I was just looking over some of the salary projections for teams on Hoopshype and some numbers stuck out to me. It seems like there are quite a few bad contracts that actually top the $10M mark in 2009/2010. I only picked those categories because they were round numbers.
Also, this is just a very quick list and I've left off a number of players that you could argue also belong on this "do not deserve" list. So just take this as a scattershot to make a point. And what is the point? I'm not sure really. Just made me all that much more appreciative of the $4.2M Kendrick Perkins will earn that season. Here's the list I came up with:
Shaq $20M
Ben Wallace $14M
Kenyon Martin $15.3M
Larry Hughes $13.6M
Brad Miller $12.2M
Troy Murphy $11M
Erick Dampier $10.1M
Nene $10.5M
Adonal Foyle $10.5
Bobby Simmons $10.5
