    Nice list. You could make a case for including even more Knicks, too ... Malik Rose's salary ($6.6 mil) more than doubled his scoring average (3.0 ppg) last year, and Jamal Crawford & Eddie Curry aren't exactly bargains, either.

    Speaking of teams, some of the Golden State signings from the past few years might at least deserve honorable mention:

    Troy Murphy: 4 years, $42 million
    Mike Dunleavy: 4 years, $38 million
    Adonal Foyle: 3 years, $29 million

GM Hammond: Redd is not "untouchable" in trade talks
Milwaukee Bucks Blog - The Bob Boozer Jinx — ... out of the trade market. If Hammond leaks names to be bandied about in trade talks, and the deals fall through, Coach Skiles could be stuck with a situation similar to the one he had last season in Chicago. Bulls GM John Paxson put half the team on the trading block in hopes of acquiring Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant (Kobe's attempt to trade himself), and the resulting bad vibes didn't go away. Simmons' contract ranks as one of the worst in the NBA and every team in the ...
