Joakim Noah, 4 years/$72 million

The first three contracts on this list are absolute killers, and Joakim Noah’s is no exception. Though he had extremely productive during the start of his career with the Bulls (even making multiple All-Star teams), injuries have hampered him for years in New York, and, at this point, he is seemingly washed up.

We have already outlined a Dennis Schröder trade that involves Noah, and if he can provide some veteran leadership and intensity, as well as a future draft pick or two from the Knicks, the Hawks should at least consider taking on Noah’s hideous multi-year deal from 2016.
