Yesterday we highlighted the NBA's smartest contracts, but today we're diving into the 15 worst ones that can sink a franchise. In this tight cap era, after the 2023 collective bargaining agreement, bad deals hit harder than ever, with luxury taxes and aprons. Punishing, big spenders. Number one is Joel M. Beatt's massive $188 million pack over three years with Philadelphia, mainly due to his endless injury. Wows? He's never cracked 70 games in a season. Teams now face fewer paths to fix mistakes, as dumping salary often means years of rebuilding pain. Portability matters most here. Pricy guards or injury risks are tough to move, unlike cheap versatile wings. Tech-Dayer and Fox's 223 million over four years in San Antonio. He's solid now, but fading speed makes it risky, long-term though. The spurs' youth lets them absorb it.

Carl Anthony Towne's Supermax as his shooting dips at age 30. Milwaukee's Miles Turner extension looks shaky without Indiana setup, and Houston wisely dumped inefficient Jalen Green on Phoenix mid-deal. Deeper cuts reveal aging stars like Anthony Davis, missing games and bombing jumpers on his 121 million packed, or Paul George's. Row player pay at age 35 for Philly. Jockup Peltel tops Toronto's odd commitment at 103 million over four, despite average play and a rookie challenger. Meanwhile, J. Moran's explosive-style falters, without rim attacks, leaving Memphis stuck on 87 million over two.
