Wow, the Knicks are spending a heck lot of money to be in second to last place. Is Isiah calling all the shots? They have a lot of work to do this summer...maybe he should hire Joe Dumars

The Spurs, Pistons, Suns organizations on the other hand do a great job in managing their teams with lots less cash.

IMHO Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway are wayyy up in this list. I'd let them both go and with the salary of Allen Houston next year, the Knicks should have a lot of money to rebuilt the team.

Nowitzki, Gasol, Kirilenko Nash and Peja are low. Do you think the fact that these guys are internationals have anything to do with their salary? I mean Nash back to back MVP making $9kk would you ever have seen KG, Allen I, Shaq, K. Malone, Tim Duncan make this kind of money.... of course not (I did not include Jordan, Magic or Bird cause I think it is unfair)

13. Keith Van Horn (Dal) ......... $15,694,250

Oh my god.

Of the top 40 guys, KVH has got to be the worst as far as the player/efficiency ratio goes.

I know....and he is higher than Nowitzki and it is not even close the weight on Nowitzki on Dallas. If Nowitzki leaves Dallas, it will be very bad for the team. If Van Horn leaves, nothing happens...except that they have more money for Dirk
