NBA 2018-19 Free Agency: Worst Contract By Team - Central Division

#2 Indiana Pacers - Doug McDermott

Doug McDermott hasn't found a permanent home in the last two years

The Pacers lost both Lance Stephenson and Glenn Robinson III to free agency, meaning they had to add wing depth this offseason.

On paper, adding a guy like McDermott, a reliable three-point shooting small forward, seems like a good deal. But when you compare the money he will be paid to his actual value, it might not be the case.

After slowly earning a spot in the Bulls' rotation in his first two years in the league, McDermott started bouncing around the league.

He started the 2016-17 season with Chicago, was traded at the trade deadline to Oklahoma City, moved during the summer to the Knicks and landed in Dallas in early February this year. Indiana will be his fifth team in three seasons, not a record to be proud of.

During that time, his numbers stopped showing the gradual improvement they did in the beginning of his career in Chicago. A three-year/$22M fully guaranteed contract seems a little bit too much for a player whose production level is mediocre.
