NBA Free Agency: 10 Worst Contracts Signed in the Summer of 2016

#9 Ryan Anderson

Chicago Bulls v Houston Rockets — Anderson signed a four-year, $80 million contract with Houston in 2016

Ryno was expected to flourish in Houston due to their trigger-happy style of play from long range - the Rockets have led the league or been near the top of the pile in three-pointers attempted for over four seasons now.

'Moreyball', as their style of play has oft been referred to as, involves eliminating long mid-range jumpers and instead converting all of those corresponding looks to 3-point attempts.

Anderson signed a four-year, $80 million contract with Houston in 2016. His per-game production of 9.3 points on 38.3% 3-point shooting is what one would expect someone to give for the mid-level exception of $8 million, or maybe, in extreme cases, on contract worth $12-15 million annually.

In fact, if he'd been an offensive option with more workload on him as he did during his Magic and Pelicans days, there's a good chance that this contract would actually look cheap, given that his best statistical season for the Pels involved him scoring 19.8 points per game on a spectacular 43% conversion rate from downtown.

But in his current role, and given how he's been too much of a sieve defensively (especially in the playoffs), the Rockets have been hindered from adding a couple of two-way wing players.
