The 2016 NBA Free Agency was by far the worst ever; teams expecting the salary cap to rise but inventively not is a prime example. Players like Allen Crabbe, Joakim Noah, and Chandler Parsons – just to list a few, but there are many, many, many more – all received 70+ million dollars each after fairly average seasons.
These guys are just the start of a list of players who were disappointing contracts, most of these disappointing contracts are still on those teams they once signed with and rides on the bench all year, traded to another team, or bought out.
