Nene is a top 25 talent getting paid like a top 15. That doesn't seem like a stretch at all.
I bring up Arenas and Johnson because of the league's obsession with guards and will always overpay guards and short-change their PFs and Cs. Take a look at Josh Smith, who is on a ridiculously good deal.
If you're going to overspend, overspend on frontcourt help that's actually very good.
