Carl Landry's contract really isn't that bad. He signed a 1-year/$9 million deal with New Orleans once the lockout was over. He's a good player and he plays bigger than his 6'9" frame, often playing center. Although, with that kind of money and playing for the lowly Hornets, Landry should be starting. Carl will be a hot commodity once the off-season begins and if he doesn't reach for the money, he'll be able to contribute to an elite team.
