LMAO Isiah what have you done? That's a ridiculous amount for New York. You'd think with all that money they have been spending they would be winning, huh? Also, C-Webb kills Philly's payroll number, wow.
You'd think with all the money Isiah has been throwing out that the Knicks would be atleast somewhat good...but nope.We're #3...Doesn't bother me...Couldn't ask for a better team than we have now.
That Suns' payroll will be up to about 75 mil. next year. Going to have to trade another couple picks for cash but we will have a pretty good pick from the Hawks. And I learned Sarver isn't as cheap as I thought so I'm feeling good with that number.
Yeah, Webber's contract kills our cap space, but it'll be off the books soon enough, unless of course Billy King's stupidity makes him trade Webber's contract in return for three bad contracts.

Also, does he have a player option?

So, his contract is only on the books for another two seasons I believe (free agent after next season).I found this kind of interesting though... Allen Iverson has an "early termination" option in his contract at the end of this year... whatever that means.

Depends on how things play out. How about Amare + KT + Piatkowski for Garnett? Sarver said through ads and stuff the payroll they can spend went up 20 mil since he took over.
<span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">I already knew Nets were paying an incredible amount. I already knew Knicks were paying a bit too much. I didn't expect Lakers to pay so much. I mean, who else is being paid a lot? Isn't Kobe the only one who matters?</span>
KT may be gone this season regardless if we keep the picks or not. We may draft a young big man, hopefully Joakim isn't a bust. Yeah it went up because they have been pretty successful since he got here. I just hope it'll be enough to keep all these players around but I don't know who I want gone yet, we'll see after the season. I'd love a KT-Amare for Garnett trade. Too bad it's impossible. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Illosophee @ Oct 30 2006, 08:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">I already knew Nets were paying an incredible amount.

Lakers: Kobe 17.7 milGrant: 15.6 milOdom: 12.5 milBrown: 8.3 milVlad Ram: 5.2 milMihm 4.2 milMcKie: 2.5 milThose are their main contracts.Knicks are set up to do well laterRose, Mau Taylor, Shandon Anderson, and Allan Houston are gone, as is Jerome Williams, which totals to around 62 mil alone. So NY is down to about 80 mil after this season.
