All GREATLY overpaid if lebrinda makes as much as Bosh! His fault for making that team, but he deserves to be the highest paid, no question!
Some of these guys are underpaid. Lebron's contract is irrelevant since his contract his not his market value by any means due to salary rules.
A player's value is based on the value he can add to a team's ability to make $. Unfortunately, that formula is tricky due to the differences in how much money teams can make in their markets. In a sense, larger markets should be able to get better players since the better player generates more revenue to the team/league in that market, and the better player also generates more extra-salary revenue for themselves in larger markets.
Which ones are underpaid? Not na'n one (yes I said NA'N)! All of the best ones should make CP3 type money and Brinda should be paid the most. Kome is the most overpaid by far, it isn't even funny! I agree they are the best of the lot of players (except Bosh) and should be paid handsomely but about 20m is sufficient enough... NBA giving out money like these fools are on the government cheese line! If Bosh deserves as much money/close to it as any of those top guys then KG does too! I'm taking an old man KG over Bosh all day, all Bosh has over KG is youth (and I even think Bosh is an underrated player [not underpaid])!
