6 Big NBA Contracts Expected to Be Moved
Six long-term NBA contracts that teams may want to move off their payrolls are under review. According to an analysis published by Bleacher Report, some of these deals are out of line with the players' performance.
NBA teams sometimes have to reconsider major investments because of the payroll burden created by long-term contracts. An assessment published by Bleacher Report looks at six contracts that could be traded or removed from the books at the first opportunity.
The list includes the Milwaukee Bucks' four-year, 64 million dollar deal with Gary Trent Jr. The player's contribution in recent seasons has struggled to justify this salary increase.
The Toronto Raptors stand out for their big payments to Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl. Kawhi Leonard's return strengthens the team, but these two contracts create a heavy burden on the budget.
In Dallas, PJ Washington's 88.8 million dollar extension creates a difficult trade situation because of the surplus of forwards on the roster. In Denver, Christian Braun's 125 million dollar rookie contract is also being questioned due to his declining shooting accuracy last season.
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox's contract also made the list. Fox, along with the struggles he faced in the NBA Finals and the rise of younger players, is seen as one of the team's most expensive burdens in the years ahead.
