Jon Koncak, Atlanta Hawks.The Damage: six years, 13 million dollars. The Legacy: Believe it ornot, the Hawks haven't always been the NBA's biggest joke.
There was a time when Atlanta didn't have to throw free Hammer concertsto draw fans. And there was a time when Atlanta's owners didn'tinterfere with trades or draft picks.
Bryant Reeves, Vancouver Grizzlies. The Damage:six years, 66 million dollars. The Legacy: Good teams make smartdecisions, while bad teams make terrible decisions. For example, theVancouver Grizzlies, the worst team in NBA history, gave Bryant Reevesa 66 million dollar contract extension.
Jim McIlvaine The Damage: 5 years, 35 milliondollars. The Legacy: Jim McIlvaine destroyed the Seattle Sonics. Who?Jim McIlvaine! His contract set off events that destroyed the greatSonic teams of the 1990's.
Juwan Howard: 108 million dollars Howard hasn't done much since scoring a huge deal with the Bullets/Wizards in 1996. There's always Michigan.Keith Van Horn: "Max Contract " He was the NBA's version of Where isWaldo? Van Horn did time in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, New York, NewJersey and Dallas. He's now out of the NBA.
Raef LaFrentz: 63 million dollars Dan Isseltortured him in Denver. Of course, Dallas gave LaFrentz 63 milliondollars even though he didn't fit in with former Mavs' Coach DonNelson. He's apparently in Portland, but I didn't see him last year.
Anfernee Hardaway: 87 million dollars Phoenix gavehim a monster deal based on his years in Orlando. Penny did nothing inthe desert before ending up in New York. Whatever happened to those LilPenny commercials? Yogi Stewart: 24 million dollars Erick Dampier: 63million dollars 'Damp' had some decent years in Golden State. Dallasgave him 63 million dollars. The Mavs and Mark Cuban should ask for arefund. Allan Houston: 100 million dollars After inking a mega-dealwith the Knicks, Houston injured his knee. The fan favorite was never the same and retired a few years ago. Apparently, the formersharp-shooter is scheming on a comeback. Brian Cardinal: 37 milliondollars He makes nice money for a 12th man.
Cardinal's contract wasn't one of Jerry West's finer moments. Even TheLogo makes mistakes-just don't tell Kobe Bryant! Howard Eisley: 41million dollars Allan Houston $100 million dollars Jerome Williams $51Million dollars Michial Dickerson $ 43 millions Jayson Williams $ 90Million
