So I got out the calculator. Took the team salary & divided it by total wins (Reg + Playoffs) and came up w/this in the NBA. Among playoff teams, Memphis paid the fewest for their wins, Clippers the most. Among non playoff teams, the Pacers got the most bang for their buck, while the Pistons paid over $1.2M more than the next worse for their victories.
