Most Overpaid NBAers....... - Anhil8tor - 11-05-2004

1. The Knicks' wing men. It's impossible to choose the biggest cap killer from a group that includes Allan Houston ($17.5 million per year), Tim Thomas ($13 million), Penny Hardaway ($14.6 million), Shandon Anderson ($7.3 million) and Jamal Crawford ($5.6 million). That's $58 million, and Anderson is the only player among them who can defend his own lunchbox.


2. Damon Stoudamire, Trail Blazers. Last year was a renaissance for Stoudamire, who averaged 13.4 points and 6.1 assists. But credible numbers can't justify Stoudamire's payout. He is the final major mistake left on the payroll left by ex-team prez Bob Whitsitt, and what a mistake it has been: Stoudamire will pull in $15.7 million this year, the last of a seven-year, $81 million deal.


3. Austin Croshere, Pacers. One of the offshoots of Al Harrington's trade to Atlanta is that Croshere could get more minutes backing up Jermaine O'Neal. He's a good shooter who creates matchup problems and could be a valuable reserve. Unfortunately, the Pacers are paying him $8.3 million this season, far more than he is worth.


4. Michael Stewart, Celtics. Stewart will make $4.8 million this year, despite totals of 13 points, 29 rebounds and zero assists last season. That's $114,285 for each point, rebound and assist Stewart amassed last season. He is one of the finest examples of what happens when a center with a pulse presents himself to overeager general managers. Stewart was awarded a six-year, $24 million deal by the Raptors in 1999 after averaging 3.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in two seasons.


5. Eddie Robinson, Bulls. This was one of the more sinister gifts left to the current Bulls regime by former general manager Jerry Krause. Robinson, who averaged 7.2 points in two seasons with the Hornets, was given a five-year, $31 million contract by Krause and scarcely put in a full day's work thereafter. When Robinson wasn't injured, he only got on the court long enough to prove his shooting range is anything from a dunk in. But luckily, the Bulls were able to rid themselves of this burden earlier this week when they bought out Robinson's contract for $10 million, making him a free agent again and ultimately someone else's problem.
