    Article though makes it clear that it is based on last year's salary and numbers. It is confusing though because at the bottom it says "Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Cavaliers", but on Brad Miller it says Rockets when it should say Bulls (and same for Jermaine O'Neal -- says Celtics when it should read Heat).

    Miller made $12 million last year off the bench for Chicago.

    It's not written by a Yahoo sports writer. It's a Forbes article.

    The Woj is pretty on the money, but the whole BDL section is heavily flawed.

    Actually it shows you didn't even read the article; it specifically says 2009-2010 season.

    And yet, said Brad Miller is of the Rockets, hence the credibility argument. Read Clutch's post.

    I read the article, just didn't realize it was a forbes article. But if yahoo put it on their website their sports writers should of atleast proof read it.

    Aren't 99% of all centers paid way above their production anyways?

    Decent centers are hard to come by so when one comes, teams freak out and throw G's on their g-strings.

    Its more like a 2 year deal + 5 million trade exception in year 3, right?

    Better than that. Miller's final year salary can be combined with other player salaries for matching purposes.

    Out of all those players, most of them were worth the money the first few years of the contract (O'Neal, Z, Miller, Brand) but have declined in the latter years of the contract so it's not really fair since all contracts are back-loaded.

    Rashard Lewis is the only guy mentioned who has never lived up to his contract.
