Those Cali taxes tho

 

[BBert]

Jeremy Lin is on that list LOL.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We need to get on that Florida and Texas tax plan lol

 

[Denny Crane]

Carlos Boozer isn't on the list. He is making $16M+ this season.

If it were per minute played Greg Oden has probably made more per minute than any player in history

That might belong to Brandon Roy... If you count his max deal he barely played on and the 5 million the Pups gave him.

Don't forget Gilbert Arenas, who still is getting paid this year I believe.

Nope, Oden "wins".

Oden career earnings/minutes played = $24,322,868/2028 = $11,993.52/minute

Roy career earnings/minutes played = $99,660,056/11561 = $8620.37/minute

But, if you just look at the last year of their careers, Roy totally screwed over Minnesota:

Roy final season in MIN = $5,100,000/122 = $41,803.28/minute

At least we got a few winning seasons and three trips to the playoffs for overpaying Roy. Minnesota basically got 122 minutes of nothing.

Compared to Roy's last year in Minnesota Oden was a relative bargain his last year in Miami.

Oden final season in MIA = $1,027,424/212 = $4846.34/minute

Repped, great math.

Jeremy Lin is on that list LOL.

He and Asik are there since they had contracts that were backloaded to screw their former teams if they matched.

Repped again for good math and attention to detail
