With the current roster for the Hawks, would you rather pay?

LOL. Basketball is not all about PPG. My goodness look outside the box score for a change.

So basically any metric we show you youll dismiss. Got it.

Deng is better than Ariza, its not even debatable man. In EVERY METRIC, PPG, RPG, AST Deng is consistently better. Period.

They should get paid around the same "ballpark", but i think Deng will get more. He should hes the better player. is he 50% better........debatable.

Deng 11-12 million

Ariza should be lucky to get in the 10 million range I would think, 9/10 for him. Because of age I would think they get 2-3 year deals.

inb4 "Ariza is better because he like kittens" metric that we dont know about

"Arizas PER with Kittens is an astounding 1.21 JIggawatts."

Yep. You're right. He's better because he can give you an extra assist or two. An extra RPG more is definitely the better rebounder. Their's no doubt that marginally better box score numbers means you're the superior player.

FWIW, Ariza is not worth 10 million. 6-8, with 9 being an overpay is about right for him, but I'm just stating my opinion on that.

How did you arrive at that figure. I just feel like you are arbitrarily pulling numbers out of your ass. No offense.

If you look at SF that put his numbers up..........Ariza made 8 million last year but like i said hes not even close to the same player. We are talking about 5-6 PPG in some cases. Look it up but at the time that Deng and Ariza signed their contracts, Deng was the vastly better player right?

Paul Pierce made 15 million last year, and the year before, and the year before that.

You're problem is, is that you're comparing the numbers of other SF and then coming up with your own designation.
