My pick is Josh Childress, he hasn't helped Houston at all this year.

I wouldnt say that any of these guys are busts per se. Childress is performing how he is getting paid to perform. He only makes 4 mil a year.... all of these other guys get paid more than he does. If he was getting paid a little bit more than i would say he has been a disappointment, but to label somebody a bust implies that there was alot of focus put on him to perform- and that simply is not the case.

I'd say Jamison. He's getting paid a lot. And not putting up star numbers, like the contract he's getting. By those stats, he's essentially averaging 4 more PPG then Kurt Thomas.  |

I wouldn't say Kurt Thomas is a bust. He's nearly averaging a double double which is more than expected from him. Atlanta got their bang for the buck.

childress has to compete for shots with chauncey, rip, big al and wilcox.....chill is the lowest rated player in the starting lineup.......

cough cough michael beasley......don't know y jamison is on this list 15/6 on the best team in the east. It`s like sayin kg is garbage since his numbers are down since joining boston. Jamison is on a team that is filled with four all star type players. To keep it short Josh Childress is the biggest bust on the list. I don`t know how the hell Houston is winning ball games btw.

phew lucky no one has voted for Devin yet, he is probably SLIGHTLY under playing for what he is getting paid but then he is on a tea with a great starting 5 so production will dip slightly.
as for me i think antawn jamison is the biggest bust otu of the lot
