Any ideas on how tight the Aged 3 are going to be when KG is making $20 million and the other two are making that combined?  Yeah, it's about winning, but I think for Paul it's also about respect.  I don't think "the captain"--a title which is more honorary for longevity that accurate in identifying him as a leader on this team--is of the type that will ease into his later years gracefully, and I certainly don't believe for a second that the self-described "best player in the world" has a handle on his current market value.


  It's worth noting that KG took about an $8M pay cut on his extension. He was making about 50% more than either PP or RA when we won the title.
