An interesting article considering 6 players in the NBA who may be underpaid for their services. See what you think and if you agree or have different players in mind.
re: Alston, Salmons, and Perkins are not underpaid. If Perkins was paid 2 mill more, everybody would probably call him overpaid. Salmons is a bench guy, and while he is a good one, the market for bench guys stops at about 5 mill and he’s making near that. Have him start consisitently, and then he might be underpaid. As for Alston, I had no idea injury prone three point chuckers were at a premium. He may be a good passer, and he may be a solid player to have on your team, but he does not deserve north of 6 mill. Seeing as he signed a 2 year deal last season at 4.5 mill a season, he’s definitely not underpaid.
