Andrei Kirilenko – Nets
2-year, $6.5m
Kirilenko opted out of the last year of his contract that would have made him $10 million richer and opted for a two-year $6.5m deal with the Nets instead. This can probably be attributed to the fact that most teams overpaid for players and no one really had enough cap space to pay Kirilenko his worth. So now he ends up on a stacked Nets team and you can probably expect him to opt out next season and look for more cash.
