Vote: Biedrins

Nominate: Rashard Lewis

kinda surprised luke got 4 votes. i know he provides nothing, but he'll be expiring next yr at around 5-6 mil. even if he's worth $0 production, there's players out there overpaid by way more than what luke will make and others that are overpaid by around the same that are on the books for longer.

V: Joe Johnson - He's still a pretty good player, but that contract will be absolutely lethal after next season.

N: Ben Gordon - $37M/3 for an undersized, score-only player currently scoring 12 ppg on 42% shooting. Awful.
