These are the NBA's most overpaid players: by thebrettknight
Of course, these metrics are limited by the inputs they’re using; if the metric doesn't account for something that’s inherently hard to quantify—for instance, a player’s ability to man up on defense—then that metric won’t fully capture a player’s value. But while it’s easy to point out that problem, it’s not so easy to solve it. We’re left with an imperfect measure.
Because these metrics are assessing a player’s contributions relative to a theoretical replacement-level player, they can be negative—that would suggest the player is actually worse than a replacement the team could pluck out of, say, the G League. In our analysis, though, a negative win estimate would make the player’s expected salary a negative number, suggesting the player was actually paying the team to play.
We also excluded players whose contracts are governed by the rookie salary scale. That left us with 257 players to analyze. We compiled the data. We crunched the numbers. These are the ten players who appeared to be the most overpaid.Yong Teck Lim/Getty Images
