Tracy McGrady: Signed and traded by Toronto to Orlando to a 7 year, $93 million contract in August 2000. Signed a three year, $63,380,622 million extension in July 2004. Contract has incentives that make it really really hard and boring to calculate.

Yao Ming: Drafted 1st overall in 2002. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a maximum value five year extension to this in September 2005. Contract has 15% trade kicker.

Ron Artest: Signed a 6 year, $44.4 million extension in July 2002.

Shane Battier: Drafted 6th overall in 2001. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year. Signed a 6 year, $36,772,500 extension in July 2004.

Rafer Alston: Signed a six year, $26.25 million contract with Toronto in August 2004.

Luis Scola: Signed a 3 year, $9,302,000 million contract in July 2007.

Carl Landry: Signed to a one year minimum salary contract in October 2007. Don't know the guaranteed amount. Qualifying offer extended in June 2008. Signed to a 3 year $9 million offer sheet by Charlotte that Houston had to think long and hard about matching.

Steve Francis: Signed a 2 year contract starting at $2,439,333 (what was left of Houston's MLE) in July 2007.

Luther Head: Drafted 24th overall in 2005. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year.

Chuck Hayes: Re-signed to a 4 year contract starting at $1.75 million in August 2007. Contract contains performances incentives, some of which are considered likely, and some of which aren't. Contract is a right bastard - it totals $6,945,000 without the incentives, $8,102,500 with them all, and anywhere in between if he meets some but not all. Currently at $7,408,000, with maximum raises from a $1.6 mil starting salary.

Brent Barry: Signed to a two year contract for the value of the full BAE ($3,972,800) in July 2008. Second year fully unguaranteed, but will become 50% guaranteed if Barry plays in at least 20 games in 2008/09 (both regular and post seasons), and 100% guaranteed if he plays in at least 40. Low targets, them.

Justin Reed: Re-signed to a 3 year contract starting at $1.3 million in August 2006. Had a bit of a trade kicker in it that kicked in after his trade to Houston and made the second year go all funny like. Waived in October 2007.

Aaron Brooks: Drafted 26th overall in 2007. Signed to rookie salary scale contract for that year.

Joey Dorsey: Signed a 4 year $3,657,920 contract in September 2008.

Von Wafer: Signed an unguaranteed one year minimum salary contract in September 2008. Wafer 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.

John Lucas III: Signed to a three year minimum salary contract in July 2006. First year is slightly more than the minimum. $0.5 million of second year guaranteed only. Waived in October 2007.
