I think Iggy's a tad bit overrated. He puts up nice numbers, partially because he plays almost 40 minutes a night, but I've never been that impressed with him. He seems more future Ricky Davis than future Scottie Pippen.

For what he's getting paid as, he's overrated. Just as is Deng, Okafor and others.

One can make a valid reason as to why they aren't worth that money their receiving, but then when the market is dictating another thing, it's hard ot say their not, when in fact they are in the court of public opinion.......

thats still his rookie contract. dont worry wait till he signs his next one it will be over 20 mil.
Both Wade and LeBron have since signed extensions after their rookie deals were up. Rookie deals are in the neighborhood of ~$4M/season, not $14-15.

So, in essence, take your own advice, and TRY AGAIN.

while they are not on rookie contracts, they have such little experience that they can't get a full MAX contract.

you do not qualify for the 20 mil max until you have been in the league for 10+ years.

lol deng was never better than Iggy.

If you go by PER and defensive ratings, the only year Deng wasn't better than Iggy was last season. And since you probably didn't know already, Deng was hobbled or out because of an achilles injury all last season.

I never said otherwise.

He was the one that stated those numbers $14-$15M I posted earlier, reflected rookie deal numbers. When in fact, that isn't the case.

Nothing more. Nothing less......
