name another 20 point scorer not on a rookie deal that makes 7 mil or less

Mo Speights has a better scoring per 48 than KMart and earns $3.8 Mil.

Let's be honest if this was 10 years ago Kmart (of right now) getting 7 million a year would be plenty reasonable. He is a freaking bargain on his current contract and was when the contract was signed and still is.

This really isn't comparing apples to apples. Awful comparison.

Monster, take a look at this list from 10 years ago, some good names from the past. Raise your hand if you knew Shaq made 29 million that year. Allan Houston, Kerry Kittles, Vin Baker. Wow, what's the most egregious salary here? Hard to pick one.
