Brook Lopez: $14.6 million
Roy Hibbert: $14.2
Al Jefferson: $13 5
Nene: $13.0
Okafor: $14 5
Howard: $20.5
Marc Gasol: $14 8
McGee: $11.3 -- 3 year average
Aldridge: $14.7 -- 2 year average
Ibaka: $12.25
Bogut: $14.2
D. Jordan: $11.2 -- 2 year average
I'd say the Wolves did really well at $12 million per year for one of the top 2 or three low post scores in the NBA as well as a terrific offensive rebounder just entering the prime of his career at age 27. Nice job, Flip!

YIKES. Thank you Golden State for shooting yourself in the foot. Bogut making roughly $14M per year (don't know details yet) would be laughable.
I think that's definitely fair for him if he says healthy. He's a dominant defensive player and solid on the offensive end. He has yet to show he can stay healthy though.
