Sixers Payroll

The Sixers payroll of “dead money” gets some notice in the Sports Guy’s column: “Jared B. in New York wonders, "I don't know if you've mentioned this, but did you ever look at how many guys are on the payroll for 2006-07 for the Philadelphia 76ers and not playing for them? They are paying Chris Webber, Jamal Mashburn, Todd MacCulloch, Aaron McKie and Greg Buckner. For a total of $45 million, too. There has got to be some kind of conspiracy theory here how Billy King still has a job."

 

I’ll say it again. I cannot believe the Sixers paying Chris Webber $30 million to just go away has not gotten more national attention.
