Mike, like I said, I got that from Bball Reference too, not sure how 2 different sites would have wrong info.
'08-'09 Cavs - $91,298,233(http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2009.html)
'09-'10 Cavs - $83,398,854 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2010.html)
Not yet, I just checked the first ones you told me about.
Either way, that still proves my point, the money is just off. Small market Cleveland 91 mil, Big market LA was 77 mil.
The next year we extend Bynum, Gasol, Lamar and Kobe and we're at 91-92 mil for the next couple years. Clev was at 83 in their last season. ZERO disadvantage like the small market backers are claiming.
I was looking back into the 01-02 seasons, those were similar, I just didn't have time to track down each team and the mistakes. Like I did see a Houston year that had Yao Ming 15 mil, and Ming Yao 15 mil. I have yet to figure out what the hell that means.
I found another site that said the Lakers were paying Ron Harper and Karl Malone in 2009..........Needless to say, double checking salaries is a challenge.
