In this NBA season, teams are shelling out over $110 million in salaries to players they’ve released. That may sound like a lot, but it’s actually down from $182 million last year, when John Wall and Kemba Walker alone combined for $77 million from squads they were not playing for.
This year’s dead money list is dominated by players formerly with San Antonio and Oklahoma City, including No. 1 Kevin Porter, who never took to the court for the Thunder, having been waived shortly after his trade from Houston.
