100 Highest Career Salary Owners in the NBA History

[addictionary]

Here's the list. Al maybe cutting 15 straight a year, but he's not on this one yet. He needs time.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Where's Chris Paul on this list? Shouldn't he be next to Deron?

With my current salary, I can catch Garnett(assuming he dies right now) just in 25000 years.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

How is Blake Griffin so high? He hasn't even been in the league that long.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Oh, I just figured it out. They are counting the full amount of current contracts. That is why CP3 isn't on the list, because he hasn't signed a long term deal like Dwill has.

 

[BYE]

Durant, who is about to turn 24 in September has already made more than the Mailman, who played until he was like 40. The players' Union has done a good job for them!

Edit: I just saw Cy's post, so this makes it a little better.

I love basketball, hate the NBA. Tax 'em all to poverty.

I think inflation-adjusted numbers would be more interesting.

My thoughts exactly.

That's where the so-called jock tax comes in.

I would love for there to be a 'basketball association' where there was a cap and where salaries were kept under reasonable numbers, but unfortunately the best players will always go to where the pay is the highest, and as long as owners are willing to throw out 15-20 million dollar contracts that should really be going to award winning scientists, the best players will be in the nba. (and we pay the price in ticket prices)

 

[One Brow]

When people stop paying for the ticket price increases, salaries will stop rising.

if that happens, basketball goes the way of hockey.

yeah, the economics have changed a little bit since the early to mid 90s.

which is why you see guys like deron and carlos boozer making 50% more than karl top-3-at-his-position-second-all-time-leading-scorer-played-for-two-decades malone. seems crazy.
