There could be a lot of overpaid players this offseason, but if Josh Smith signs for more than 10 million, he wins hands down. I just don't think he is on that level. Yes, he can block shots, and run, but 12-15 million/year? Good god, what the hell has this world come to?

Overpaying for mediocrity is what it's come to.

Anyone else for Bogut at $72 million. Technically an extension and not a free agent signing, but still outrages.

Well no one is going to be more overpaid than Bogut. He is a nice player, but not worth what the Bucks gave him.

I hate when Centers get overpaid, Bogut 72 mill for 5 years? Wtf? He's barely better than Kendrick.

Emeka Okafor

Clippers will overspend to land him if they miss out on J. Smith.

Not sure if Okafor and Kaman make for a better or as good of a tandem than Brand and Kaman.

Okafor's first 82-games season comes in a contract year.
