Getting paid

One of my favorite things about the NBA is that a significant amount of the league's economic rent goes to labor.

EXHIBIT A: LARRY BROWN

2005 Severance from the Pistons - $7 million
2005-2006 Coaching Pay - $10 million
2006 Severance from the Knicks - at least $20 million

At least thirty-seven million dollars for one year of work.

I don't know if it is PER or will or something else, but Larry Brown even got himself paid more than MJ.

UPDATE

Looks like Larry won't leave without the full $40 million remaining on his contract. Better businessman than I thought.
