    Lewis makes Alan Houston, Tim Thomas and Eric Dampier look like reasonable signings.

    You think both are overpaid?? It wasn't too long ago when Todd McCullough, Matt Geiger, Adonal Foyle, and Jim McIllvane were taking teams to the bank.

    $5 mil a year for Darko isn't bad considering he was playing pretty well in his role in Minny. 5/$32 mil for Gooden isn't bad either considering he averaged close to 15/10 for the Clips last season.

    I think these teams should be more worried about the contract length than the amount. Big men get paid extra for being big. But, signing a 5 year contract is a big risk if/when their production goes down from their currently mediocre level.
