    Inspired by the Jeremy Lin GQ thread where Kevin Martin said he was the only one with custom suits on the team, I was curious to see the total career earnings of the Rockets as currently composed:

    Code:
    Kevin Martin		$46,180,791 	
    Shaun Livingston	$21,835,964 		
    Carlos Delfino		$15,277,037 	
    Patrick Patterson	$3,783,240 		
    Omer Asik		$3,578,500 	
    Toney Douglas		$3,212,880 	
    Jon Brockman		$2,457,588 	
    Gary Forbes		$1,973,604 	
    Marcus Morris		$1,823,280 	
    Jeremy Lin		$1,235,799 	
    JaJuan Johnson		$1,042,320 	
    Chandler Parsons	$850,000 		
    Greg Smith		$301,733 	
    Total			$103,552,736 
    
    Definitely makes you realize just how young the team is, and really emphasizes how Daryl sees that treading water with an expensive, veteran-laden team is the single worst place you can be in. Also makes me hate the Delfino signing a tiny bit less; with this kind of roster there's going to be a lot of guys gunning for theirs in hopes of a big contract, it's probably good to have a veteran role player that can tell them the right way to get a second career deal.

    Preseason statistical nugget: Marcus Morris leads all Rockets in fly suits/career earnings.
    Preseason statistical nugget #2: He's gonna need those suits when he's racking up DNP-CDs this year.

    Very nice. What was your source for this info? It'd be interesting to see what the career earnings of some of the contenders are, specifically the Lakers, Heat, and Celtics.

    And Rashard Lewis has made more than all of them combined.

    Yes, seriously. Rashard has made close to 120 million in his career.

    That's no good - then we'll see a lot of our players defect to Russia if they get offered more money over there!
