Ouch. Proof positive that its not always how much you spend, but how you spend what you've got. Smart shopping is key to success in the salary cap era. The Pistons are paying about 1.3 million per win. And the Knicks? They're paying more than $8 million per victory. Fascinating.

The Knicks didn't really originally spend all that money...they just acquired it through some of the most horrific trades a GM could make.

Marbury, Malik Rose, Jalen Rose, Mo Taylor and now Francis

They did sign Crawford, James and Curry to silly contracts

The Knicks are like incompetent loan sharks.
