Is the Beal contract the worst contract in the NBA right now? I can't believe the Suns willingly took that on

Poole probably is but considering the team situation, Beal's is certainly more painful. But at least with Beal there is a chance he can actually be good (but obviously not 50 million a year good), with Poole... not happening.

That was my thought as soon as I saw that list.

Well how else would they add a talented player for free?
At a certain point, if an owner is willing to spend and wants to win, they add the most talent possible.
