        This.

        Well, and Jermaine O'Neal's last deal...

        But I still think Jerome James takes the cake. One decent post-season and NOTHING for the team that opted to pay him that much. Comically bad contract any way you look at it. There's Brian Cardinal too... man, this off-season will probably add one or two to the list...

            The Eddy Curry contract has been pretty heinous. 60 mill with a 11 mill player option for next year

            Gilbert Arenas: 5 years 83 million LEFT.

            Jerome James; 5 years, 30 million

            Larry Johnson, 84 Million

            Jared Jefferies, 5 yrs 30 million, with a player option for years 4 and 5

            Matt Caroll: 6 years, 27 million

            Allan Houston, 6 years 120 million

            Howard Eisley 7 years 41 million

            Michael Redd 6 years, 91 million with a 18 mill player option for 2011

                Jermaine O'Neal's contract wasn't that bad, he just got hurt. His first four years in Indiana he didn't play fewer than 72 games and was All NBA three times. The next year was the brawl year where he was suspended but still productive. The contract only went until age 31, so it was pretty good at the time.

                I think Kirilenko is definitely a candidate. He had no where near as good as his paycheck and personally I think an average player with a huge contract is far worse than a scrub getting a few million.

                Though in terms of awful production for money, Adam Morrison has to be a contender.

                Dude was paid more than 14,000 dollars per point and 47,011 dollars per point after his first year.

                  A quick google search and the contracts mentioned here don't even come close.

                  Besides the Rashard Lewis one. He really didn't show much, much like Rudy Gay to deserve a max deal.

                    Yeah, I guess that's true... but still 7 years??? Just seems crazy to me, and then when he started breaking down and you still see him on the books for $21 million, it's just kinda shocking to the system.

                          I had no freaking idea that Jerome James had that kind of contract.

                          That is just hilarious. Dude is such a bum.

                              Something like 6 yr, $41 million. Rockets signed and trade him to the Knicks.
