I have a trivia for one high paying contracts in the NBA history. You remember Gilbert Arenas guys?
He got paid even he didn't played on 2012.
Here is better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBKueG5Elu4According to the interview in Fair Game, Agent Zero was paid whole just to get rid of him and he made $62m with just 17 games because he was signed to Memphies Grizzlies. Wizards just don't want to deal with his problems.

Holy crap! right?
After that, he actually admitted he is making more in China.
That guy is a hell of a genius making profits with his skills.
