Worst NBA contracts

When you look at the contracts presented in that article, Hedo’s doesn’t seem so bad. It’s still not great given his current level of performance, but it might be the best one on this list.

I though Hedo’s was 53 million over 5 years, not 60 as the article states.

I wonder if BC could convince Sacramento to take Turk and Calderon for Nocioni and Martin. Nocioni’s having a bad year but he’s a solid, hard working player – the anti-Turk. Martin’s a sick scorer but not doing well with Tyreke Evans. Calderon would give Kings one of the top 1-2 PG punches in the L; and Turk would be a big upgrade on offense over Nocioni. We’d get rid of the Turk contract and gain a dynamic 2-guard to start at least until DD develops.
