Those rankings are pretty dodgy, they were a last-minute addition and I wouldn't read too much into them. I put Hill first because it cost two men their jobs and because they needlessly gave up Ben Wallace and Atkins just to give Grant a 3-4 million more up front -- and because, in good faith, Orlando waived a physical.
Raefer and Allan Houston would be good mentions. I agree that dumping on Hill's contract is a little unfair. At least it was insured. How about LJ's last contract? Good article. Evan
Yep. Required surgery, still played on it since Detroit made the playoffs, and the rest is history. The trick was, no one had any idea at the time that it would be that bad. Orlando looked like they hit the jackpot for bringing him in. The whole summer, the big joke was about Tracy McGrady referring to himself as a superstar when he was going to be Hill's sidekick. Rivers even got laughed at for calling McGrady Pippen with a better offensive game. Evan
