Taking only the contracts given out post CBA, please explain to me how the current DPOY is overpaid.

Because the rest of those guys are probably overpaid as well? (except maybe Gasol...)
Using a mere FOUR contracts signed by mediocre front offices such as the Knicks, Clippers, Grizzlies and Nuggets (traded to the Wizards within months of the ink drying) is a pretty flimsy sample size to determine what an NBA center is worth under the new CBA.
$13.8M is almost 25% of your cap space, and the new rules call for extremely steep penalties against luxury tax payers. So you're essentially talking about paying a third/fourth-best guy on your team "franchise player" money... I just don't see that as a formula for success in this new fiscal landscape.
