Keith Smith of SpotracA NBA cap expert, wrote an article earlier this week explaining why Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal has the worst contract in the league, even worse than Wizards of Washington guard Jordan Poolewho is having a disastrous season.
Beal, 30, signed a four-year, $207.7 million deal with the Wizards and the Suns decided it was a good idea to take on the massive deal as part of an “all in” deal. during the last offseason.

Since then, Beal has hardly played alongside Kevin Durant And Devin Booker because he can’t stay healthy and there is still a no-trade clause in his contract.
“Beal is not worth an AAV of over $50 million per season. His production is not at that level nor can he stay healthy. Plus the player option here makes the situation even worse, because Beal has control over what happens during what will be his age-33 season,” Smith wrote.
