NBA Playoffs (Eastern Conference) Addendum

I thought this link was awesome. High Comedy.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Isaiah Thomas. Add to these hilarious figures the fact the Knicks are still paying Millions to players who are no longer on their team (such as Jalen Rose, GO BLUE!!!) and it becomes dowright hysterical.

I wish Isaiah or Billy King were salary negotiators at my law firm. I would have a seven figure salary, a yacht and a cabin in Aspen. One can dare to dream.

On the other hand, check this out.

There are only a few here that are out of whack (Harpring, Collins, Hart), and these are only slightly out of whack, not significant. Collins is out of whack only because he should be flipping burgers or doing something else with that Stanford degree rather than playing in the NBA. Harp brings so much to the table (missed layups aside) and provides one player that will never be in Jerry's doghouse, so he is at least close to worth it.

On second thought, the Artist Formerly Known as Andrei Kirilenko is out of whack. And we lucked out that D Fish opportunistically bailed to LA, if for no other reason than it forced Jerry to play Ronnie Brewer (who voila! is an extremely effective slasher).

I am a little concerned by the mere fact the Jazz have Scott Layden on their bench. I am afraid that Knick cooties will infect the team. I think we need to spray his chair with Lysol every night.

Hey, if anyone is worth 20 mil., its Starbury. He will always keep you in the headlines. And you are crazy if you don't think AK47 is overpaid.
