Trae was expected to be a franchaise-carrying great player, but has turned out to be "just" a very good player. Ben Simmons is among the most glaring busts in NBA history. So I definitely agree they are not at all on the same level.
@@CRAiCED. He never got out of the first round in Toronto, including 1st seed in Atlantic Division in 2007 Literally nothing until he was with the Heat
Jrue contract is solid because he’s not out there to really score, he’s always been known as a great defender and a smooth playmaker. He doesn’t want to score 30 he’d rather score 14 and get 2-4 steals maybe a block or 2 and do all the other stuff one way guards wouldn’t do
facts, is all about take care of his Health and have a good longevity, Jrue is a focused playa, and for me, his age doesn't means nothing, since he still ballin asf
Saying Kyrie the worst Dallas contract is insane, Dallas doesn’t have bad contract given that they wouldn’t have made the finals without Kyrie, and they only lost Derrick Jones Jr in free agency.
Correct me if I’m wrong but 32/33 is the age where players generally start to fall apart. But cause most of the stars at that age are on contracts at that time, teams can do very little when those players fall off the cliff. Its such a balancing act
Agree. I don't agree with any of the max contract deals when the allstar/superstar are already age 32/33. Not sure why the Sixers would offer Paul George that kind of contract. I would understand it if was just a 2 or 3 year deal, but not 4 year deal.
Yeah and everything he does offensively is undone by his terrible turnover rate, his diva mentality, refusal to play off ball, and bad efficiency, especially in playoffs. And we haven't even touched on how he makes no one on the team want to defend so you can't win ever
The worst contract on the Hawks is DeAndre Hunter. Giving a max contract to a player who's a multi time all star and took the team on their deepest playoff run since Kennedy was president is completely understandable.
@@tophercamilon3524 Congratulations you can Google things. Trae got a superstar contract and plays like a superstar. Hunter got a starter contract, got moved to the bench, and has missed significant time with injuries in every season since the extension. Dude is 6'8" with a long long arms, but he's an awful rebounder, and can't even make layups consistently. Not to mention his complete lack of ability to pass or create for himself.
Im surprised for the Bulls he didnt mention lonzo ball he's injury prone in every season he plays and signed a 108 million with the bulls but hasnt played a full season and cant till the 2025-2026 season which is his last
@ColdHoops he originally signed a 3 year 105 million when he came from New Orleans as a free agent after that deal almost expired they resigned to an 80 mill for idk how long
"It's incredible how this contract has become a cautionary tale for front offices across the league. What seemed like a promising investment has turned into a massive financial burden, limiting the team's flexibility and putting pressure on both the player and the organization to deliver results that just aren't happening.

What if he comes back stronger and has great defence again, and gets a jump shot and a 3 point shot and and and. Wait a minute, I’ve not got all those things. I could be Ben Simmons too
I disagree with Holiday having the worst. He may be getting older, but he's known for his defense rather than his offense, which we don't really need. I'd say it's Sam Hauser. Not trying to be disrespectful because I love Hasuer, but signing a bench player to a fully guaranteed 4yr $45M deal is kind of crazy
Amazing how just a few years ago the Knicks would be top or near enough top and yet now are credited as being run well. Just shows what difference a few years can make!
Sorry, but the signing that takes you to the promised land could never in 1 million years be a bad contract. If Boston never wins a chip with Holiday again the signing was still worth it.
Kyrie was a good pick on this list especially with how his finals performance anyone watching who were wanting us (Celtics) to lose were like where's Kyrie I know Luka was thinking it😂😂
@@ADUSN you can't imagine how much I despise fans like that. I mean support whoever you want and how you want but calling yourself part of the team is straight up corny
Kyrie avg 25,5,5 on near 50-40-90 numbers with it just being 0.03% off of his Field Goal percentage from said numbers to be a reality this season. Also avg 20 ppg in the Finals while notching the highest point total in said finals between then Mavs vs Celtics with him scoring 35 points. Jaylen Brown the FMVP avg 20ppg in the finals..... Put Tatum on the bench for said Finals and the results remain the same. The Celtics won because they had more 3pt shooters while Dallas had none. You really don't know Basketball guy😂. Celtics had an easier Finals trip than the Mickey Bubble ring Lakers.
@@beastscale1892 ok buddy I do know basketball and Kyrie average 19ppg and jaylen brown got MVP finals cause of all around not just points but I guess you wouldn't know that cause points are all that matter to you.

Lakers would have paid big and swapped players to get him. Just so he can walk out on the floor and everyone say. Hey look who’s out there. That’s not basketball, that’s a theme park attraction.
Calling the Debi trade the worst move of the off season is such a laughably bad take getting 2 first round picks and another player who is at first round value is a great trade for Deni
12:45 Saying that the Grizzlies backcourt might be the best one in the NBA is a huge reach. I didn't say that Morant and Bane aren't good or can't carry their franchise to the playoffs, just claiming them as the best backcourt is a little wild imo
Joe had prime Lebron, prime Wade, Prime Howard, prime Rose and the Big 3 Celtics to get through! That’s a tough hill to climb. As good as Joe was, he wasn’t good enough to climb those behemoth mountains unfortunately.
Imagine a business deciding where it's profits go About 50% gets redistributed to non paying teams and the balance goes to the league for it's expenses. It is a way to level the playing field a bit
Zeke Nnaji is the worst contract on the nuggets, not MPJ. Nnaji making 8 million a year for four years while not being a serviceable nba player has really hampered the nuggets ability to make moves on the margins. Mpj is at least a very good player while Nnaji isn’t really an nba player at all.
8:41 This pains me to say this as a Raptors fan, but paying OG Anunoby $212.5 million to be a 3rd or 4th option with his injury history gives Tobias Harris vibes.
Did not know you have to reach a certain amount of salarys each year, thats crazy. But overall the system dont work when over 20 teams are over the furst salary cap.
Totally. Jrue already proved himself in year one of his contract sand he's the type of player that makes everyone else better. They don't need him as a go to scorer. Both he & Al Horford get disrespected all the time. If I have to hear Al called an old man once more!
Ben Simmons would by far be the worst among all contracts. Even when he's healthy, he declined to a point where he is not good enough to start anymore. At least the others are still starter-level players and just might not get valued as much. Luckily for the Nets, this is the last season of his contract.
I'm not a Trae Young fan at all but having him in the thumbnail with Ben Simmons is the most disrespectful thing I've seen in a while.
It's a click bait
Yeh, to Ben. At least Ben had impact. Trae always a bitch

Jrue was unreal in the playoffs. Whenever Tatum or Brown had an off game, he just put the team on his back.
Super versatile and unselfish
Not to mention salaries are going up
I have to disagree with Jrue Holiday's contract. His 1st year with the Celtics has already paid off. Money well spent by Boston. 👏👏👏
facts, is all about take care of his Health and have a good longevity, Jrue is a focused playa, and for me, his age doesn't means nothing, since he still ballin asf
