Where oh where did that $10-15 MM go? (And weren't some saying he'd get even more?) On Media Day of last season: “I’m ready to get paid,” Cauley-Stein told NBC Sports California. “This is what we’ve got to do, that’s what type of focus I’m on." Turns out his big pay day is around $2M, a large hair cut from his $4.7M he got from the Kings last year.
These talking heads can say whatever stupid thing they say. The guys that dole out the millions do their research, and their research has determined what Willie Cauley Stein is worth - just above the minimum.
