7 NBA Players Who Fell Off After A "Contract Year"

[@jpao1834]

On paper, Parsons actually did good in Dallas; His injuries were the only major problem. It was the Griz front office who offered him an absurd amount of cash while being aware of his injury history. I can't blame him for grabbing the opportunity of his life, wishing for his death is extremely childish and petty.

[@damn.1672]

worded it perfectly g 👏

[@paulloy8728]

Finally someone said it

[@MrZahsome]

People tend to forget that he actually got hurt and pretty much never recovered his game. Honestly didn't know what the Grizzlies were thinking giving him that much money though but regardless, the injuries he got would ruin anybody.

[@gmdwill]

I agree with you even more than I agree with myself on this issue. Also, Parsons would probably choose to play and get paid vs not. I hate it when people say, “I wish I could get paid for doing nothing,” as a way of being mean to them. They can blame the team because they deserve it, but the player probably wishes they were playing.

[@david.tousignant20]

Parsons' body gave up after he was hit by a car. I think a pro athlete, whom his skill sets revolved around jumping and running, may have a great "excuse" to underperforme. I guess most people complaining about his paycheck would had been able to still show to work after being hit by a car... wait a minute!?!

Bro josh smith was so overrated. Being a hawks fan my whole life most of the fan base wanted him gone for the longest. Dude was complete trash. Only reason why anyone thought he was good is cause they never watched the hawks play

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

As a Warriors fan: Andris Biedrins. At 22 years old, averaged 30MPG, 11RPG, 1.5BPG, and 11.9PPG in a contract year. Seemed like a rising center in a time when the league was thin on centers (ex: Chris Kaman was named an all-star center the very next season). The Warriors signed him to a 6-year contract at $9M a year. May not seem like a lot now but the salary cap then was at $55M. When adjusted for today's salary cap which is almost $110M, that is like taking up $18M a year of your salary cap! After signing that contract, Biedrins never averaged more than 5 PPG and all his stats declined every year. He was also a 24% FT shooter throughout that entire contract!

[@davidstring8301]

Turner was drafted by the Sixers in 2010. His teams made the playoffs his first 2 years. He played meaningful minutes for a team that went to the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2012. Hinkie wasn't hired until 2013. He only played for one partial season on a Sixers team that was devoid of NBA talent.

Hi Andy, look into Michael “yogi”Stewart from about 20 years ago. The Raptors signed him to a 4 yr deal and he virtually sat on the bench for the length of the contract.

Two things about Buddy Hield: 1) He doesn't create contact like other 3pt shooters. He could draw SO many fouls and put up better numbers if he did 2) Hield is much more well-rounded this season despite not shooting well. He's had numerous games of no points or like 4 points, but he's doing a bit of everything. And with Fox & Haliburton out, he's even been running the offense lately.

The exact same thing happened with Bosh, except Love was putting up even better numbers than Bosh had been.

Aaron gordon is 25 I feel like he'll be a late bloomer

[@yahiaali4059]

His stats are getting worst that’s the problem if he was averaging like 20 a game I’d say he’s a solid player

[@HelmerFud4]

I know this was posted a year ago but Aaron Gordon has become a great defender for the nuggets while providing an athletic slashing power on offense. He is now a key part for the nuggets future. Gary Harris certainly had trouble with injuries but could still be a solid contributor. Hopefully he gets out of Orlando and lands on a contender

Your never overpaid, your paid exactly what your worth because someone decided you were worth that much -said some guy I forget

Sixers did not start tanking until Evan Turner's 4th year on the team. They actually made the playoffs in 2012 and took Boston to 7 games in the second round.

[@darklordmall1944]

people fail to realize that role players that fit into schemes offensively or defensively well do deserve reasonable pay increases to perform their role well. your starters or stars can't always do it all without at least one solid role player playing their role every night

[@paulocanlas6311]

Wouldn't call that deal with Morris "falling off" yet.. He has been beasting in the playoffs atm

Denver do not mind dropping a bag after a big year 🤣

Man you missed the biggest one!! Jerome James!!!! :D

Hey Andy, I’m from philly. I have a process too. It goes from being a huge fan and than watching them try to suck as much as possible and totally losing interest in my team. All these teams that intentionally tank trying to get a franchise player is painful to watch. A franchise player like lebron or Shaq or Tim Duncan is once in a generation. Orlando and Cleveland didn’t tank they just sucked and San Antonio got the luckiest horrible injury riddled season you can hope for at the best time.

[@ebinputtininwrk71]

Hey Nick, I'm also from philly and followed the process out of shear curiosity to see how you purposely lose games without getting caught even though the whole world knew what you were doing🤔 I also felt the sixer fans pain, for I am a Spurs fan and having to watch them fill the void of the "Admirals" injury with Will Purdue was painful to say the least but in the end you couldn't of written a better script for the end of Robinson's career and the birth of the original "Big 3"!!!!

You should do anther video about this, starting with Randle

[@cvgodd1432]

A lot of players don’t care about competing and winning a ring. They just want that huge contract and they’re set for life. We have all played sports with people who are good but just don’t care about winning.
