NBA salaries available on SI.com

SI.com is trumpeting that it has every NBA team and every player's salary, available here.

Some interesting factoids I found, and I'm sure there are others:
- The Knicks are spending a lot of money to suck;
- Dallas is paying Michael Finley an awful lot of money NOT to play for them;
- Two-time MVP Steve Nash is only the 44th highest-paid player in the league.

Shawn Bradley is still being paid 5mil by Dallas, what a joke.

If I'm Dallas, I'm asking YouTube to contribute to Bradley's salary: how many downloads and pageviews would YouTube have had of that montage of Bradley getting dunked on?

is there anything similar for NBL that shows what players earn?

No, definitely not.

The closest thing would be the listing of points values which can give a loose indication of value, but doesn't necessarily cover all instances accurately.

Just suprises me a bit Isaac - I know there are privacy issues etc etc, but normally they are pretty hot on privacy in the US too aren't they?

Could relate to differences in scale. A lot of NBL players aren't really earning a tonne of money.

NBL players earn between 35,000 and 160,000. Maybe the NBL are embarrased about the players low salries.

Luke Schenscher still paid $55K by the Bulls this season (or is it last season?).

The Knicks are terrible. There's almost $72 million wrapped up in average players Q-Rich, Crawford, Curry, Francis, Starbury and James. That doesn't include Jerome Williams, Malik Rose, Jalen Rose ($14 million to play for Phoenix), Shandon Anderson ($7 million to do nothing) or Maurice Taylor ($7 million to play for Sacramento).

We need to start the campaign again. Jail Isaiah.



Head over to Yaysports and select the Isaiah Thomas section if you need a real laugh about the Knicks. They are baaaaaaad.
