Did they all sign those contracts this year? Wow. I was unaware of this.

Good job. You got me.

They must have been tanking last year too.

It's cool. I did all that by clicking the original link I gave you, then filtering it by year. It's cool to do that sometimes.

Damn. Kobe needs a raise.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Damn. Kobe needs a raise.

If anything he needs the HC/GM jobs and 30% ownership of the Lakers.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Damn. K*be needs to get the players to vote Stern a raise.

FIFM.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I feel bad now for mocking the players that said they couldn't afford to feed their families

Dude a million bucks in the 80's is a shit ton of money!
