I was surprised to find out that the Pistons and Spurs were 19th and 23rd respectively this year in team salaries and there was only 1 player on either team that was in the top 30 in salary (Tim 20th at $14.2). Just goes to show you that classy ownership, team presidents, general managers, coaches and team players can overcome deep pockets.
Topping the list were the Knicks and Dallas at $103 mil and $91 mil.
The Pistons came in at $52 mil and the Spurs at $45 mil.
