Oklahoma City Thunder: Assessing the worst 3 contracts on the roster

#1 Chris Paul

Chris Paul's contract is among the worst in recent NBA history

When the Houston Rockets penned Chris Paul to an enormous $160 million extension last summer, Daryl Morey was aware that he was overpaying for an aging star. Nevertheless, CP3's extension appeared to put the Rockets in a position to compete with the Warriors, and Morey hoped that his calculated risk would result in a title.

However, the relationship between James Harden and Paul quickly deteriorated, and the Rockets general manager soon found himself looking to offload the NBA's worst contract. Oklahoma City was eventually foolish enough to take on the remaining three-years of Pauls contract, although that the decision owed much to the franchises promise to help Westbrook find his preferred landing spot.

Nevertheless, the Thunder now find themselves with an injury-prone 34-year-old who has averaged less than 60 games over the past three campaigns. The former All-Star will earn $44 million in his age-36 season, and it remains to be seen if Presti can somehow offload the fading star.
