    I honestly think Allan Houston might be paid a little bit more than he is worth but he still is a good player and the best on the Knicks. I dont see waht he gets so much flack. He just needs a front line and he will be more effective. I guess McDyess should help now.
    I think Kemp and Reeves are big busts. Penny is the one that seems to still get comments that he will be an all star every year, and he isnt

    notice how portland has 3 of those guys.

    they are pretty damn desperate to get a championship team...but they gotta realize that the old and fat (pippen/kemp) won't ever bring them one. just wait until the actual star players on portland want their $...such as bonzi and sheed.

    Portland represents every thing that is wrong in pro sports.
    They are a dispicable franchise. They pay whatever it takes to get them and its not just that, they pay all the lowlifes. They are a team of overpaid assholes that shouldnt even be in the NBA. Granted Derek Anderson might be the exception.
    Hell, i think its fitting they just drafted Qyntel Woods.

    #1 is Shawn Kemp b/c he plays so little but #2 goes to KG. He's the highest paid player in the NBA at 27mil and he can't get his team out of the 1st round. Why? Because he takes up half the salary cap by himself so they can't get/keep any other good players, not to mention solid role players that are essential for a title contender.

    Garnett is overpaid, but don't be an ******* about it. he's way more worth his buck than most every player on that list.

    Where's Brian Grant? and Zo?

    Tom Gugliotta. Glen Rice.

    Another question : is Karl Malone still worth 20+ mil? (Is is 26?) Is D.Robinson still worth his check? How about Gary Payton? What's Reggie Miller making? Any monster contract is going to be hard to live up to these days.

    How am I being an ahole? He's the highest paid player in the game and he thinks he's "underpayed". Yes he's more talented than the other players on that list but he does nothing to help the team become a title contender and he hinders the team like the others. Are the TWolves any closer to the title than the Blazers? No. Paying a player 27mil while he's asking for an extension that will pay him 35mil a season just to get you into the 1st round every year makes for one overpaid player.
