Message: [QUOTE="orangehomer, post: 2039147, member: 151"] he's only 28 and he was mvp of the league only 5 years ago. I just think it is unusual that a guy like that is gone from his original franchise so quickly. I mean it shows, he is nowhere near what he was. he went from being a superstar to being a dime a dozen role player and he isn't even 30. it's crazy how competitive the NBA is. it has to be the most competitive sports league of any kind on earth. edit: another thing is that people keep throwing this "oh that guys is overpaid or that other guy is overpaid" or whatever. compared to what? did you see the salary cap increases in the nba over last year and the next few? and there is a floor, you have to spend a percentage of it. there are a lot worse guys than derrick rose getting paid way more than they deserve right now, according to our outdated sensibilities.
