[New New York]

he's played 89 games in 4 seasons. seriously, WTF?

He really played a total of 89 games! That is more than I wouldve ever thought!

[LJ4ptplay]

Yeah, I think it's more like 89 minutes in 4 seasons.

[OriginalKnickGrandson]

Yeah, I think it's more like 89 minutes in 4 seasons.

That's probably more accurate

The NYK should cut their losses and open up a roster spot. I' sure Jerome would appreciate this and just retire. Don't see any team giving him a miimum vet salary at all. He is not healthy.

[paris401]

he mite be bought out, but he ain't retiring... not with 6+ mill on the table for next year.

[DaTPRiNCE]

he could get forced into a medical retirement which would be great....

[Giants89FLY]

he could get forced into a medical retirement which would be great....

My god that would be great!

Here are a few creative accounting ways in how that $29M played out on the floor, assuming he indeed doesn't return in 09-10:

$2,507,204.61 per hour on the floor

$325,842.70 per game played

$130,044.84 per point scored

$177,914.11 per rebound

$743,589.74 per blocked shot

By forced, do you mean one of us should break his leg?

burger-king appears tobe a mellow-fellow, but if i was attempting to do him bodily harm, i'd have a large gun.... a very large gun...

[Ewing]

He should retire

LJ, you forgot to mention that the cash being mentioned is in burger king coupons.

DAVID LEE $/stats - (not counting rest of 2009)

SALARY
2005/2006 - $ 861,360
2006/2007 - $ 926,040
2007/2008 - $ 990,600
2008/2009 - $1,788,033

Total = $4,566,033

STATS
6610 minutes = $690/minute
2082 rebounds = $2193/rebound
2451 points = $1862/point

Looking at it that way, I'd say trade David Lee! not.

So Jerome James makes more in 1 year than David Lee has made
his whole New York career, and now we can't afford to pay the man when his time has come to get paid? Staph Mebury gets $21Mill to NOT PLAY.

what does that tell you about James Dolan and the Knicks organization?
