They can afford some Great Players!!

Answer 1

they overpay every player in their roster so much that they have no cap room to sign any big star players

Answer 2

Their payroll is the highest because they wasted their money on no good players like Curry, Randolph, Marbury...

because they're attracted to getting losers with big contracts. Jerome James, Randolph, Curry, Richardson, Marbury... and so on not one of them deserve the contracts they have.

Thomas and Dolan are idiots.

players who do anything

Answer 6

that would be because isiah thomas sees a player who he likes, overpays to get him, and they also have bad luck with injuries

Answer 7

bECAUSE they pay the wrong people.  20 million for Marbury? You couldn't wait until somebody better became a free agent? You could've gotten a KG, Kobe, Nash,or Lebron type player with that money but nooooo. And then what, sign Eddy Curry, and if that's not enough, they go " Hey Zach Randolph, we'll give you Jason Kidd's salary if you be yourself and suck for our team". The list is endless, I would love to name all the dumb moves they made, but I'm hungry and I'm going to eat. Goodbye.

Answer 8

First of all they had the leagues worst coach in Isiah Thomas. second the players that they signed over the years were good players until they signed there contracts. Once they signed they lost the hunger that made em the players they once were. Simple as that
