V Hayward

I'm looking at this right now as - if a team offered this guy in a trade could they get valuable pieces in return? I think that is true of Gobert, LaVine and Beal, regardless of if those contracts are 'good' or not. So, for me, they can't be one of the 10 worst contracts.

I also think Charlotte could get neutral value for Rozier, in the hopes that he reverts a bit to how he played the last two seasons. For Lowry, I could see a team like Minnesota deciding to send expirings so they can get a veteran leader, so I'm also taking him off. I also think Tobias Harris is good enough a team could sell themselves on sending expirings for him.

That leaves:

Tim Hardaway Jr.
Evan Fournier
Joe Harris
Marvin Bagley
Gordon Hayward

THJ and Bagley are the longest contracts of the three, and THJ's contract is bigger.

VOTE: THJ

Gobert is straight unplayable at times and with that contract... He gets my vote

I'm going Bagley

Vote: Russell Westbrook

hayward

Vote: Russell Westbrook

Hard to make a good trade with him involved. He's got an expiring deal but its super expensive so he'll have to bring a longer contract back to the Lakers to make the move.

Vote: Bradley Beal

He cripples your cap space, which should only be a thing for the superstars.

Hayward

Vote - Gobert

Poole

This is kind of crazy to me because I don't know a fan off a single team that would take on Lowry's deal without a first, or Fournier for that matter. Like it wouldn't even be a conversation.

But there are fans, and likely teams, who would trade at least some expiring contracts for Hayward.

Hayward.

Sill positions left for gobert and rozier

Not sure why a team would give up expirings to pay 30 mil for half a season of average starter pay from Hayward next year.

I mean there have been proposed trades sending back a mix of expiring and non-expiring contracts Hayward. Proposed trades involving seconds instead of s first. There are no proposed trades for Fournier that don't start with the Knicks adding a first, and frankly, no proposed trades involving Lowry at all.

Vote Lowry. Fournier's a close second.

Gordon Hayward!

Vote Fournier. I think he is the most overpaid and replaceable player on the list
