He's not getting paid more than the other two players that I think you're saying he's not better than, so that throws that argument out the window.

Bogut IS a good Center, if you take any good Center that we have playing right now (Camby, Dwight, Amare, whoever you want to pick and choose), and put them on a poor/mediocre team, they won't be as productive. Bogut has shown consistency and improvement in his stint with the Bucks. And the deal IS NOT for 72 million, it's around 60 million for 5 years, with bonuses of 12 million. I'm sure those are incentives if he plays good, reaches certain goals, then that's the extra 12 million. 12 million a year for a dependable Center is NOT a bad contract at all. With all that's going on, you have to remember that salaries will continue to rise, because the salary CAP will rise. Before you know it, the Mid-Level Exception will be ~7 million in a few years, probably by 2011. There's only a HANDFUL of teams that Bogut wouldn't improve as their starting Center.
As for Diop, yeah, now that could be a bad contract, not as bad as Dampiers though.
I just agreed with KLJ, I feel like I have to take a shower...
Bogut is not a all-star,why is he getting star money
giving this bum 72 million for 5 years is putting salt in the game
how is he getting paid the most when he not even the 2nd best player on the team he is onsomething is wrong with this picture

if Redd and Jefferson was gettin paid more, the bucks would not be able to offer Bogut this type of deal
And yet again, you show everyone just why you have no idea what in the hell you're talking about...
As far as REAL centers go, not power forwards playing out of position, Andrew Bogut is about as good as it gets right now... Outside of Dwight Howard andMarcus Camby, there aren't many legitimate centers better...
What the hell for?
Davis To Stick With Clippers Despite Brand's Decision
Jul 09, 2008 10:37 PM EST
Guard Baron Davis will honor his agreement with the Los Angeles Clippers despite Elton Brand signing with Philadelphia, according to a report by USA Today.
Davis last week agreed to a five-year, $65 million contract with the Clippers after opting out of his deal with Golden State, which had a year remaining at close to $18 million.
Davis had hoped to team with Brand to create a formidable duo, but Brand saw his future elsewhere, signing a five year deal with the Sixers on Wednesday.
Davis' agent Todd Ramasar says the Clippers will hold a news conference Thursday and he will not comment further until then.
what exactly have Bogut proven to receive 72 million for five years?
You're not real fond of reading, are you?
1. He is one of the better centers in the NBA. Good, LEGITIMATE (keep in mind how many power forwards there are playing out of position these days) centers arenot easy to find.
2. The market created this deal. If Desagana Diop makes $31 million over 5 years while averaging 3 points, 5 rebounds and a block per game, why doesn'tAndrew Bogut deserve double that with his 14, 10, 3 and 2 per?
3. He's going to get better, based simply on development and experience. (His development would be even more further enhanced if he wasn't on the sameteam as Michael Redd, Mo Williams, Charlie Villanueva, and now, Richard Jefferson)
