| Steve
Francis: Drafted 2nd overall in 1999. Signed to rookie salary scale
contract for that year. Re-signed to a 6 year maximum contract extension
in August 2002. Bought out in July 2007 for exactly less than $4 million
of the remainder. Raef LaFrentz: Re-signed for 7 years and $70 million in July 2002 Contract increased in yearly value due to invoked trade kicker. Joel Przybilla: Re-signed to a 5 year contract for a contract starting at the full value of the MLE in year one ($5.215 million) but which, because of his early Bird status, allowed for 10.5% annual raises, which he received in full, in July 2006. Jesus, that sentence got long. And very sloppy. Contract has 15% trade kicker. Greg Oden: Drafted 1st overall in 2007. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. LaMarcus Aldridge: Drafted 2nd overall in 2006. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Steve Blake: Signed a three year, $12.5 million contract in July 2007. Final season is completely unguaranteed if waived before June 30th 2009. Travis Outlaw: Drafted 23rd overall in 2003. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Re-signed for 3 years and $11.6 million in July 2007. Final season is completely unguaranteed if waived before June 30th 2009. Martell Webster: Drafted 6th overall in 2005.

Brandon Roy: Drafted 6th overall in 2006. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Ike Diogu: Drafted 9th overall in 2005. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Jerryd Bayless: Drafted 11th overall in 2008. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Rudy Fernandez: Drafted 24th overall in 2007. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for 2008, the year in which he signed. Cos that's how it works, you see. Jerryd Bayless: Drafted 25th overall in 2008. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Sergio Rodriguez: Drafted 27th overall in 2006. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Unusually, signed for 100% of rookie scale, not the customary 120%. Shavlik Randolph: Signed to a one year minimum salary contract in August 2008. Randolph is actually being paid $826,269, the minimum salary for a three year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest. |
