Your analysis is imcomplete. First of all, Utah had Stockton and Malone the last 3 years (same time those Rocket players took those big contracts). So, those players you mentioned (lopez, kirilenko) were unable to earn a lot compared to our players. Also, they do not have enough years in the league to earn a bigger contract. If what you are addressing is contract $$ to productive minutes on floor, fine our expensive players didn't play up to what is expected of them. But don't try to make a thread about correlating salary vs. performance based on one game.
