Poor Little Rich Boys
So, the Blazers need some money. Here’s a thought. Ask the players to pony up some of the cash.
Estimated Blazer salaries rounded down:
Blake = $1,000,000
Dixon = $2,500,000
Jack = $1,000,000
Khryapa = $1,000,000
Lenard = $3,500,000
Miles = $7,000,000
Outlaw = $900,000
Przybilla = $1,500,000
Randolph = $10,000,000
Ratliff = $11,000,000
Seung-Jin = $600,000
Skinner = $4,900,000
Telfair = $1,600,000
Webster = $2,500,000
Total = $47,100,000
That seems to be a lot of money and considering that every other day you read something about the Blazers having no work ethic, why not have them pay something back? It seems fair to me. If the Blazers aren’t going to perform on the court why don’t they do something to help off the court?
Amen — I completely agree!
Another stat that should be added to that list is:
How much has McMillian spent on Advil thus far in the season dealing with all these youngsters and superstar egos? I wonder if he ever asks himself, “Man Seattle’s looking pretty good right now.”
