I was going over the worst contract thread and the other threads mentioning on how so many players are overpaid....it got me thinking: Which players have the best contracts? Not counting ROOKIE CONTRACTS, from the top of my head, i couldn't think of 5 players, or at least 5 notable players.
going through some of the salaries, here's what i came up with: (off of hoopshype)
Kyle Korver- 6yrs/~25mil
Steven Hunter- 5yrs/15mil
Morris Peterson- 2yrs/~9mil
Matt Bonner- 2yrs/4mil
Andres Nocioni- 2yrs/~5.7mil
Chris Duhon- 3yrs/~12mil
Chauncey Billups- 2yrs/~12 mil
Stephen Jackson- 5yrs/full MLE
Anthony Johnson- 3yrs/~7.8mil
Zaza Pachulia- 3yrs/12mil
Gerald Wallace- 3rs/~16mil
Alonzo Mourning- (Just what Miami's paying)- 1yr/1.14mil
hedo Turkoglu- 4yrs/MLE
Rafer Alston- 5yrs/22mil
Shane Battier- 6yrs?~MLE
Michael Finley- 3yrs/8.7mil
Earl Boykins- 3yrs/~7.5 mil
Ricky Davis- 3yrs/~MLE
Rashard Lewis- 2yrs/~18mil
Corey Maggette- 4yrs/30mil
Tim Thomas- 1yr/389k
Ron Artest- 3yrs/21.45 mil
Mike James- 1yr/3.410

Kyle Korver's contract isn't exactly one of the best ones out there. And I would like to add Haslem to that list. He's a quality starting PF who doesn't need the ball often to be effective on offense and can provide good things on the defensive end, all that and more for only MLE.

I thought my head was spinning when I saw Korver on that best contract list. Good thing VanK pointed that one out, made me regain my senses again.

Whats Earl Boykins doing on your list? He gets 1.5 M per year, and I think thats perfect for a 6th man with 13 PPG and 4 APG!

Add Peja to that list. I'm not sure how much it is exactly, but it's in the Artest range.

Udonis Haslem is the shit, he pwns you and your mother.

Zaza Pachulia. Very solid rebounder for a low cost. If only Toronto had a player like that....
Rafer Alston- 5yrs/22mil
I'm not a huge fan of Alston's contract. It seems a tad big for someone who hasn't been playing too well for the Rockets.

ben wallace has a good one too... not sure if it started in the last 3 years though

Whatever's Qyntel Woods is getting from NY is good.

i think anytime you can get a starter caliber player who's relatively young to sign for less then the mid-level exception, it's a good contract.
Peja and Haslem are good additions

Al harrington is underpaid for what the numbers hes putting up.
