1. Darius Miles ($9 million against Portland's cap)
2. Jamaal Tinsley ($7.2 million against Indiana's cap)
3. Marko Jaric ($7.1 million against Memphis' cap)
4. Mark Blount ($7.97 million against Miami's cap)
5. Erick Dampier ($12.1 million against Dallas' cap)
6. Andrei Kirilenko ($16.4 million against Utah's cap)
7. Eddy Curry and Jared Jeffries ($10.5 million and $6.47 million, respectively, against New York's cap)
8. Samuel Dalembert ($12.02 million against Philadelphia's cap)
9. Tracy McGrady ($23.29 million against Houston's cap)
10. Kenny Thomas ($8.775 against Sacramento's cap)
11. Mo Peterson and Antonio Daniels ($5.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, against New Orleans' cap)
12. Nick Collison ($6.25 million against Oklahoma City's cap)
13. Brian Cardinal ($6.75 million against Minnesota's cap)
14. Marcus Banks ($4.5 million against Toronto's cap)
NBA veteran Malik Rose once told me a story about how NBA players had a term for players who stopped producing immediately after signing a big contract. They called it "signed and retired," and Banks embodies that. And no Banks entry can exclude the story of how Phoenix gave him that four-year, $18 million contract the same year they drafted Rajon Rondo and traded his rights to Boston. Rondo will make just $2.1 million next season, while Banks will be on his third team since then, unless Toronto somehow manages to move him.
15. Zach Randolph ($16 million against the Clippers' cap)

Two things come to mind immediately...

1. Who the hell gave Eric Dampier 12.1 million dollars; and,
2. Houston is in serious trouble.

Nick Collision is not worth 6 mil but he is worth at least the MLE. He puts in 9/10 day in and day out.

He isn't worth 6Mil, but is worth the MLE (which is 5.6Mil)?

Are you kidding?

Well not really, T-Mac's contract comes off the books after this season. I'm sure if Houston really wanted to they could dump his contract fairly easily.

ESPN just proves their idiocy by putting Collison on that list. Wow.

They see 6'9 white guy they see scrub automatically.

When the guy is a major asset to any team and would be a top 7 player in any rotation.

Yeah, for instance... where the F*&# is J-O ? at least our guy is only 4.5 Mil...lol

I wouldnt call Banks at 4.5mil a cap killer because it is still low comparatively. It's still a bad contract but i would call it a nuisance moreso than a cap killer.

oh and they are missing a some worse ones bobby simmons and dan gadzuric.. both i think are over mid level money..

I don't see mo pete as a cap killer, Maybe because I love him, but still.

Last season just went from bad to worse for him after his injuries. Many of their fans see Butler playing the two spot and rookie Marcus Thornton backing him up. Mo Pete came back late in the season but seems to have been forgotten because he didn't make a significant impact.
