Honorable mention: Ben Simmons. He earns 35 mil this season, 37 next and 40 in 2024-2025 for 0% 3P, 44% FT and 27 minutes per game...

Honestly this list is criminal to exclude Bradley Beal. He would no doubt be the best player on this list but he is not worth 250M, along with a no trade clause, trade bonus, and his aging. Bradley Beal has gone from a star piece to non-asset all because of that contract

Ben Simmons not on this list? Maybe he deserves his own video

There’s a common theme with NBA shooters and bad contracts. Once they get paid, they suck because the league figured them out.

If you’re a fan of these teams, these are bad contracts. If you’re one of the players, this is just securing the bag.💰

As a Knicks fan we’re used to terrible contracts, Allan Houston, Eddie curry, Jerome James, Amare stoudamire, Joakim Noah are just some I can think of off the top of my head from just the past 20 years

I think we ALL knew that Bertans' contract was terrible whenever he first got it 😂. It gave me shades of Parsons from the jump

The league really didn't learn their lesson from the awful contract frenzy in 2016, did they?

I would love to see a vid about the opposite side ... who are best performers with a small contract?

Fornier hasn’t been the same since Durant said he’s too small 🤏

I always thought the worst contract ever was the lakers giving Mozgov $100mil just because he had just won a chip by being carried by LeBron Edit: it was $64mil but still that’s a bad contract

The situation with Kristaps is still crazy to me. He was a monster those first couple years and absolutely looked like he was about to be some combo of Dirk and KD for years to come. Then the knee injuries happened (and maybe even an Achilles? Can’t remember) and now I keep forgetting he’s even playing anymore. Such a major what if there. The Mavs thought that were going to have something special in him and Doncic

I remember Knicks giving Joakim Noah a huge contract when everyone knew he was washed up 🙄

About Bertans- it is crazy that DAL does not use him but the contract is good as his 16mio, same as Tim can give chance for good trade. Those two contracts for example could give possibility to get any other max player by balancing contracts and giving picks.

Russell Westbrook is the most expensive 6th man in NBA history!

How the hell is Ben Simmons not on this list.....

No one thought Bertans would replace Porzingis production, in fact, the trade received a D- at the time. The mavs simply wanted to break up Porzimgis contract into two mid size contracts. The reason why he’s not playing was never about offense, it’s the fact that his defense is non existent.

Hi Andy. Can you make a video regarding the abysmal performance of the referees this season. Players getting technicals left and right for running too much.

these are my favorite kind of Andy Hoop videos

I never think of the NBA having horrible contracts since the players and teams seem to negotiate good deals for both but man, you find gems Andy!! Thanks!!

The abrupt end on Duncan Robinson lmaooo

Don’t forget john walls contract

No Westbrook is wild. Explains why their trading options with him have been so limited the last 2 years

You should do a video on the best contracts in the NBA my dad back in the day was an account for the spurs and David Robinsons contract was the average of the top three highest salaries every year

How is Gobert not on here? A SuperMax deal for a guy averaging 13/12? And who has to be taken out of the game in crunch time because he's a liability? Worst deal in NBA history to go along with the worst trade in NBA history

Love your video andy its been years following your chanel helping me relaxing and listening your video 😊

Why is Udonis Hanslem still playing? 😭😭😭

Andy ur goated bro , don’t forget it

Dāvis was my highschool mate in Rīga, I was so happy he got that deal, just needs a team that trusts him to shoot 9 threes a game

Lol totally forgot about Hayward… definitely belongs on this list

This is basically 90 percent of the league.

Just makes me appreciate my guy Jon Horst more. He's done a phenomenal job for Milwaukee

honorable mention is tobias harris, got paid the max contract on the sixers over jimmy butler and has been mediocre at best and sometimes a liability now averaging some of his worst numbers of this stretch of his career

You would think that catch and shoot guys like Bertans are just what the doctor ordered for Dallas to surround Doncic with.

Nice content 👍🏿...But you missed Ben Simmons' contract; he should have been #1 AND #2. He's done nothing but decline over the years. He's got 2yrs left on his deal @ about $40 million each. He'll put up the same (if not worse) stats next season and then on the last year of this deal, he'll avg 20/8.5/9.5 out of nowhere so he can secure another 9-figure bag💰💰💰. Ben Simmons doesn't love the game. He loves the money & the fame.

Duncan Robinson did the chandler parsons ( minus the car crash)

Damn I forgot Gordon Hayward & Eric Gordon were still in the league

I loved all the bricks in this video vs a highlight reel. 😆

I love this upload. I love looking at terrible contracts and reviewing old drafts to see where teams screwed up. I must hate gms lol.

dude, Bradley Beal's 5Year 251Mi is by far the worst in NBA right now, Rudy gobert is also overpaid af

Potentially, I think Zach Lavine and Bradley Beal will be on the list of bad contracts later on down the line.

The reason why Duncan didn’t play in the regular season was bc teams started targeting him on defense. Strus came out to fill his role with some form of perimeter defense

Pat Riley the Godfather of bad contracts.

The thing about bad contracts, is they can have value to some teams. Fournier for example, is out of the rotation, and makes a good amount of money, so they could trade him and picks for a good player, without needing others for salary matching

The thing about bad contracts is that role players like Davis, gets motivated on a contract year to play good but right after getting payed they don't feel that motivated anymore

Contracts like Robinson, Bertans, Nick Young with Lakers, JR Smith, show how you shouldn’t overpay for guys who’s only attribute is above average shooting.

LOL at that random zoom in at 4:12 😂

Ouch for these guys but you know what you can't blame them for getting overpaid. Btw Lakers just traded for Rui in case you missed it.

Fournier has a team option after year 3, so I don’t think his contract is untradeable. Still not a good contract but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets moved somewhat easily by this deadline.

Meyers Leonard’s contract knee-capped the Blazers for years.

He might be riding the bench, but he's a legend at the bank.

Russell is actually playing closer up to his contract than the others on this list. It's just being a LeBron teammate and Lakers fans need a fallguy to blame and they don't want to blame AD being injured 45% of games every season and they got the bubble championship.

Chandler Parsons needs an honorable mention he finesse the league

Andy, you're the best.

Robinsons problem is not that the heat have too many "ball dominant players," as he's exactly the opposite. The issue is his inability to play defense, handle, or do anything outside of shooting spot up 3 pointers

Just imagine if Oladipo signed the max with the Pacers. That would have hampered their rebuild so much.

As Heat fun it hurts seeing Duncan Robinson talent going to waste

atleast westbrook is always available,. unlike others always injured or in load management

It seems like Miami is worried that if they attempt to insert Robinson back into the lineup Herro would walk out on them.

Haven’t seen Duncan Robinson on the floor in a long time, not sure what happened

Giving a borderline star player a 20 mil per year deal in today's NBA isn't that bad, but they have to perform... The one truly atrocious contract wasn't on the list though and that is the one being paid out to Ben Simmons. The boy rolling in dough and doesn't have to do much for it. Refuses to do much for it.

Robinson proved he's got juice this playoffs he's improved his defence and low-key cuts and finishes decently now

It seems to me like spoelstra experiments with lineups for the first half of seasons and gets his lineups down for the second half.

Offense comes & goes. Defense stays forever. Every one of these deals sounded crazy even at the time since none of these guys can play half decent defense.

Reggie Bullock contract is fine lmao

And as for Westbrook, while a lot of folks are over the top with the hate, I've been hearing some of the same criticism about certain aspects of his game for over a decade. Love Russ, his heart and passion on the floor, but let's be honest. There's reasons why this is his 15th season and not a ring to show for it yet 😕 and it sucks because I want that for him at least once before he retires

Where is Ben Simmons? He is probably practicing 3 points shots and air balling’em, to me giving 100 millions of dollars to a player that is afraid to shot is the worst contract of all. At least Westbrick is not afraid to shot his team out games.

It’s crazy how people shit on Russ but are silent about Bradley Beal

yo im not gonna watch this whole thing but i can already tell u did the mavs guy with the beard dirty from the intro

bertans got 22m left, last year is only 5m guarenteed

As a Miami fan, Spo is misusing Duncan and ruined his ability to contribute. He should be a starter and he should have over 20 min a game. Otherwise he won’t get hot. Also he needs to be on the floor with Bam. Ban’s DHOs and screens are what gets Duncan his looks

I remember a time when some people are comparing Duncan Robinson to Steph.

Jordan Poole is climbing this ranking fast

I mean for sure I’m a Knicks fan and them overpaying Fournier was even brutal But hey for these players they’re just securing the bag 💰

Yes Andy more basic implosion

Watching this 3 months later when the heat r in the conference finals

I dunno if Gordon's contract deserves to be number 2, it definitely turned out to be a mistake but next year is non guaranteed so it essentially expires at the end of this season.

Bro, look where the heat is now?😂 they were just trolling us the whole season lol

Great info good work who agrees

Dave Bing got paid 15,000 for his rookie contract, he was happy with that, worked a job in the off season, he didn't whine and complain, he worked hard, became one of 50 greatest of all time, after his career finished he became a successful businessman. These 1 season wonders are getting pampered too much. Pippen in his first season with Charles Oakley got thrown around by Oak like a ragdoll. These rookies nowadays are getting pampered and burdened with expectation of a megastar, they ought to get shown that its a tough mans game for the most durable and mentally tough, not get mega contracts and accolades cause of hype. One of many reasons why I hate modern NBA, Silver should be shamed out of the league and David Stern or Maurice Podoloff should be resurrected as Commissioners.

Do a how good was Tayshaun Prince video

In his prime, Westbrook was the best point guard and scorer in the league. I wish he could have won a championship in the Thunder days...so sad that neither Durant nor Harden would have left the team.

The only 1 I’d disagree with is Eric Gordan, Rockets still have a bunch of guys on their rookie contracts so they have to pay somebody some kind of money

Chandler Parsons? I know he just retired, but 94 million from Memphis before being traded to Atlanta and retiring?

the league has change, if you do not constantly move in the court without the ball on your hands then teams do not want you, if you need the ball all the time to move in court and you do not score or pass then teams do not want you.

Anthony Davis is a possible worst contract, because he is hurt most of the time with 49 injury list for him alone is like a military person coming back from a war without amputation.

you forgot beal, and i say this as a wizards fan.

Don’t know bout you but apparently moving Robinson to the bench got them another finals appearance 😸

The dudes that’s getting these contracts after a solid season really finessing 😂

Bertans isn't overpaid, he's just in terrible wrong team where everything is only around and about Luka, Davis is not getting the playing time he deserves and Luka is really selfish player. That's all you need to know.

Idea for video, when a tanking goes wrong. The “ Tampa Tank” by the Raptors didn’t work and now are stuck is limbo. Do thy have future

The very worst contract in the league is Benjamin Simmons. And it's not even close.

So glad that Fournier will be on an expiring contract next year.

Well Bertans is good for his national team - proves that he is still good when given play time and used correctly :)

Oh Damn, I forgot Davis Bertans is in Dallas right now, same with Fournier, I forgot he's with NY

Mavs are so cringe... why are there so many mediocre ROLE players gettin big contracts smh

Knicks fan here. Fournier contract is bad but not too horrible. At least the knicks have been smart and lately most contracts they've given out have a team option for the last year. 23-24 Fournier will be on an expiring 19M deal. I feel like that could certainly be tradeable. Just remains to be seen if they can work out a deal with an under the cap team. I just hope they don't waive and stretch him. Having that Joakim Noah contract waived and stretched was so annoying to see on the cap every year.

Orlando fleeced New York with Fournier. He was putting up empty stats

With how the T-wolves season has gone, Rudy Gobert’s contract has gotta be one of the worst in the league

I’m happy for all these players.
