    Nah, that's Bert Kolde, who Larry Miller went out of his way to grovel about on the radio yesterday. Take it up with Paul Allen? Talk to Paul about getting a new monitor. :)

    His plane landed around 7:45PM! Wonder if they took him to a Turkish restaurant?

    Didn't Kevin Garnett get a huge deal as a draft pick? I mean there's a reason they implemented the rookie wage scale, it was meant to save stupid owners from themselves and handing out huge sums of money to unproven players and the veteran players in the union demanded the change.

    Most sophmores are still on there rookie contract since they have more years than 1 year with the team they go to. Undrafted rookies don't usually have an impact.

    Is he? I remember before the rookie scale some idiotic 1st pick (it was Glenn Robinson, I remember now) was talking about a 1st contract of $100 million. He ended up getting $68 mil. Needless to say the owners (and probably the vets, too) had enough of that. I don't remember how many years that was for, but it's possible it was more.

    edit: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n3_v87/ai_15969360/
    it was a 10-year, $68 Mil contract, so the 2nd year salary was definitely less than $9 mil. - never mind!

    He made 3.7 Million his second year according to BBR.

    Anyways, I don't think anyone can top Matthews's 9+ Million.
