Yesterday I took a look at the point guard position and how the New Orleans Pelicans expenditures measure up to other teams around the league. Jrue Holiday, while considered an expensive player, is actually paid like an average point guard in the league. Shocking, I know.
We move on to shooting guard this morning where Eric Gordon's max contract can be put into some revealing light. The very term max contract is a bit of a misnomer as what a player can earn is determined by when he signed that contract, how many years he has played in the NBA, and what the salary cap was that season among other variables.
