While reading Bill Simmons annual MVP-LVP standings, I found some pretty good stuff

Most Valuable:http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/080415
Least Valuable:http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/080416

423. James Augustine
Our 2008 winner of the "Wait, Instead of Paying That Guy For the Season, Why Not Sign Rod Benson And Boost The Traffic To Your Team's Web Site?" Award, narrowly edging Casey Jacobsen, Louis Amundson and Maceo Baston.

90. Rashard Lewis
Look, any time you can tie up your cap space by giving a free agent $118 million over six years to be your third-best guy and average 18 points and five rebounds a game, you have to do it. OK? Let's stop arguing about this.

47. Grant Hill
Cracked the 70-game mark for the first time in eight years, averaged 32 minutes a game, did an admirable impression of a poor man's Shawn Marion over the last three months and became one of the feel-good stories of the season, right up there with a rejuvenated Kevin Garnett, the Reverse Jail Blazers, Philly's playoff run, Houston's 22-game winning streak and Larry Krystkowiak going 82 games without wearing a suit that cost more than $89.99. Of course, someone could walk into Disney World and decapitate Mickey with a ninja sword and they wouldn't be as despised in Orlando as much as Hill. So I guess there's that.

11. Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu (tie)
It's now patently clear that A.) Howard is a top-five fantasy pick, and B.) you should deal him right before his post-Christmas dip. I hate saying that a 22-year-old guy who just averaged a 21-14 should be better, but man

However, while Lewis is overpaid (yes, we all know), obviously he brings a lot more to the team than what his stats would suggest.
