Re: NBA 2012-2013
They'll take the discount to win titles. We all know that in today's age, a player can make up the difference in salary via endorsements.
Lebron James will never be paid what he's worth.
"If the NBA operated with an open market like baseball does, and teams could spend whatever they wanted without any real fear of the luxury tax, then LeBron would earn more than four times what he's making right now. You heard me … $75 million per season. That's not a misprint. The Lakers, Knicks and Nets would pay him that without blinking. Think of what you're getting: He drives up your courtside prices, your suite prices, your cable ratings (Miami's jumped 34 percent last season) and your sponsorship packages; he makes you the league's most relevant franchise; he guarantees you 10-12 playoff home games every year; and oh yeah, you might win a few championships, too.
And actually, that $75 million number might be low. Once a year, Forbes magazine breaks down the team value of every NBA franchise. This year's report was especially fascinating — Forbes reported that the average value of the 30 teams had risen to $509 million, a 30 percent increase from last year, saying that "the increase is due to higher revenue from television, new and renovated arenas, and the NBA's new collective-bargaining agreement, which reduced player costs from 57% of revenues to roughly 50%." Translation: The owners didn't just beat the players in that last lockout; they trounced them like it was one of those Cowboys-Bills Super Bowls.
Anyway, in 2009, Forbes valued the Cavaliers at $476 million and the Heat at $364 million. Four years later, they valued the Cavaliers at $434 million … and the Heat at $625 million. Gee, I wonder what changed.
(LeBron James, you deserve a raise. A massive one. Just know that you won't get it.)"

Good article. Bill Simmons is a great writer.
He placed Tony Parker and Tim Duncan #2 and #3 on that list and rightfully so.

Re: NBA 2012-2013
Yeah, I really like Simmons stuff. Especially when he deals with the financial issues, stuff I don't really pay attention to all that much.
Danny Green made the list, too. Is it coincidence that the two teams with the best record, the Heat (with Lebron, Shane Battier, and Ray Allen) and the Spurs (Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Danny Green) each have three guys on his list?

I also would include Wade in that list. im not sure why he doesn't. Wade makes less money than Bosh and Lebron. He's still a top 10 player. I'd take him in top 6.

Re: NBA 2012-2013
The key to winning in any sport is to have bargain players. Very rarely do teams with the highest or over paid players win it all because it doesn't allow you to sign a complete team.
I'll be surprised if the Ravens even make the playoffs next year, for example.
