After the Clippers' game I got thinking of what a good value Milsap is. This is an attempt to quantify his and other Jazz players value. I started with salary/hollinger per rating and the results didn't really seem to say much, so I tried salary/win share.
Cliff notes, if you throw out guys on rookie contracts, Sap is the best value of the current ws leaders. Howard also ranks second to Sap in this regard, though it is likely you would find other players in that range if you ran numbers for the whole league.
It would get even better if the statistic were weighed by games played, since ws increase with games played, and many of the players have played more games than the Jazz.
s/ws for the current league leaders in ws (sorted by s/ws):
I found a s/ws comparison for the top 30 highest paid players last year.
link Keep in mind that this is ws for the year and the above jazz is ws for 13 games.
Pointless s/e info and references below
So what is a good s/e number?
Top rating at c, pf, sf is $5x,***
sg is $35,***
pg is $82,***
The top player in every category is always on a rookie contract which is not surprising for obvious reasons.
Best rating not on a rookie contract:
c Kwame Brown $95,291
pf Kris Humphries $178,771
sf Grant Hill $218,919
sg Keith Bogans $127,371
pg Luke Ridnour $264,901
I imagine you might start to see a decent s/e number if you used a min per ranking, but the above info wasn't making sense, so I stopped and looked at ws data instead which appears to be a better metric.
I found articles on hoopsworld that show comparisons for last season:
