Luke Walton makes how much?

[Wiszard]

A buddy of mine was over last night and we started talking Lakers. My gripe, as always, is why the Lakers insist on keeping Luke Walton. I told him it's such a waste of a million bucks a year. He laughed and told me Luke makes like 4 million a year. I laughed and told him he's not correct. He looked it up and it turns out Luke Walton makes 5.5 million this year!! I get Obama being elected Pres....I get the war in Afganistan...I even get Feleno leaving his wife at the gas station.....BUT 5.5 MILLION FOR LUKE WALTON? Am I the only one who doesn't get this?

Why don't they import them all from third world countries? They could pay them a few bucks per game and use the rest of the millions to feed their entire country.

True. I remember the commercials that said "For 43 cents a day (less than a cup of coffee) you can provide a child in (fill in the name of a Country) food, clothing, medical care, and education. Won't you help today?"
