Sure they do. Does that make them perfect? Someone mentioned Bargnani. Plenty of other players that get paid, and don't live up to the contract. As well as plenty that are underpaid. My argument is merely that he deserved a better deal. I was thinking at least $10 million, but to not even get $8 million is crazy.

Teams didn't make a run at him, you're right. The market moved fast, and Dion got left behind. I don't think that takes away from his worth really.

I mention that people don't watch the NBA because it's a pretty rampant opinion around here that the NBA sucks, no one plays D, etc. Probably comes off bad when I say that. But, I love the NBA more than College as a whole, so I have strong opinions. Just my opinions, don't mean to come off as condescending, but when people say Dion isn't good at anything it's tough to agree with that. Maybe GMs don't like his attitude. This is his audition, so we'll see. Still, some players that got paid aren't any better than Dion.

Who knows what happens behind the scenes. He could have took the $6.9 before they rescinded it. Once they did, teams were only signing Vet minimums, and cheap young players.
