You act like Malik isn't a veteran in this league. That holds some weight wether you suck or not

Isiah has always been known for his bang for the buck.

Lee will probably be making $8-10 million a year once he gets out of his rookie salary and signs a new deal.

He's not worth $8-$10 million.. Max I would give him is $5-6.

Lee making 8-10 million while artest settles for the mle???!!!!

I'm not saying Lee doesn't deserve 8-10 mill, but i am saying artest is far superior. And should be making more than Lee handsdown

Bro stfu.Usually when you are the last pick of the 1strd you dont make that much money compared to a World Champion veteran.Yeh sure malik is over paid but he did deserve a contract of around 4-5mil a yr

I doubt Artest will settle for MLE money, he should make more.

Lee is worth what Nene, Wilcox, and Diaw are making. Lee can be among the league leaders in field goal percentage, rebounds, and can average a double-double a night if given the minutes. Lee is going to get overpaid regardless of how much you think he is truly worth, it is how business in the NBA works.

Varejao signed a 3 year deal of around $17 to $18 million. Lee is the superior player and he is likely worth around $2 million more a year than Varejao is right now.

He deserves Wilcox type money which is about $6.75 million/year.

I will book it and place it in the "fiction" section
Lee is going to get 9 mil a year on average. 9*5=45
Lee will get overpaid because he is looked at the same way ppl saw Ben Wallace. He looks like a game changer, he looks like a player that wants to win and has a winning style of basketball.
