NBA 2018-19: Atlantic Division - 5 Worst Contracts

3. Joakim Noah, C - New York Knicks

New York Knicks v Charlotte Hornets

This one is a no-brainer. Joakim Noah has one of the worst contracts in the division, if not, in the whole league. After signing a 4 year, $72 million deal with Knicks, Noah has played a total of 53 games for the Knicks, which includes the 7 he played just last season.

Due to several injuries and lackluster play, he has simply been shut down by the coaching staff. It came to a point where Noah also had an altercation with then Head Coach Jeff Hornacek about his playing time for the team. The big man took an "indefinite leave" from the team while he worked things out, both mentally and physically.

It is unclear how the Knicks will deal with his contract. It's almost certain that no team would be willing to take his contract unless another player or a draft pick is included. However, it is possible he could be part of future plans for the Knicks, but that would be quite a stretch.
