After Robert Rowell’s infamous comment that the Warriors refused to extend Baron Davis, the best player the team has had in over a decade and the man most responsible for getting the Warriors to the playoffs for the first time since Moses wore short pants, b/c the Warriors “first priority was salary protection,” we here at OW thought it might be helpful to the Warriors to track how protected the salary was of the player they essentially signed instead of Baron Davis, Corey Maggette. Maggette (who throughout his career has averaged fewer games played per season than Davis) makes $8,275,862 this year or about $100,000 a game if he played a full season.
Through 25 games, Maggette has played in 16, or about 64% of the Warriors’ total games, which is slightly lower than his career rate of playing in 79% of his team’s games.
He has received about $1.6 million in the 16 games he has played and in those games the Warriors have a 3-13 record.
He has received about $900,000 in the 9 games he has missed and in those games the Warriors have a 4-5 record.
Only on the Warriors could an accountant not only be making basketball decisions, but be making decisions where the numbers simply don’t add up.
