1/2 while earning 24 million and gets worse every year. It amazes me how he gets paid for being 7 ft. Just had to get that off my chest.
Well, he was a major reason the Nets beat the Raptors in the playoffs. Without him, they probably would have lost. So, you are wrong. He has a role in the NBA.

lol at this, although I agree with Jizzy: Collins is overpaid. But I contend that his salary does not determine his place in the NBA. Players don't 'make it' in the NBA because of salary; its based on skills. So while I'm sure we can all agree that triplezerosausagelipscowlins is overpaid, he does belong in the NBA. He would be an attractive candidate if he was paid ~1.25 (I'm guessing the vets minimum by pulling it out of my ass!) and served as Magloire is playing now: one who gets DNP-CD's until a match up is needed (Raptors in playoffs)

I remember when Deke went down and he had to step in to roll of starting C and same with Zo. I know now Collins is feeling the wraith of Sean William's fame. I feel he shouldn't be starting but he is a good bench player.

Among others. Not sure what your argument is that he isn't an NBA player. I looked through the whole thread but don't see one.
