Money talks, Sonics walk


Posted at 12:01 am by Doug Parry, Herald staff

OK, who wants to make some money?

First up: lawyers. They've spent weeks in training, waiting for the NBA to approve the Sonics' move to Oklahoma City. Now they're ready to show who's got game.

It's just what every kid with a 6-inch vertical leap dreams about while playing basketball on the playground -- throwing down those sweet billable hours.

Next there's Evan Longoria, a 22-year-old third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays who signed a six-year, $17.5 million contract Friday. Longoria has notched a grand total of six major-league hits in six games -- not even enough time to see if he's got legs like his near-namesake, Eva.

Of course, he looks like a bargain to the Mariners, who are paying Richie Sexson $15.5 million just for this season. It can take him weeks to rack up six hits.

Finally, there's Jeff Bezos. Amazon.com made $476 million last year and he took home a relatively paltry $81,840 as CEO.

He'd be worth a lot more money, but he's always taking 40 percent off his cover price and shipping himself to work for free.
