The Works: Searching for the NBA's Fairest Paycheck

Filed under: , , , , ,

Today in The Works: Forget overpaid and underpaid. Which NBA player gets exactly what he deserves?

The Price Is Right

Fans and writers like to hem and haw over which players are overpaid and underpaid, but rarely do they focus on which athletes are paid just the right amount. In part, that's because it's easier to pay the bills by resorting to hyperbole. We love to lambast players who are spoiled bums, or gloat over our ability to spot the bargains (or point out our team signed them). But these are hardly the holy grail of payroll science.

However, the very notion of someone being compensated for what they're worth is an odd one full of enigmas and riddles. With that in mind, we sat down for a chat about what it means to be fairly paid, who is the most fairly paid player in the NBA, and how the league should structure salaries in general. Please enjoy.
