Does Joe Johnson have the worst contract in sports?

In other words, this guy will be cashin checks in his mid 30's, probably with us, while dropping like 11 points a game. He mind as well pay A.I 20 million this year.

Of course he isn't the worst contract in basketball. You don't think that the Knicks would be willing to trade Eddy Curry for Joe right now? As long as teams are willing to voluntarily take the contract then it isn't the worst in the league. If Joe's play slips at all then it will become increasingly bad but at least right now its not close to the worst.

i doubt JJ thinks so

....anyway I think the Edgerton Hurtwell contract was worse.

No, but you make the worst "new" threads in Hawksquawk.

Since he hasn't played a single minute under his new contract it would be impossible to say. What if with a new offensive scheme he starts dropping 25/game and we make it to the finals? Will he still be 'overpaid' then? You think LA or Dallas won't take Joe in 2 or 3 years for a championship run if we aren't contending? And if we are contending then my guess is we'll be happy we paid him.

I'm openly asking the moderators to do something with the OP. He posts nothing but troll topics and contributes no real discussion to the boards. I don't think I'm the only one who feels the same.

It is clear that MVP23 has a drinking problem. Let's all hope he goes into rehab and gets the help he so desperately needs.

We all know what his drink of choice is......

Haynesworth from the redskins has the worst contract in sports. Dude sucked big time last year lol. Joe is overpaid, no one can deny that EVER, but there is nothing we can do about that now. So no point in posting threads about that everyday of the week.

Joe has 70Mill more dollars guranteed than haynesworth. You can't really use football players , thier contract stuffz is way different.

Haynesworth was just paid a 21M check weeks ago. Joe has never made that much in one season......at least not yet.

Worst contract in sports? Debatable. Worst contract given out this summer? I think so.

[HawksFan87]

How bout this both of their contracts suck equally, is that better??? If not oh well lol...

[AnthonyI11]

Who cares about his contract? The most important thing is we resigned the most important piece to this puzzle. Lets play ball.

What was the max the other teams could have offered, again?

Whatever that number was, would that have been a bad contract?

[HAWKSFAN89]

Thats a nice -21 you got there for making this thread. Blam.

[Brokentree]

The first 3 years of JJ's contract is fairly reasonable. The 4th year starts to get unreasonable. The 5th year is going to suck. In the 6th year it becomes one of those super expiring contracts that we'll all be excited about wondering what we can get for it.

[NineOhTheRino]

dang I forgot about the Gilbert Arenas contract. That's easily worse than JJ and Hartwell.

Rashard Lewis?
