That damn Holt is so cheap! Only $1.6 million per victory! We need to go get us an Allan Houston contract, ASAP!
The high price of victory
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...nnsi&type=lgns
Which teams are getting the most for their money?
The average cost per victory, as of Wednesday, was $2.4 million (based on player salaries totaling $1.88 billion this season divided by the 777 games played thus far).
The leader is no surprise: The Pistons are spending $1.4 million per victory, followed closely by the third-place Spurs at $1.6 million per win.
But this table gives new perspective to the miraculous season the Hornets are having in Oklahoma City: They emerge as the second most efficient team in the league, based on their 28-23 record in spite of the NBA's second-lowest payroll (thank you, Chris Paul).
San Antonio and other franchises pay attention to this ratio with the ultimate goal of spending less than $1 million per win by the end of the season. Based on current winning percentages, only the Pistons, Hornets and Spurs are on track to limbo under the $1 million level.
This ratio also suggests that it's OK to spend big as long as you win big. Dallas' $94 million payroll is second only to New York's, yet the Mavericks are more efficient than half of the league because their expensive talent produces results.
Then consider the Knicks, who are lumped with Charlotte at the bottom of the East standings while hemmorhaging $93 million more than the Bobcats in payroll.
Understand why the Pacers will be looking to trim payroll this summer? They and the Lakers are the only winning teams who rank near the bottom in terms of payroll efficiency. Only three teams are netting a smaller return on their investment than the Pacers.

Somewhere Marcus Cryant weeps. We should be spending 3 million a win.
Yeah let's break the bank and sign a Long Three Project. Their cost per win will skyrocket to $1.6005M.
They dont tell you how much NNY is spending per victory.... I could figue it out myself if I knew how much money they spent this year so far, but they dont give you that either
Spurs' stock are a good investment
You use the payroll of the entire team for the entire year, divided by the current number of wins, hence why the we are at $1.6M now, but should be under $1M by the end of the season.
totno not understand the ways of pale face
him spend money on men playing a fun game
Yeah I know...I was just saying that I would like to know Nny's price per victory but they dont tell you, or give thier payroll for this year...and Im not a one of our salary cap experts so I just dont know it off the top of my head
Peter Holt is a smart man no matter what people say. He has RC and Pop and the front office to thank.
Figured it out, About 8.4 million per win.Yeah I know...I was just saying that I would like to know Nny's price per victory but they dont tell you, or give thier payroll for this year...and Im not a one of our salary cap experts so I just dont know it off the top of my head
Last I heard they're spending around $120M. Isiah's lucky. I wish I had $120M to spend on absolutely -all. Nuttin against Zeke, love the guy, but I thank the Lord Ben Almighty that Joe D is in charge up at the Palace and not Zeke....Yeah I know...I was just saying that I would like to know Nny's price per victory but they dont tell you, or give thier payroll for this year...and Im not a one of our salary cap experts so I just dont know it off the top of my head
Isiah is the best spending other's money
I wish we had a young, athletic, long, three

An infographic would have been a nice companion to this article. Come on, Yahoo, step it up!
How much have the Spurs paid per championship? That is what they are playing for, right?
