Bargain salary players

by JustAnotherWarrior on Nov 30, 2007 1:28 AM PST

Decided to compile a list of bargain salary NBA players for all of you here, who like to talk trades and salary cap. Hope it also helps for a comparison and future reference
Criterias:
No one over 32
Player have to be established
No rookie/veteran/bought out contracts
At least 2 years left on the contract

J.Howard $9mil 07/08, $10mil 08/09
C.Butler $8.25mil 07/08, $9mil 08/09
T.J Ford $8mil 07/08 $8mil 08/09
S.Jackson $6.5mil 07/08, $7mil 08/09
Gooden $6.5mil 07/08, $7mil 08/09
Tinsley $6.3mil 07/08, 6.75mil 08/09
S.Battier $6mil 07/08, $6.5mil 08/09
Haslem $6mil 07/08, $6.5mil 08/09
Barbosa $5.5mil 07/08 $6mil 08/09
Haywood $5mil 07/08 $5.5mil 08/09
Korver $4.5mil 07/08, $4.75mil 08/09
L.Walton $4mil 07/08 $4.5mil 08/09
Pachulia $4mil 07/08 $4mil 08/09
D.Stevenson $3.4mil 07/08 $3.6mil 08/09

How about having a starting 5 of
Ford/Butler/Howard/Gooden/Haywood or Tinsley/Barbosa/Jackson/Haslem/Pachulia and still being $20-25 mil under the salary cap?

Feel free to add players to the list or maybe argue with some selections

are you kidding me

that lineup is weaker than our lineup without baron.

Are you sure?

So Ellis/Azubuike/Jackson/Harrington/Biedrins is better than Ford/Butler/Howard/Gooden/Haywood? I highly doubt it. If we can't win without Jackson we won't be able to even hang with anyone without Baron

Not sure what you mean by bargain players...

They all look like they're getting paid fair market value or more to me.

Did you read the second part of the sentence?

It says $20-25 mil under the cap. Warriors are a borderline playoff time pushing luxury tax. Throw that $25mil on one or two superstars for any of the starting fives I suggested, and you got a championship team, while still under the luxury tax.

lol

That team would suck and wouldn't even be close to a championship because you would have no bench. After a while all the players would be exhausted from playing 48 minutes every game and would all get injured.

The J-RICH show is on his way out...=(

My "bargain team"

Can beat yours...

PG: Chris Paul $3.6M
SG: Kevin Martin $1.8M
SF: LeBron James $13.0M
PF: Emeka Okafor $5.4M
C: Dwight Howard $6.1M
----
Bench
Deron Williams $4.0M
Monta Ellis $0.8
Danny Granger $1.5M
Josh Smith $2.2M
Andris Biedrins $2.6M
----
Total: $38.8M

Heh, I know you said no rookie contracts and only "established players," just thought I'd expand the parameters a bit. That team would be ... pretty good.
