Who has signed the worst contract since 1999? Grant Hill: 7 yrs., $93 m 13% Allan Houston: 6 yrs., $100 m 34% Michael Finley: 7 yrs., $102 m 4% Vin Baker: 7 yrs., $87 m 49% Ya, I thought that at the time. A group of us sent a letter to Wally begging him not to give Vin a max contract. true story. Wonder if he still has it.
Yeah I saw that. I thought for sure McIlvaine would be on there but these max deals really blew up back in the day. Good ole' Double Chin Vin...ya know his first year he was awesome - between the leg to behind the back dribble drive to the hoop, one dribble and two foot stop for a 10ft pullup, baseline spin moves...then the bottle got the best of him.
That's a let off, only 4th worst. The guy had come off his worst season as a pro, and came to camp overweight. So we max him out, and to complete to comedy of errors, get Joe Forte included in the deal to get rid of him.
