Anyone have the exact numbers for it?

Incidently, when I was looking for the number, I came across this:

Howard expressed his thanks to Wolves owner Glen Taylor, vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale and coach Randy Whitman, and called the organization

Cool quote, thanks for sharing Shrink.

I've never been a big fan of how buyouts work....I mean, most often its the players that want out but yet they typically wind up with 80% or more of their contract just to walk away and sign elsewhere. Is that really fair? Dont you think, if they REALLY wanted to go that badly, that they'd accept like 50% or even less (still not a bad deal for doing nothing). Just once I'd like to see an owner say "Either you can accept 50 cents on the dollar to walk away, or you can show up every day for practice and games and sit your spoiled ass on the bench".

Honestly, does anyone know why players always wind up with so much?

Even so, it was nice to see the kind words from Howard.

Of course he is going to praise them. He got paid to do nothing!
