    Are you re ed?

    Arbitrary: based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

    Comparing his salary and production to the "going rate" is not "random choice or personal whim." it's actually standard practice. That's how salaries are determined. As a psychology major, I don't expect you to actually understand what I'm trying to say.
    You know so little about the word arbitrary you just went to an internet dictionary to try to make your case for you and even that definition doesn't help you. But if it makes you feel better then, fine. Your system isn't arbitrary. Your system is great. Your a master wordsmith as well as a far superior judge of NBA talent then me.

    PS I'm not a major and my degree isn't in psychology.

    You don't get a degree in a subject. You get a major in one. You get a degree from a school within your university.

    I guess I'll have to return my degree that states the exact opposite of what you just said.

    I'm trying to break it down for you because you're obviously having trouble with the basics.

    Determining the worth of his production by comparing to other players with similar production and salaries, makes no sense to you.

    You prefer to determine the worth of his production, for the remainder of his contract, based on how well he plays defense the rest of this series?

    Probably. I had three majors in college, but only one degree. Same school awards duel degrees, but they have to come from different schools. It's more likely that you're misreading it or misunderstanding it.

    Um, you're using arbitrary criteria to determine whether or not he's worthy of the contract as well. Don't use words you don't know the meaning of.

    Anyway, Tiago has so far proven me wrong. But if he disappears, then I won't have been wrong. I'd obviously rather be wrong at this point. If you think me saying this makes me a pussy, or this is me "hedging my bets" (wtf did I bet exactly?), or being GNSFlike then great. The s I give amount to 10 million less than Tiago's contract.
    It's not arbitrary. It's exactly how contract negotiations work. What's the best way to get a raise? It's not to stay within the company and put your head down. It's to get a competing offer that you can use as leverage. That's your market value. That's how NBA negotiations work also. They heard that Portland was going to offer him X mil a year, so they had to offer him more.

    If the Spurs could have paid Tiago less, they would have.

    He thinks that's "my system" for determining player value.

    Yeah, probably. Wouldn't surprise me. It could also be convention for your school to print it that way, even though it's technically incorrect. Or maybe you went to a college and not a university. Which school did you go to? It's probably not hard to find a picture of a diploma online to compare.

    All right. Provided you weren't lying for no reason, here's a diploma from the University of Phoenix:

    http://www.ripoffreport.com/d/r10658...OP_diploma.jpg

    The degree is from the Axia College (whatever that is) and the major is Business. Contrast it with this one:

    https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=...99524711897239

    This one makes it clear what the degree means and what the majors are.

    Of course I'm lying. I tried but I couldn't get into to the University of Phoenix. I ended up going to Devry.
