5 worst current NBA contracts

#2 Joakim Noah

Joakim Noah

2016/17 Averages: 5 Points, 8.8 Rebounds, 2.2 Assists

Contract left: Three Years, $55.6 million

No list of worst contracts handed out can ever be complete without a Knicks player in it. Phil Jackson made quite a few puzzling moves in his tenure as Team President and this might be the worst of them all. Pretty much everyone was bemused when they signed Noah to a long-term contract and the salary figures were bewildering. His contract doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. He's always had injury issues and was coming off two disappointing seasons in Chicago.

After realizing their stupidity, the Knicks have tried to trade Noah but unsurprisingly no one is interested. Like Asik and Mozgov, he just doesn't fit in the modern NBA as he can't really do much on offense and while he used to a premier defensive player once upon a time, those days are long gone. During the whole Kyrie Irving saga, it was reported that the Cavs wanted Kristaps Porzingis but the Knicks were insistent on Noah being a part of any potential deal. The Cavs weren't too keen to take on Noah which says all you need to know about his contract.
