Nets out of the big money era?
Sports Intelligence is out with its annual report on spending by professional sports teams, looking at salary figures for 333 pro sports teams. Last season, it notes, the Nets were the 11th biggest spender among all teams worldwide, with an average salary of $6.25 million. That was first in the NBA and third in the US behind the Dodgers ($8.0 million at No. 5) and the Yankees ($7.3 million at No. 9).
The year before, the post-Boston trade Nets were even higher, at No. 6 worldwide -- also No. 3 in the U.S. -- with an average salary of $6.81 million.
