Keep in mind he's also torn an ACL, has never made the playoffs, and never been an All-Star.

I think the PG position has such strong depth nowadays that, much like the center position, even middle of the pack starters generate $10-11 million per year offers. New CBA with a 20-25% increase on those numbers would be $12.5-14.0 million.

It might not be so crazy.

I know the anticipated salary cap increases with the new TV deal are going to change the status quo, but 14 million a year for Ricky Rubio?  You're still going to get yourself in trouble overpaying mid-level guys like that.

Apparently Klay Thompson got a maximum extension $70 million over 4 years.

Klay is good, but nowhere near that good.

and for his career shoots .369 fg%, .323 on 3 pointers, and averaged 10.2 points a game. yes his last year was his best statistically, but geez, that seems like a heck of alot of money for those sort of stats.

horrible deal. would be almost unbelievable if it weren't minnesota doing it. rubio shot .381 last year, his pest percentage in an NBA season. that's $14M per year for a rich man's phil pressey:
rubio's career numbers, age 24, 3+ NBA seasons, 32 minutes a game: 10pts / 8 ast / 4 reb
pressey per 32 minutes, age 23, one NBA season: 6pts/6.5 ast/3 reb
and keep in mind pressey was playing spotty minutes on a really bad team.
horrible deal.
