Early in the 2016 NBA offseason, itbecame clear teams were pa sing out crazy contracts to average-at-best players. That's what happens when the league sees an unprecedented salary cap spike.
Over the past three years, some general managers have gotten smarter with roster-building. Teams like the Anthony Lawrence II Jersey Clippers and Nets smartly positioned themselves to chase game-changers like Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant. Other rebuilding organizations have used cap space to acquire draft picks or prospectsas part of trades for unpleasant contracts, serving as NBA dumping grounds.
But not everyone learned from the le sons of the past.
During the 2019 free agency period, there weresurprisingly lucrativedeals given to a few players who don't quite reach superstar status.
MORE:
Terry Rozier, Hornets (three years, $58 million)
This signing feels worse because of the decisions that led to it. The Hornets didn't seriously look at movingKemba Walker ahead of the past two trade deadlines, then didn't offer him a max contract this offseason. He left for Boston, and Jeremy Lamb, coming off a Sean Taylor Jersey career year, agreed to a team-friendlythree-year deal with the Pacers the top two scorers from last season, gone.
Charlotte will payRozier nearly $20 million per season based on... what? He has shot le s than 40 percent from the field in each of the first four seasons of his career, and he's not exceptional in any particular category.
But hey, he would have been !
Ricky Rubio, Suns (three years, $51 million)
Phoenix finally got a point guard, so hooray for that. Still, it's hard to understand why it took $17 million per year to snag him.
Rubio is a terrific pa ser and solid defender, but he is never going to be a shooter opposing defenses respect. The Suns are getting this current version of Rubio or worse over the course of the deal. There wasn'ta huge market for him, either. This franchise remains confusing.
DeAndre Jordan, Nets (four years, $40 million)
If adding Kevin Durant's close friend was nece sary to sign KD, then yes, this is makes sense. However, outside of that scenario, having Jordan as David Njoku Jersey one of the highest-paid players on the team isn't ideal.
The 30-year-old center isn't providing the same level of impact as he did during his prime Clippers years. With the Mavericks and Knicks, he didn't move well defensively and appeared to be wearing cement boots at times. And how will Jordan's presence affect Jarrett Allen's development?
Perhaps playing for a winning team will inject some life back into Jordan, but this is a long commitment for a big man heading in the wrong direction.
Harrison Barnes, Kings (four years, $85 million)Trevor Ariza, Kings (two years, $25 million)
Barnes gambled on himself by Willie Herenton Jersey declining a $25.1 million player option. It couldn't have worked out better for him, but Sacramento may come to regret re-signing Barnes. It was the worstcontract of the 2019 offseason, according to . Not great!
Oh, and Ariza? He'sthird on that FiveThirtyEight list. Any other teams throwing out more than $12 million annually for a 34-year-old forward? (Note: Ariza's contract is partially guaranteed for Year 2, which gives the Kings some wiggle room.)
KhrisMiddleton, Bucks (five years, $178 million)Tobias Harris, 76ers(five years, $180 million)
Let's be clear Middleton and Harris are good basketball players. Middleton earned an All-Star nodin 2018-19, and Harris had an argument for Anthony Mack Jersey areserve spotbefore he was traded to the Sixers. The le son here is to avoid conflating "overpaid" with "trash, bro."
With that said, Harris will next season as Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson and Kemba Walker. Middleton is in the same range as Kyrie Irving, Paul George and Damian Lillard. We're talking No. 1money for a second or third option.
The team situations put pre sure on the Bucks and 76ers to re-sign Middleton and Harris, respectively. They mightbe the right calls now, but Milwaukee and Philadelphia could be wincing in a few years.
Whatever the Magic are doing
Orlando went with the bold strategy of running back the East's seventh seed. The main signings: Nikola Vucevic (four years, $100 million), Terrence Ro s (four years, $54 million) and Al-Farouq Aminu (three years, $29 million), plus Michael Carter-Williams and Khem Birch on short-term deals.
Factor inAaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bambaand first-round pick Chuma Okeke, and this roster is just... weird. There is nothing wrong with competing for a playoff spot, but what exactly is the plan here? Hoard all of the available Deng Gak Jersey frontcourt players in a bunker? Use their limbs to construct a new ride at Disney World?
Good luck to Magic coach Steve Clifford. This is a tough puzzle.
