According to sources, Nene, Chandler and Gasol all set their early asking prices in the neighborhood of maximum-contract territory, starting at $14.8 million for Gasol, $17.7 annually for Nene, and $20.7 million for Chandler. There is plenty of crossover in their respective lists of salary-cap-friendly suitors, with the Nets, Rockets and Warriors appearing to be the hungriest shoppers, and the Pacers and Trail Blazers strolling the big man aisles as well.

I just assume most GMs are stupid, but even I don't think a GM is stupid enough to spend that much on Nene or Chandler.

 

Gasol at 14 mil is overpaying as well, but at least you can make a case that he can improve. Nene and Chandler have pretty much plateaued and I wouldn't give them more than 12 per...and even that might be stretching it.
