*cough* Carmelo *cough* There's a reason Carmelo has never taken his game to an elite level. He's a selfish player who can jack up 30 shots to get 30 points so he can keep his scoring average up. The Pacers have figured that out and will let him keep shooting as long as the rest of the Knicks don't beat them.
Why would the Dolphins pay Reggie more? Only if they are the Bears. RBs are NOT the position that should get paid any more. Teams that overpay for a RB end up like the Bears with no offensive line. The best RB in the NFL, Adrian Peterson, could barely get his team to the playoffs.
The RB position takes the most pounding and has the shortest life span. Ask the Atlanta Falcons about Michael Turner. Ask the Titans about Chris Johnson after he got paid. Ask those very same Bears after having Matt Forte on the bench for stretches at times due to injury.
Bush should be reasonable and accept a deal with a slight raise at the most. The Dolphins would be stupid to give him more. They still need to find their franchise QB. Until then, they have no business overpaying for a 28 year old RB. Remember, 30 is the magical peak for RBs. It is all downhill after that.
