Worst NBA salaries

Some players just don't seem to pan out. Never the less, some of these players are still gettin paid...and will be for years to come. Some players are on the tail end of a good career, but are just a terrible bang for your buck at this point. This section will highlite those players who just...aren't worth the money. After crunching the numbers, I was left with a difficult decision. Injured or not...you're not worth it!!!


Christian:

5. Adonal Foyle - $8, 937,500: Well, what can I said that hasn't already been said about this guy. The answer is anything. Most people probably don't even know Adonal, but the Warriors faithful would be quick to jump on ya for not knowing Erick Dampier's former backup. He's a dsub-par rebounder and shot blocker, not very athletic...but cuz, you're getting Josh Howard money!!


4. Raef Lafrentz - $11, 813, 750:Thanks for all the memories Raef! Congratulations...you just beat out Kwame Brown..you ham. HAHA you're career highlight was catching an elbow pass...in a game that was meaningless. A Kansas prodigy, turned NBA bench staple-Lafrentz is posted up gettin some cheddar, for little to no work. I was never a big fan of his game..but sadly, someone thought enough of him to really fork out some scrills.....Wooooops

(Right: Raef getting one of his 56 rebounds this year)






3. Bobby Simmons - $9,280,000: You say to yourself, "You must be joking!!"...Oh no my friend, Bobby's salary is all too real. Five years into his career, and I'm just not seeing it. A 40% shooter, averaging 7 ppg this year, Bobby is a centerpiece in the future of the Bucks! Once again, I'm not joking (sigh).



2. Stephon Marbury - $20,109,375 Imagine that....the Knicks signing a bad contract. I could write a blurb to support this placing, but I don't feel like writing a thesis (stay tuned for a future spotlight). Stephon is hurt right now and I'm sure he's happy about it. I have a feeling he'll get healthy as soon as Isiah gets the boot...


1. Steve Francis - $16,440,000: "The Franchise" gets this designation because, between me and him, its personal. Ever since he denied the Vancouver fans, I've had this vendetta. After tredging through an up and down career, filled with 3 All Star appearances, dissapointment and injury, Stevie is once again "rehabilitating". Please do everyone a favor and just retire. You are getting superstar money, when you should be getting fallingstar money.....God I hated your Orlando Magic years.
