollar contracts to:
Deron Williams
Chris Paul
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
Kevin Durant
Carmelo Anthony
Dirk Nowitzki
Dwight Howard
Chris Bosh
Amare Stoudemire
Derrick Rose
Chris Kaman
Brandon Roy
Rajon Rondo
Pau Gasol
There may be some I'm forgetting, but really your entire argument is based on faulty logic. Boozer is worth more to a team that has the ability and willingness to pay that amount for him. There are many factors that affect a buyer's willingness to pay at any given price. Do we really need to go into detail about the the different factors affecting Utah and Chicago's willingness to pay for Boozer at the price of 80 million dollars? Plus, Boozer's deficiencies on defense have plauged Utah for the last 3 years. Paying this guy would be like paying someone to keep you ill.
