ESPN's Sham Charania reported that "Three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option after clearing waivers."
Beal's buyout confirms that Beal's 5-year, $251 million supermax extension signed back in the 2022 offseason was the worst contract in the NBA last season. But now that he's been bought out, that contract no longer exists, leaving many wondering what the new worst contract in the league is. Many names have been mentioned, but one I'm seeing a lot of is the Pelicans' new guard, Jordan Poole.
