T&T board top 10 worst contracts - Nominate 10 players

[tmorgan]

Lauri Markkanen making over $42 M as 30% of your cap.
His resume
1 times All Star
0 All Defensive Team
0 times All NBA
Only been on a winning team once in his career (CLE 21-22)
Puts up points on losing teams(Empty Calories)
People think he worth 3 to 4 1st
Yeah he's overrated

Maybe he’s a bit overrated and definitely overvalued by Ainge, but that’s not what this exercise is.

Lauri was an elite offensive player just last season, and also the year before that. He’s only 27. This season has been a big step down for sure, but not enough to make a ten worst contracts list.

babyjax13 has OG on his list & I don't see you trying to call him out for his take. OG and Markkanen are the same age.

#1 this is entirely irrelevant, why does defending OG matter here, and why do it by attacking Markkanen?
#2 fine. OG has a clear history of missing a lot of games, more so than Markkanen (who the Jazz shut down for BS tanking two years in a row, that doesn’t count)
#3 I don’t have OG on my bottom ten list, nor do I think he’s close
#4 you expect me to call out every take I disagree with? Yikes, man, I have a job and stuff. Luckily it’s Sunday.

Imagine if the NBA brought back the amnesty clause.

How many players would be amnestied by their teams?

1st off, I don't care what you do.
2nd, you quoted my post, I hadn't said anything to you.
3rd, no one attacking Maekkanen just stating facts.
4th, if he was such an elite offensive player they wouldn't had to tank two years in a row.

There are some good players on my list but some have terrible contracts. Some are just over paid and will be negative value in a trade.

I've got OG and Markkanen on my list. Lauri seems to have experienced a drop off. Now he might have a resurgence next season and redeem himself. OG is too injury prone to be paid like he is. He's a good player when he's playing but you know if he stubs his toe he's missing a week. He hasn't missed a lot of games this year but he's a risk on that contract that's why I put him on my list.
