    I was just trying to see who was coming off the books when and noticed that...

    Charlie Ward makes more than Tyronn Lue.
    Bobby Sura makes more than Jimmy Jackson.
    Dikembe Mutombo makes more than Yao Ming.
    Clarence Weatherspoon makes more than Juwan Howard.

    And Mo Taylor makes more than all of the above.

    {Tracy McGrady makes more than anyone on the Rocks.}

    Amazing that only 1 starter makes more than his backup.

    And all of these guys make more than 99% of most people to play a stupid game.

    Ehhh. They all make HUGE salaries anyway. Some just had better agents or timing than others.

    Besides, don't Shaq and KG each make twice what T-Mac makes?

    Where did you see these numbers Art? I've been trying to figure out what the Ward & Sura contract were for a while.

    I think Ward will start, so that would mean 2 starters make more than their backup.

    I should have stated that it was off the salary comparison off realgm - which isn't the exact amount but close annual average. I understand Yao since he's on rookie scale, but are we getting deals on our starters like JJ or are we paying too much for backups?

    J.Howard = deal
    J.Jackson = deal
    Y.Ming = helluva deal (for now)
    McGrady = fair
    Lue/Ward = ???
