Eddie Munster gets paid.

Okay, its an old joke and they don’t look that much alike, but still – you kind of see the resemblance, right? What do you want from me – it’s Friday.

Yep, Billy Donovan is leaving Florida for the NBA and nobody is all that surprised. He is leaving for the money, I guess that’s pretty clear, but who wouldn’t leave for a relatively decent deal that breaks down to 6 years/$36 million per year?

He could end up getting more than 10 years and $100 million if he makes it to the Eastern Conference Finals sometime in the next three years, which isn’t too far out of line considering the Magic made the playoffs this year. I mean, you have to think the Magic extend the contract at least four more years if the guy produces anything close to the Easter Conference Finals, right?

And, since we never talk about the NBA and we are now – how about LeBron scoring the final 25 points for the Cavs last night in their win over Detroit? If he ends up in the Finals against the Spurs, that series might be something worth watching.
