Greg Oden's total salary paid by the Blazers over the past years 2007: 4,662,000 2008: 5,011,680 2009: 5,361,240 2010: 6,796,524 2011: 1,500,000 (would have been 8,788,681) Total: 21,852,944 source: http://www.spotrac.com/nba/portland-trailblazers/greg-oden/ Minutes played: 2008: 1,314 2009: 502 Total: 1,814 Dollars paid per minutes played: $12,046 Avg. minutes per game over his "career":22.1 Dollars paid per game: $266,217 I'm thinking he's going to have to take a minor pay cut to become a dentist. Wish all the best to him in the future- but since he's played his last game here I was curious about his overall compensation versus minutes played.
And he has to go to practices, press/publicity events, and rehab/conditioning training for free? Tough job.
