Aside from his leadership skills which he provides on and off the court? What do you think should his salary be?

Jason has not been the same player since his knee surgery in 2004. His play is much less consistent so no, I don't think he is worth all that money. I'm not saying he shouldn't be payed $10 million a year but $15-$20 million is a bit much. Carter doesn't even get as much. If Kidd's salary was lower, there would be more cap room to get a decent backup point guard.

maybe he doesnt deserve 15-20 million but he certainly isn't among the most overpaid.
Penny, Brian Grant, Tim Thomas (was for bulls, but now he seems ok for suns)

He's still on rookie contract. That's not underpayment, that's a rule. Plus, I don't think he'll complain about his salary when his Nike endorsement is $100+ million.

Re: Nba player that is most overapid
Theo Ratliff.
I think Rashard Lewis is one of the most overpaid players for a "star".
And how can we forget Tariq Adbul Wahad who has gotten $5M a year for the last 4-5 years for not playing?

You have no idea what you are talking about. Kidd is the best player on a team with Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. Few objective, knowledgable observers would claim he's less than a top five point guard.
And by midseason last year he had completely recovered from his knee surgery.
I'd agree you could find better value for a max contract player (Duncan, etc.). But Kidd does not belong in this thread.

Pretty much all players are overpaid.
