NBA free agency: Worst contracts of 2016

3. Matthew Dellavedova – Bucks (4 years, $38.5 million)

Admittedly, the Milwaukee Bucks having to pay Matthew Dellavedova just shy of $10 million per year over the next four seasons is partly a construct of the salary cap rising and partly due to the fact that the Bucks had to put an offer on the table that the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn’t want or be able to match as Delly was a restricted free agent. That being said, this contract is terrible simply because I have no idea how Dellavedova fits into the Bucks in any way

Sure, Michael Carter-Williams was not good for the Bucks last season (who could have ever saw that coming) and they needed to either upgrade or add depth to the position. Moreover, Dellavedova in theory addresses one of the Bucks’ biggest weaknesses in giving them an outside shooter as the former Cavs point guard shot 41 percent from three in the regular season last year. However, that still doesn’t make me like this contract any more.

Dellavedova’s success was largely the product of being on the floor with the Cavaliers and all of the superstar-type talent they have on that roster. Though the Bucks have quality players, they have no one that demands the attention that guys like LeBron James and Kevin Love do defensively. As such, Milwaukee is paying $38.5 million over the next four years for a role player who might not be nearly the player he was before in a different system. That’s a bad look.

Next: No. 2 Evan Turner
