T&T board top 5 worst contracts re-do: Vote for #5

[Dr Positivity]

1. Bradley Beal (3 years, 149.9 million + 57.1 million 4th year player option) (contains no trade clause)
2. Jordan Poole (4 years, 127.6 million)
3. Ben Simmons (2 years, 88.3 million)
4. Draymond Green (4 years, 100 million)

Please vote for who has the least trade value of these nominees including play, age, salary, health, etc. and not just the worst player or who deserves their contract the least.

Do not nominate a new player.

Nominees:



John Collins (2 years, 51.9 million + 26.6 million 3rd year player option)



Deandre Ayton (3 years, 102.1 million)



Zach LaVine (3 years, 129.1 million + 49.0 4th year player option)



Andrew Wiggins (3 years, 78.8 million + 30.2 million 4th year player option)



Jerami Grant (4 years, 123.6 million + 36.4 million 4th year player option)



Lonzo Ball (1 year, 20.5 million + 21.4 million 2nd year player option) - 80% insured in real money, full amount counts on cap, Bulls given 10.2 million disabled player exception in 2023 likely to increase around 5% next year.

Vote Ayton

Shorter than some deals like Wiggins and Grant, but unpopular style of player.

Draymond

[Colbinii]

Vote: Ayton

I just don't see him getting back to the role he had in the 2021 season where he was all bought-in defensively and played a simple game. In fact, even if he gets back to that role, he isn't worth his salary. I'd rather have Mitchell Robinson [when healthy], Goga Botazde or Myles Turner than Ayton, and I don't consider any of these players on exceptional contracts [they are fine, positive value].

So yeah, just completely overpaid at a position where MLE money gets you a starter [or at least 20 Million AAV].

Nominate: Karl-Anthony Towns

Ayton then Collins

Ball being injured is not hurting anyone other than cap space.

[jowglenn]

I can’t in good conscience vote Lonzo; yeah he can’t play, but it’s only through next year.

Vote: Collins

[Dr Positivity]

You could argue having Ball is better than Bagley when you consider the disabled player exception and real savings. Then again there is some risk that he actually plays and is not productive but enough to avoid getting the insurance.

[Notanoob]

Vote: Wiggins

Not only is he playing badly now but he has no track record of playing well outside of the Warriors - if they can't get good play out of him anymore there isn't great reason to hope anyone else can. Ayton is a close second but I can easily see teams talking themselves into giving him one more change of scenery and being willing to take him on.

John Collins

[Dr Positivity]

Sorry guys, I made a mistake in the previous thread and Draymond was the actual winner for #4. Please re-do your votes if it changes due to LaVine's availability or Draymond's lack of it, if you don't for the people that voted LaVine last thread I'll carry that vote over.

[JRoy]

I will keep mine, in the name of truculence.
