    Check out this link from USA Today. You can search by team, players last name for the last 4 seasons. I chose the Rockets, year 2004-05.

    I didn't realize Wesley was also coming into the last year of his contract like Spoon. I think he is our most valuable trade asset and will not be with us in training camp. If we get something of value for Spoon during the summer, great. I still think we are stuck with him (and Baker) until the trade deadline.

    Gatorfan76, you don't remember when Moochie and the Rox had a long impasse in negotiations before the team eventually gave in? During the impasse, I remember SF publicly supporting Moochie getting all he could and how he wanted him on the team. (Sometimes I wonder if he influenced management to get it done. Either way, it all falls on Rudy & Les). After the signing, callers into the talk shows ripped the Rox up and down for being so stupid! I don't remember one person who supported them.

    I dont believe Allan Huston is making $17,531,250 and he is earning more mnoey than other better players like: Garnett, Duncan, Yao, Mcgrady, Iverson, etc. :eek:

    phoenix = efficiency. ~$35.2 mil total payroll (rockets = ~$57.7 mil) and in the conference finals. but then again, they have about 5 or 6 real players to pay. but still....whatever works.

    I remember that but I guess I didn't realize it was for that much and that long of a contract...:eek:

    I'm so glad their contracts are almost done

    They have quality players still on a rookie wage scale. Wait until Joe Johnson and Amare get their bank and comback to us with those numbers!

    And I don't know how they can list Nash as having a salary of $5,750,000. 6 years at $66 million doesn't add up to a starting salary under $6 mill. At least not in the NBA, where the raises max out at 12.5%.

    I think Hoopshype's number of $8,750,000 for Nash this year as much more realistic.

    And what is our biggest personnel issue?

    Yao Ming is the ONLY Houston Rocket who is playing under a rookie contract.

    Rookie contracts are the only cost-effective way to get athleticism and depth.

    The good news is we don't have any real long-term albatross contracts. Thank you, Isiah Thomas!
