Didn't want to derail one of the other threads, so I thought it would be good to have a thread that focused on bad deals. Don't feel constrained to limit it to 5...
1. John Wall. Some contracts are bad due to the dollars, and some due to the length. Everything about Wall's is bad.
2. Chris Paul. Averaged less than 60 games per season, missed crucial playoff games, and owed $44MM for 21-22.
3. Russell Westbrook. 4 more years, topping out with a player option at 46.6MM in 22-23
4. Kevin Love. His last three seasons-60, 59 and 22 games. His next four seasons-$120MM through 22-23
5. Andrew Wiggins. Just not a good basketball player. Owed $122MM over next four years.
There are some others that could just as easily go on here (Batum, Blake Griffin, etc.) Have at it.
