While Parsons career was already pretty much over because of his knees when he got to the hawks, he retired due to a car crash mid season. He was hit by a drunk driver and suffered traumatic brain injury, a disc herniation, and torn labrum, which his agent declared career ending injuries.
Wait. What???
I did not know this.
Yes a bad contract but what happened to him is a tragic
I remember hearing about that
Yeah, he talks all about this in his all the smoke interview.
Congratulations to Luol Deng. He got his last payday with the Lakers this April of 2022, despite not playing in 4 years.
Thats a good agent😂
Same with Noah. This is gonna be his last paycheck from New York
Who's Luol Deng's agent? I wanna know who represents him.
@@cesarcanete3402 gona ask em to the same for you?? 😂😂
That’s called good business. For luol, not the lakers 😂
You should do the opposite like NBA players that lived up to thier huge contracts.
Like CP3, whose huge max contract was very questionable, but he proved everyone wrong.
Good idea. Also ppl like Westbrook.
Okay I’m sorry, just a mad lakers fan
westbrook doesnt deserve his 44 m a year
@@Vs-hg6xi I mean technically nobody does. That’s stupid money for bouncing a ball. But to be fair to him, he was a lot better when he got that contract plus it was basically OKC’s “thank you” for staying with them as long as he did, and all the hard work he put In
Yes Bridges is on his way as well. I was worried when he got paid and Ayton didn’t, even though it’s not a max contract he’s living up to every penny at 14 PPG and a DPOY front runner.
So far.
To be honest to Luol Deng, his neck injury (spinal area) is what caused his downfall since signing the big money. Prior to injury, that was a solid signing given he's always active on both ends of the court like he was in the Bulls.
I remember when Noah ran down full court dribbling the ball and broke his foot I’ll never forget that it was a nasty injury
Ooouuucchh ! I don't wanna see that ! sounds horrific !
what game was that? I remember or heard that he actually got injured like that
@@anthony-ek9ok I believe it was the first round of the 2012 playoffs against Philly game 3
That was the most disastrous playoff series for a team probably ever
@@lifeisbutamoment Exactly Rose then Noah.. Gave Philly that series
Oh boy the Deng and Mozgov deal in 2016 oof , that was brutal in LA , that was just ATROCIOUS
Dengs contract just now got off their books as of last month lol
Lakers will be back to that once they waive and stretch Russ contract
@@trvspvrk noooooo don’t stretch it. They just now got off of dengs contract. And his would be about $15 mil a year stretched. Not worth it
That Mozgov deal didn't even make sense
@@Bigedub101 He got the ring CLE before that thats why
If I remember correctly, Steph Curry was on a $40-m 4-year contract when he won his back-to-back MVPs. A video on underpaid players would be very nice and very welcome.
Steph talked about that in an interview on Draymond Green’s podcast. His whole approach was pretty amazing.
Both former Bulls got identical contracts: 4 years/$72 million. They may have been at the end of their useful NBA lives, but while they were in Chicago, they were both truly good guys. Deng and Noah -- OUTSTANDING character, both.
You need to include Nick Batum. What he did to Hornets was criminal.
Didn't disappeared
He's solid for the Clippers tho.
@@SadfoxGuyver ttt
Definitely! He was not even injured or something, just playing like trash.
ya and the hornets learned from that horrible signing and turned around and gave gordon hayword the kitchen sink too
Also, with the McIlvane contract, it created a huge rift with Shawn Kemp as he was being severely underpaid at the time and wanted a new contract.
...And Kemp got that, he went to the Cavs in 1998 and got paid
@@loveofmangos001 and is now broke as shit
and they blew up my favourite Sonics team ever and then the whole franchise.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Doesn't make any sense at all. When you already have The Glove and The Reign Man why do you need to swing for the fences on an obscure 42% 2ppg stiff?
At least with the other contracts I could see some sort of reasoning. But not here
Hey Andy u should bring back the “how good was X player actually” videos honestly , a lot of people have miss them
yeeess
@Aspie Symbolism good luck. Not talked about a lot. But was a savage.
@Aspie Symbolism 💀💀💀 I was thinking of Bill Walton, not luke 😂😂😂😂 oops. That just cracked me up when I went back to watch some highlights 😂😂
A couple more players who come to mind were Hassan Whiteside and Serge Ibaka. They we such huge defensive beasts before their big contracts
Can you make a video on Carlos boozer leaving Cleveland for the Utah jazz back in 2004?
He technically did a video abt tht already, it was a video abt shady contracts or something like tht
What do want to know
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
@@paulwalkeer1842 your mom. Got em
Shaked hands with the Cavs' blind owner that he'll resign (verbal agreement) but take off to Utah when the Jazz offered more.
The Lakers are about to return to the Deng/Mosgov days soon enough
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
they'll soon thybulle, dewayne dedmon for 4 yrs 100 million 😂
@@lolstfu2950 Idk what the Kings did to Dedmon because he was actually a serviceable big before he went there.
clown 🤡
If you have a 26 year old PG coming off a 23/11/5 2 steals season and a 27/10 playoff run coming within a game of the conference finals what would you do ? Also the wizards are not a FA destination and Wall was looked at as a top 10-15 player in 2017 , you max that guy because you prolly wont get anything better in FA , you cant always predict injuries , easy to say he aint deserve it now but in 2017 very few people were saying it was a bad choice
Exactly people forget he was actually still very productive before the injury even after he didn't play too bad for Houston last year
@@williefaulker its always been easy for people to shit on John wall tho , for watever reason like he wasnt a very high impact , high caliber player before the major injuries , and ik for a fact he still has alot left in the tank to offer to a team
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
@@williefaulkerexactly what I say, alot of teams just not gonna attract superstars like Indy or DC... Wall's situation I think was just tanking and pay him anyway
Jason Williams was really good. Even Jordan tried to recruit before Rodman. Told him all he had to do was play defense and rebound but he decided to stay in Jersey because he also had an offensive game and didn't want that role.
Looking back Rodman was the better fit
@@lifeisbutamoment Oh yeah I agree, I'd take Rodman any day. Just saying Jayson William's wasn't some unknown like the video made it seem.
Davis has been trying to get on this list ever since he got his bag.
"Laughs in Latvian"
And Simmons.
He can't stay on the court due to his atrocious defense, esp in the playoffs. Right now when he and Luka are on the court at the same time, it's moneyball for GSW.
Love ur style and analysts. Bring back “How good was YX actually” Some of the best videos of urs. 🙏🏻
I think X was better than Y tho!
Wasn't McIllvaine's contract also one major reason Shawn Kemp ended up wanting out from Seattle? I think there was a story that because McIllvaine got that money Kemp demanded more and because Seattle did not want to/was not able to pay that Kemp was traded...
And we know how Kemp's career went on after that sadly.
Yup. Either idiot GM, or money laundering or something. But it pissed kemp off and broke up the sonics
Good point
Bro maybe sometime u can make a story about one of my fav player that is damon stoudamire. Always love how you make a story about a player regardless how good or how bad they were. Keep up the good work for all the content
Jerome James signed a 5-year $30 million contract with the Knicks in '05. He played 5 minutes and made $5.8 million in '07-'08. I feel like only Sonics and Knicks fans know who he is, though.
He was the first person I thought of. Only about a quarter of the way through and now I know he won't be mentioned. Instead mentioned older players who never should have gotten paid as much as they did (Deng and noah)
It's the same thing I thought about. When JJ was in street clothes for the Bulls I saw this guy almost everyday visiting a woman in the building I worked at on Michigan Ave in the South Loop downtown Chicago.
Jerome who?
He got tha contract cuz a good playoff serie while he was in Seattle 🤦🏻♂️
I still can’t believe the Knicks believed his BS playoff run
Great vid, Andy!
But I think you could do a 2nd part on this one. Because too many role players got a big payday in 2016 like Biyombo, Cody Zeller, Marvin Williams, Tyler Johnson, Allen Crabbe, and etc.
Is that the same year Al Horford got a huge deal?
@@javierdelgado1554 I think Big Al got his deal in 2017. Not sure though.
Oh that 2015 and 2016 seasons where teams were just throwing huge contracts out like confetti 🎊 at a birthday party
Fellow Wizard Larry Hughes signed a 70 mil 5 year contract with the Cavaliers following his Pippen esque season in Washington in 05 averaging 22.0 ppg, 4.7 assists, 6.3 rebounds and leading the league in steals at 2.9. He was a bad fit next to LeBron James and his game began gradually declining till he's been out of the league
Damn I remember that tooo, he balled out that year and really did look like was gonna be a Hella second option
Joakim Noah literally fell off the face of the earth right after that contract
Well Noah had his bounce back in Memphis but it's not enough to make his career much longer not only that he lost his defensive abilities combining with injuries and clashes with the Knicks that marks them the end of his career.
I don't think you know what literally means.
@@TheMattTrakker well i don't follow the knicks as much but if hey sometimes we may say things that are true or false i did say things that i might mistook.
YESSIR Andy Hoops Saturday video 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
freaking Ian Mahinmi got like 4 years and 70+ mil that off-season, from Dallas lol. As a Pacers fan, I was glad to see him go. Some dumb ass payouts that summer
It was actually the wizards that over payed him
Didn’t mahinmi just won the title with Dallas when the wizards sign
@@Lordeightbane no he got traded to the pacers then wizards overpaid him when ZAZA choose the warriors instead of the wizards
mahinmi is a great 3rd string center, other than that he didn't deserve that contract 4 years 16 million would've been fine for a guy like him
A great third string center 😆
The worst part of the McIlvane contract is he got signed to that deal while Kemp was looking to be resigned and the Sonics didnt.
For your next video I suggest. NBA players with the most suprising long careers such as Nick Collison and Kurt Thomas.
Not to mention Luke Ridnour and Earl Watson.
Phil Jackson gave Noah that contract 😂
Buddy Hield will be added to this list once his contract is up
Suns better not give deandre anyton that max contract. No teams should give him a max.
Knicks fans still remember that iconic photo when he like left the league when he looked like a guy who lived on an island
lol phil jackson sold us
Same thing happens in the NFL. Players usually play their best in a contract year then once they get the big contract, in most cases their performance can decline or not as good as that contract year. Yes, NFL does not have fully guaranteed contracts like NBA, but they still give guaranteed portions of the contract to the players.
Love this video
How did Roy Hibbert not make this list ? His career started great with the Indiana Pacers. Hibbert was already getting compared to the great centers who also played at Georgetown ( Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Morning, Dikembe Mutombo ). Pacers management broke Hibbert off the big bucks and his production almost vanished immediately. Last I heard about Roy Hibbert he was a backup center on the LA Lakers.
That’s cuz Paul George fucked his wife
What's sad too is that he didn't even regress in skill or have injury problems. It's just the league went small so fast and he couldn't adapt.
Also remember that no one will have your interest in mind besides you!! Get those resources when you can!! Opportunities are everywhere but life changing ones are a dime and dozen!! Have a great weekend to all of you!!
Parsons contract was funny as hell 🤣
The Jim McIlvaine contract is what actually caused the rift between prime Shawn Kemp and the Sonics. He wanted more money and felt disrespected that I think McIvaine was making more than him and he was the star.
Shawn Kemp went down hill from there.
when Noah was with the Bulls, he somehow cared as he got into with the Heat and ledumb many times, even saying that he tried to recruit Bosh and Wade before joining the Heat. After the Big 3 signed, it's as if he lost his fire. A lot of players after signing a big extension, they regress and get lazy.
Scoring isn't the only thing NBA teams want. Dennis Rodman is a HOF player and the dude never scored a bucket. All he did was rebound, block shots, and cause grief to the opposing team's best player while he guarded him. Basketball is a team sport even though only 5 players are on the court at a single time.
There must be something happened behind the scenes in Jim McIlvaine's contract. No way a team would offer that much to someone without any accolades
i think it boiled down to over rating his per 36 numbers. in 95-96 he averaged 2.1 blocks but in only 15 minutes. give him 30 and he should be one of the best shot blockers in the league. lots of sonics fans thought the center position was all they were missing in 96, so jimmy was a high upside choice. they were just totally wrong.
@@AdamEllis33 a healthy gary payton is what they needed
@@njprince9717 and a not pissed off Shawn Kemp.
Maybe money laundering? Mafia related? Who knew. But what we do know, it made kemp explode and broke up the sonics. Smh... Dumbass wally walker and front office
@@lucky889s9 I went to same high school with Jim and I can tell you for sure Jim isnt mafia!lol a really good guy. The whole family is.
Another name to add is Isaac Austin who signed a big contract with Orlando Magic in 1999. He bounced around with Wizards then Grizzlies exiting out of the league in 2002.
IIRC during this era they had a new CBA that required teams to pay a certain amount of money to avoid penalty which is why so many avg players got ridiculously high paying contracts
Noah played through his injured shoulder on the bulls, after being traded, he tried to rehab without surgery. Then he tore it.
He was also into his like fourth year playing on an incredibly damaged right foot.
The guy didn't get lazy, his body quit on him and unless he was playing for rebounds and assist only - he was useless.
Noah gave his whole body to bulls basketball and I won't let him go undefended
Hello Andy can you make a video of Mehmet Okur or Hedo Turkoglu
2 Turkish legends on nba
Yesterday i donated my PHONE,WATCH, and WALLET to a poor guy. You cant imagine the happiness that i felt as i saw him putting the gun back in his pocket
😅
Hedo Turkuglu comes to my mind. He signed a massive contract with the Raptors after that 2009 Orlando finals run.
It would be really funny, if Westbrook got traded for John Wall... again...
The Parsons deal would have made more sense if it came after his stint with the Rockets not Dallas
He was privileged
Shawn Kemp in my opinion vanished after his contract. Even though he had a good flash or two in his 7 year contract, he fell off a cliff (metaphorically) after signing with Cleveland.
You are gonna make a video about the Lakers season?
can you make a "How good was John Wall Actually" Video?
Thank you Andy for this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆👍.
The Blazers had a player named Darius Miles. Very gifted athlete. He signed a $42 million contract that was guaranteed. He then declared that he really didn't like basketball and didn't have to work ever again. He didn't.
Was a big Sonics fan growing up. Still have no clue what they were thinking.
Not going to lie when you showed Noah air balling that free throw I lost it lol
I would say Jon Konkak, also known as 'Jon Contract' because his contract was more than Bird, Magic, Jordan. And he was only a reserve..
Imho on the next cba, max contracts should be shorter but higher $ per year. Somethin like 3 year at 50M a year sound good with the last year non guaranteed. Its a win win for players and fans. Fans get to see a better product and players getting more money if they play great basketball.
Nochil fans know that 111m deal was Wiz's owner way of thanking Gil.
Andy Hoops doing a New York Knicks Special?
This happens all over sports. It’s truly a gut punch to a franchise when it happens. I got a baseball example. My hometown team, the Brewers, signed Christian Yelich to a monster extension after he had two MVP caliber seasons in 2018 and 19, his first two in Milwaukee. Since then, he has been mediocre at best.
Another would definitely be Victor Oladipo. Mind you he's made a minor comeback this year with the heat, but overall has been a dud for his annual contracts. Due mainly to bad leg injuries.
Injuries suck. And some probably would have been more relevant if some of those injuries could have been prevented
The Wizards show up on this list twice…I wonder why
Because they had 2 pg’s who put alot of stress on their body trying to carry mediocre teams for years , injuries killed them both
You can add Westbrook and Harden to this list now!
Harden not really
@@Nick-wf8wj wait till the playoffs! 👍
@@set4life30 harden is a playoffs choker
@@user-qu3jv4fx4s that's why he should be on this list, because of his playoff choke jobs!
Westbrook first three years of the contract was worth it tho the same thing can be said for harden although both didn't show up in the playoofs
It always sounds like I can hear you laughing at the player’s misfortune…
A player making millions of dollars to not play is misfortune?
@@Jaywin228 you are right it’s not a sad thing at all. But listen to Andy’s voice, most of these players fall off cause of injury …. Even if it isn’t sad. It’s not funny is it ?
I agree
The Real MVPs are the agents getting these players serious bag.💰💰💰 Don’t forget about Austin Croshere.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but shoutout to Lebron for getting the 2016 cavs roster their bag, I mean Mosgov got PAYED after that ring
Edit: just as I posted the comment he mentioned Deng and Mozgov 😂
how about Andris Biedrins in GSW?
Brandon Roy is another one that comes to mind.
I saw the title of the video and automatically thought of Parsons.
Good work, Andy ….we want to forget about all the dumb stuff that goes down
i would love to see a video on the lakers failed big 3
Players deteriorating with several injuries is quite different than "vanishing" after signing a contract. I'm not mad at them, get paid. That's how pro ball goes
Man as a lakers fan seeing the old picture of D-Lo, Ingram, Clarkson, and Randle breaks my heart we gave up such a young talented core for LeBron to blow the team up and win a fake bubble championship
Joakim Noah was already felling off before he went to the Knicks. He was a shell of his former self (just like that entire roster the bulls had in 14-16) due to injury
Pau was still balling for being an old man lol
thibs is running them down lol, playing 39-48 minutes per game, then he'll wonder why his star players are gassed tf 😂
@@jackpanozzo6004 Pau was really good for the Bulls. I just wish the injuries didn't pile up so badly
@CT yep, we definitely were contending, and we should’ve been up 3-1. Still breaks my heart :(
Charlie Villenuova. He was a huge inside force for the Bucks and then when the Pistons signed him to a huge max deal he would not go inside and just shot threes all game.
He’s another thief. His contract set the pistons back 10 years at least.
It's hard for me to put Noah in this category. His career was derailed by injuries, but always hustled and played solid defense when healthy.
Soon Simmons might be on this list. He needs to return next season if he doesn't come back these playoffs.
I can't believe the Lakers had Randle Russell Ingram and Clarkson 😂
How many tittles with that core? Exactly
@@CTWEsports lakers traded them for a cubic zirconia covid championship that no one even counts😭😭😭
@Slïm3 Wöck still better than nothing.
@@trvspvrk it def counts ur just mad ur team lost. Not a lakers fan either I’m a raptors fan
Let’s appreciate those players agents for a sec
Noah was so bad for the Knicks. I’m glad it got D-Rose here. He ended up coming back. That’s great. When he’s healthy he’s still a very productive player. A plus for any team. Great IQ, underrated after the injury. (he was so explosive before that tho)
didn't Deng play for the Timberwolfs after the Lakers?
The guy who has the amnesty rule (Allan Houston) named after him isn't on the list ?nlol
The Gilbert Arenas deal was not a mistake. If I remember correctly, Gil talked about this multiple times in his podcast. He and the management (or at least the one who offered him the contract) knew exactly that they were gone (yes, including the one who offered the contract).
But the John Wall one was insane. He is the 2nd most paid player (tied with Harden) this 2021-22 season.
No it was a mistake lol
I remember when Chandler Parsons used to be one of the most salary efficient players in the league when he was with the Rockets. Too bad he couldn't stay healthy.
That also the big reason why Kemp requested to be traded.
Hassan Whiteside. Dude was like a better version of Rudy Gobert and now he's a bench warmer after getting paid
Him & Rudy Gobert are teammates now ain't that ironic
My man Mozgov secured the bag big Time!
Holy crap...a Jim Mclivain name drop!
Not just in NBA bro, it's also common in MLB and football (soccer) due to guaranteed contracts
it's common in every sport it's just called making a bad deal, not really due to anything
I've been waiting for how good was kevin martin for a year now 😭
You could include Nikola Peković's contract.
Man, I forgot about that stiff. Can you believe the Wolves had both Pekovic and Marko Jaric under huge contracts at the same time?
A 5th of your cap space going to a BACKUP centre…….. ufffff thats a hard pill to swallow. Especially when even as a backup he wasnt good
Amare Stoudemire secured the bag and fell off. Mostly cuz he kept getting injured. Knicks had to be salty about that
Naaaa Amare First season in NY was a MVP level his second season was ok
Ben Gordon when he went to the pistons, L Deng/Mosgov (just stupid by the lakers), D Howard in Huston, Amari S went to the Knicks. Just insanely stupid contracts
How's going Andy?
The first person who came into my mind when talking about this is Joe Johnson
Mavs signing Erick Dampier and Knicks sigining Jerome James.
Erick Dampier I ain't heard that name in so long
Make a video about plagers who looked like stars but then didnt become one
McIlvane wasn't just overpaid. The general opinion was that his big contract had come at the expense of Shawn Kemp securing a big contract. Kemp had been grossly underpaid for years and 1996 was the year that both he and Gary Payton were due to sign new contracts. Payton got paid, but McIlvane was given priority over Kemp. This angered Kemp and he demanded a trade, though he stayed in Seattle for another full season and still made the All Star Team, though this was the start of his downward spiral due to excessive weight gain.
EDIT: I made a mistake. Kemp had one more season left on his contract, asked for a pay rise that off season, which he couldn't get under the rules of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, and both he and Sonics fan were upset (mild understatement) that a one-dimensional shot blocker got such a lucrative contract instead. Seattle also had a weird preferred roster rotation where their best centre, Sam Perkins, came off the bench as a sixth man, while a role player would start at centre. In 94-95 it was Bill Cartwright and in 95-96 it was Ervin Johnson with Steve Scheffler occasionally getting the nod. McIlvane fit into that rotation system, but didn't deserve that huge contract.
