    Those are last years salaries Anti.

    Thats Jayson from the Nets not the Kings.
    He was a rebounding machine and he signed that contract well before he had the injury problems.

    The Blazers are over the cap, but Paul Allen doesn't even blink. He doesn't mind paying the luxury tax, as long as the Blazers win the championship.

    Rocket River: It tends to be more, as there's the DL and waived players too.

    Oh crap, I'm gonna be sick...

    I just added up how much I would save over the next 30-freakin-years from Roth IRAs ($4K/year), 401k ($12K/year) and savings ($30K/year) assuming a 12% annual return on investment.

    Scottie Pippen made more last year.

    I wonder what my $500K life insurance policy says about suicide. [​IMG]

    Basing this on performance only...


    But if you think Ewing, Wallace, and Kemp are overpaid. Then you have to throw Hakeem out there to.

    shake,

    If you take that line of thinking, he was way underpaid in his prime.

    That would be a fair assesment, but so were alot of players. To Include Scottie Pippen.
