Are they pretty even in contract as well ?
How much money is Perk making for 6 ppg & 6 rpg ?
He is making 7 million this season?
And again what Perkins does on the floor doesnt show up in the Stat Sheet. Yes im my opinion he is Worth 7 million, even the fool Kwame Brown is making the same.
I think it comes down to what a team needs.
Is Perk worth $7 million to a team that has a 20 ppg scorer and a 30 ppg scorer in the starting lineup, with a 15-20 ppg guy off the bench, a team that just needs rebounds, defense, and a few put backs / open layups from its starting center? Yes, absolutely.
Is Perk worth $7 million a year to a team that goes through dry spells offensively, has no inside game, will be rebuilding after this year, and needs health, consistency, energy, and athleticism more than anything? No, not by a long shot.
