#3 Terry Rozier (Charlotte Hornets): 3 years, $58 million
The Hornets failed to trade Kemba Walker in the last 2 seasons and also failed to offer him a maximum contract after a stunning season with the Hornets, which led to Walker joining the Celtics in a sign-and-trade and the Hornets getting Terry Rozier on a huge deal.
Rozier will now get paid just under $20 million in 3 years with the Hornets, a team that is so down in the dumps that Rozier might just be their best player. Lamb too has moved on, which has left a void that the Hornets tried to fill up by paying Rozier.

While Rozier is only 25 years old, he can grow into a good player, as we saw during the 2018 NBA Playoffs. He is a good defender and can score the ball once he gets into a rhythm. He always had good games when given a chance to start with the Boston Celtics.
Yet, the Hornets overpaid a player who has averaged double-digit points just once in 4 seasons and has a career average of 35% from the 3-point line. The Hornets basically replaced one of the best point guards in the NBA with Terry Rozier and they will be hoping that Rozier grows into a better player each season and justifies his price tag.
