I remember when a player had to be better than mediocre to get this kind of money. Can you imagine what Elvin Hayes or Dave DeBuschure would have got paid today?

Big men, particularly marginal big men, have been monstorously overpaid for the past six or seven years now. I have always been a fan of Nene when he is healthy, bu he seldom is and has done nothing too warrant this kind of money. Reportedy Denver is going after Iverson, they better hope they can dump Kenyon Martin onto someone in the process, otherwise they will be stuck with a Knicks-esque roster (albeit no account for success, but an enormous payroll none the less).
