Hey there, Big Spender!
So what does a $101 million payroll and nearly another $90 million in luxury-tax penalties buy for the Brooklyn Nets? Answer: Some very high-paid players, of course. The Wolves' highest-paid player — Kevin Love — would only be tied with Brook Lopez for fourth on the Nets:
Player Salary this season
Joe Johnson$21.5 million
Deron Williams$18.5 million
Paul Pierce $15.3 million
Brook Lopez$14.7 million
Kevin Garnett$11.5 million
Jason Terry$5.2 million
