Nice list. Some seriously overpaid players here. Pargo is in Olympiacos now by the way.

Pargo still earning 2,5 millions from new club Olympiacos.And Krstic now in NBA club Oklahoma Thunder and Jerome Moiso in Spain.

I would like to see Delfino in more serious team than Khimki, he is good, but does he has enough power to show his class in Euroleague ? In Russia there are only money, no tremendous basketball achievements. Most of them are overpaid, overpaid, and one more time overpaid !
