how is the hawks payroll more than the suns?

[Edge34]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can attribute that to the fact that Gugliotta carries a frigging heavy price tag for such a terrible player...

You underestimate the worthless contracts we manage to pile up.

I believe this season we still had Alan Henderson's outrageous deal, and we bought somebody's contract which ran out this year, but I can't remember who. Plus, we're giving Michael Stewart 4.8 mil. God I hate everyone in the front office not named Dominique. Next year the payroll shrinks ot 20 mil though, so we have a shitton to throw at a free agent this off season.
