The point is rather moot. They will pay ilguaskas because they have no choice but to pay him. but anyone that thinks that an NBA team would pay a guy 10 million for 20 minutes a game BY CHOICE simply has no understanding of the finances of the game. The only guy that would do that is Isaiah.

At this point, Z is a bad contract. At ten million, if he wasnt, there would be no need for a 38 year old shaq.
