The Economically Efficient NBA Team | HOOPSWORLD.com | NBA News and Information: "In theory, above-max players and players on rookie contracts are the only players in the league that should be underpaid. Everyone else should be bid up to market in free agency. Quite obviously, that's not realistic. Players are overpaid or underpaid for any number of reasons. Injuries are a huge one.

Zito didn't pick the wrong sport, as he'll be making up for lost salary time when he hits the free-agent market in a couple of years, but, for the time being, his loss is the A's gain. "
