Kobe with a 48.5 mil 2 year extension. Highest paid in 2014-15 and possibly 2015-16.

1. Kobe
2. Amare
3. Joe Johnson

I wonder who is paying Gilbert Arenas final two years, cos that'll be right up there too.

http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-11-25/sports/35512386_1_president-ernie-grunfeld-wizards-gilbert-arenas

Doesn't say who owns the contract, but looks like wizards dealt it to orlando.

he got waived by orlando, which means his contract didnt come under the books for tax purposes, and then utilise the 'stretch provision', whihc means... pay the remainder out of the next few years ( not sure how that works)
so by taht ruling, Orlando own it until paid out which is.. who knows? Can a player get money from one contract whilst still earning from another? Cause gilbert then played for memphis... so who knows.

but chances are, is that the owner of the wizards said to the owner of the magic,.... "take gilbert off ur hands, and ill buy any dodgy assets that you own (houses, companies etc) equivilant to the same amount"
and the magic owner woulda said "take rashard lewis off my hands as well, and u have a deal"

.........and thats how capitalism works.

Very well thought out. Arenas did play in China last season though.

I wonder why Steph Curry is not a max contract player? Him and Iggy are only on about 10-11 mil per season.

possibly because of his injury history?

Curry signed an extension after the 11-12 season - which he played bugger all games in due to injury. That would be why.

He also hadn't really "broken out" at that point (at least in regards to being acknowledged to be so around the nba), so I think it makes perfect sense.

its weird though? why say hit me. and Tyshawn i didnt think would have had enough time to know what JK was meaning when he said 'hit me'. and the ref was right there as well.

So i dunno? Maybe he did say 'hit me' but maybe he meant in a context that only those black guys who are white know how to understand.

i thought it was funny afterwards, the Nets Assistant was giving a quick tactics update, and Steve Blake was in the huddle. funny stuff.
