Evan Roberts was talking about the Derrick Rose fine and said he figured out what the amount would have been if he (Evan) was fined the same proportion of his salary as Rose was.
He said it would be $5,000.
Since Rose is making $21M and the fine was $200,000 that's a little under 1%.
If 1% = $5,000 that puts Evan's salary at around $500,000.
We'd heard Joe Benigno and he make closer to $250K. Still - not bad for guys who could be replaced by a lot of people with no change in ratings. (And who work but 3 hours per day.)
