Darrell Arthur is not good. He gets sooooo overrated on some forums b/c he started some games for a bad team. He posted an 11.3 PER, and his 5.1 fouls per 36 minutes means that even his mediocre 10/8 per 36 minutes average isn't credible-- he couldn't stay on the court long enough to put up 10/8...

Wow. I approach that question completely differently. IF Amare could be relied upon, health-wise, then I would much rather have him at twice the salary. This is a stars' league. It's usually a lot more valuable to have one really excellent player, a guy who can carry the team reliably, than two...
