NBA Free Agency: 5 Worst contracts offered this offseason

#2 Ricky Rubio (Phoenix Suns): 3 years, $51 million

Rubio now plays for the Suns

The Phoenix Suns finally managed to sign a point guard, a good one that too, in the form of Ricky Rubio. The Suns wasted no time in getting their man, although they probably paid too much money for a player who will just keep the ball out of Devin Booker's hands.

After Booker's amazing season last year, where he developed into a superb playmaker, there were signs that the Suns will make Booker their primary ball-handler and build a team of shooters around him, sort of like what the Rockets have done with James Harden.

Instead, the Suns signed Rubio, who is now 28 years old and has not had the best record with injuries. Rubio has shot below 35% from the 3-point line in all but one season in his career and has been able to play 82 games only once. While he has returned stronger from his last major injury, he is still not the most reliable player on a roster.

There are a lot of positives from this deal as Rubio is an elite passer and a great defender, causing all sorts of trouble for the opposition. Pairing him with elite scorers like Booker and Ayton will only boost his value. But he is never going to be a shooter that the opposition respects.

Age is not with Rubio and he will either stay at his current production levels or get worse. It was also reported that Rubio was not heavily in-demand, so paying $17 million a year for him is confusing considering they could have invested elsewhere and built a team around Booker.
