    I came across this article on the chronicles.

    I think they screwed up Yao's details with Deke.

    The glaring salary level apart from T-Mac is Brian Cook earning more than Scola for sitting on the bench.

    The NBA really need to change some of their rules when it comes to contracts.

    Apart from Cook and Tmac (since he's injured) all our players are underpaid. We're probably the shrewdest team in the league salary wise.

    wow, does anyone think that any other team in the league can get that kind of production at the PF slot for only $8 million a year?

    Wait until these contracts expire and we'll know how lucky we were to have these guys on our team for so little.

    So the Highest paid Texan has a career total of 14.5 sacks in three seasons which means he is getting more than 1 million per sack in his career. This sounds like Phillip Buchannon all over again.

    WTF, I don't even have a college degree and I make more than half the Dynamo? That's just mind-blowing.
