Ok, ready?
Team Payrolls:
1. New York Knicks $103,597,539
2. Dallas Mavericks $89,542,488
3. Portland Trail Blazers $77,660,996
4. Philadelphia 76ers $69,020,615

17. Detroit Pistons $51,788,658

Hmm...
Random Knick Player Salarys
3. Allan Houston $17,531,250
7. Anfernee Hardaway $14,625,000
7. Stephon Marbury $14,625,000
24. Tim Thomas $12,900,000
-Shandon Anderson $7,300,000
To put that in some perspective:
Allan Houston is earning more money this season than: Kevin Garnett and Jason Kidd. Houston and Hardaway both make more money than Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Michael Finley, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, TIM DUNCAN, and Kobe Bryant. Those two and Tim Thomas all make more than Vince Carter, DIRK NOWITZKI, and Paul Pierce.
So hate me, but I just can't like a team that spends money that poorly.
