Premium Member Diesel Posted October 12, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 There are only a handful of players who have passed their first contract and are still with the same team... 1. AI 2. Tim Duncan 3. Big Z 4. Kobe 5. KG 6. Dirk What that means is that out of the 600 players who have been drafted over the last 10 yrs, only 6 that I can come up with are still with their original team... That's amazing. FURTHERMORE.... Does that means that these are the 6 most valuable players in the league... P.S. If you can think of any others please post em... I would hate to think that FAcy and cuts knocks out 594/600 players in the last 10 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyman3 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 keep in mind, some players get EXTENSIONS- so thats kinda like resigning them... in a way some of the newer players (former lottery picks) fit under this category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted October 13, 2005 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 KG AI, Big Z, & Kobe = 9 yrs. This is just the most amazing stat to me... There are hardly any valueable players any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extension is a second contract. I would include people like Pau Gasol, etc. in this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
