"I don't know about this place, man. I just stayed in my hotel room, man. Every time I look out my window.....it's pretty depressing out here, man. It's bad. It's bad. It's all factories." - Joakim Noah about Cleveland


 
 
Kenyon Martin: Signed and traded to a 7 year, $92.75 million contract in July 2004. Contract contains $250,000 annually in performance incentives currently listed as "likely."

Carmelo Anthony: Drafted 3rd overall in 2003. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a maximum value extension ($78,899,560) in July 2006. Contract has either a 5% or $1,000,000 trade kicker, whichever is smaller.

Chauncey Billups: Re-signed to a 5 year, $60.5 million contract in July 2007. Only $3.7 million of the final year is guaranteed - it becomes fully guaranteed 5 days after the end of the 2011 season.

Nene: Re-signed to a 6 year, $60 million contract in July 2006, starting at $8 million, with maximum raises every year until the final year, where $600,000 is saved, presumably in a bid to round off the $60 million figure. Contract is kinda bizarre in that, if certain games played and minutes played conditions are not met, the sum of the contract will be paid out over more years. Or something weird like that. Contract has performance bonuses currently listed as "unlikely."

J.R. Smith: Drafted 18th overall in 2004. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Re-signed to a 3 year, $16,525,278 contract in August 2008. Contract has performance bonuses which are listed as "likely." Incentives are based on team wins (42) and his minutes played in a season (2000).

Chris Andersen: Re-signed to a 5 year, $21.17 million contract in July 2009. Contract has performance bonuses currently listed as "unlikely."

Antonio McDyess: Signed a 5 year, $29 million contract in July 2004. Fifth year will be guaranteed if he plays in 60 or more games in 2007/08. Signed a two year extension to this in July 2007. Contract contains 10% trade kicker. Bought out for about 40% of the remainder (including trade kicker after trade from Denver) in December 2008.

Renaldo Balkman: Drafted 21st overall in 2006. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a three year, $5.025 million extension in October 2009. Extension contains incentives currently listed as "unlikely."

Ty Lawson: Drafted 18th overall in 2009. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year.

Malik Allen: Signed a two year, $2.6 million contract in July 2008.

Arron Afflalo: Drafted 27th overall in 2007. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year.

Anthony Carter: Re-signed to a one year minimum salary contract in August 2009. Carter is actually being paid $1,306,455, the minimum salary for a ten or more year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than two 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.

Johan Petro: Re-signed to a one year minimum salary contract in September 2009. Same as Carter, except Petro is a four year veteran, so he gets $884,881.

Joey Graham: Signed an unguaranteed minimum salary contract in September 2009. Same as Petro.
