Trade season is here and some players cannot be traded because they are actually that terrible. The key in identifying the “worst” player is his skills compared to his contract. The worst NBA contract used to be Russell Westbrook. Before that it was John Wall. We now have a new “worst” and this is a look at the top-5.

I feel bad for Wiggins, clearly it’s something mental. He played really well up until the time he took away for his family emergency. I hope he bounces back from it
Yeah I agree. He comes from a tight knit family in the Toronto area. I think he is struggling with something personal
maybe that is really not his kid
@@seanjjpaul If he's got a tight knit family in Toronto, would a move to the Raptors help or screw him up more given more time and proximity?
@@Bobsyagod honestly not sure but I would only assume it would help. Especially the issues with his father which I think are health related.
it's not mental --- Grandma's Wiggs was exactly like this (but not as bad; yikes!) when he played for the Minneapolis Labradors
John Collins has been amazing ever since he’s started at the 5, plays much better without being cramped into the front court with walker Kessler. I think he’s finally figuring out the system too. First half of the season was admittedly rough for him but as of late he has been much better than his stats suggest.
and because of that, the Jazz is on HOT STREAK!!! Their players figuring it out so fast tbh its great to watch.
And he’s shooting 39% from three
Yeah…using a two month old headline for the video and ignoring what has happened between them and now was atypically lazy for Casey! John Collins has been the perfect fit alongside Markkanen since that time!
Everyone faces mental stress in sports and in life. It’s how you overcome that and turn it to success that makes you great
Can't lie to you, John Collins so far is pretty good for the Jazz. The reason why he's in the trade market is because he isn't suited well with Utah. But, the Jazz are on a really good run, and Collins is one of the reasons why they're good.
No he's not
This is true. Now that he's shifted to center instead of power forward he's everything the Jazz hoped hed be when they traded for him
@@prodmoira You're basically saying that you've never seen a Jazz game this season.
@KingOfTheOdds I've seen almost every jazz game brother
Thats basically what he said minus the last sentence.
The car & B.O. analogy is gold 😂
😂😂😂 top tier
The NBA needs to restructure the max contract. How in the world is Jordan Poole and Deandre Ayton get played like superstars, when they're just role players.
Apparently someone thought that they were worth it at some point. Maybe nba teams start thinking about players character before handing out max money but I doubt it. Look up how much money Zuon Williamson makes.
the system is good enough right now, it's designed to protect players by having most of their money guranteed while allowing the teams as much freedom on how they want to pay the player, the problem you have exists but it's not the system's fault, its the teams giving out these ridiculous contracts on players that are obviously not worth it because not giving them what they want results in them just losing the player's outright, a good example of this thing done right was deandre ayton on the suns, guy was asking for max money but the team refused, they know whats up so they just flip him for whatever they can get instead of losing him for nothing, they get one of the best fit bigman in the league for their team and no horrible contract in sight, blazers fucked up though they just gave him the contract and is now regretting it
it's called TV money; the league & each NBA team are swimming in billions, so they can afford to give scrubs like Punching Bag Poole tons of undeserved salary
@@raeserec535 Yeah i prefer the NBA's system a lot more than the NFL's system since the players actually get compensated well and the bad contracts are never the players fault but rather the teams. It also stops teams from screwing over their players with unguaranteed money and all that like what happens at times in the NFL. This obviously helps every player but I would argue that it helps the mediocre role players the most since if they sign a 4 year 40 mil deal they are guaranteed that money no matter what even if they get an unlucky injury or something like that.
Owners don't have to offer it.
Your videos are great CAsey keep it up! I love coming home and watching these videos thanks.
“That’s just the shot clock dummy” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m a jazz fan and I like collins, I honestly hope we keep him atleast for the rest of this season to convey our pick to okc
Great video as always Casey!
I went to the Wizards vs Cavs game recently, and holy crap, Poole was actually as bad as advertised lmao 💀
Is my music decent?
@@Ravon_Regular NO
@@nicolasmartinez795 good bless you anyway💙💜
@@Ravon_Regular Ayo, just got off the phone with god, he also said your music wasn't decent
@@stevanpetrovic6308 damn man😂😂 Ayy god bless you anyway I’ll still be praying for you and I pray you succeed at whatever you do in the future in Jesus name I pray amen
dominayton 😂😂😂 he said it with the softest tone and not even looking at the cameras
You could tell Ben didn't love the game in college. It was the same issue then.
When he said, “It’s just the shot clock dummy.” He was wrong on the scoreboard the game clock was going.😂
It's only in the last 2 mins of a quarter where the clock stops
Wiggins is just heartbroken. Won a title and was playing insane basketball and lost his dad from what I read.
People kept talking about a kid is not his.
I've come to love this channel.
me too
So does this mean Doc doesn't like being a basketball coach since he chokes everytime? 😂
Haha, his words right?
I mean Doc is right about Ben Simmons not being motivated to play basketball.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 Yeah, i mean I'm not trying to get Simmons off the hook, I just think it was a bit hypocritical for Doc to make that comment given his own track record, lol.
I might be remembering wrong but I think there was a time when he coached an East All-star team he benched the Miami big 3 and played all 5 Boston starters.
@@bard1847 I dont think there was ever once when all of the starting 5 of a team were voted into the all star game? The closest was the pistons with rip, billups, sheed and big ben? I mean imagine having perkins in the all star game lol.
Draymond done punched the talent outta dat boi Poole. One Superman punch and it was all downhill from there.
LMAO Goat comment
👀
Great day when am hoops post
Let's be real folks, CP3 Is the ONLY reason Ayton looked relevant. 😂
Great vid, even better thumbnail
Imagine how bad it would have been for the Pacers if the Suns didnt match the Ayton offer
they would be kinda fine I guess. The Suns would be screwed though because they would not have Grayson Allen, Nurkic or Little. Their Starting Center would be Drew Eubanks and they would be outside they playoff picture by now
@@hualchr6697 yeah the Pacers game wise would be fine but that money would severely limit the future options
Just as an FYI, John Collins seems to have turned a corner and has been one of the catalysts to the Jazz’ recent surge in the standings. He was the one on this list that I would disagree with your take.
Nah
He has shown improvement lately, but still pretty far to living up to his contract.
Maybe not bad enough to feature on this list, but a bad contract nonetheless.
Yeah like why not mention Tobias Harris like he's making slightly more money than Collins has, I mean he ain't bad but he ain't worth 30 to 32 million
@@konzza I agree that he's probably overpaid, but there are 2 main reasons it doesn't bother me:
1. It's not hurting the Jazz at all right now. They have a lot of value contracts throughout their roster, and they need to spend above the lower threshold in order to not be penalized so overpaying a player here or there isn't a big deal.
2. The contract gets less bad over time since the salary cap generally increases each year especially with new CBA. The last year of his contract his $26M will be more similar to an $18-$20 M contract this year.
@@phillipwitt4433 This is we where both do agree wholeheartedly 👍🏼
On several forums i have said the same thing in defence of Collins, that in Jazz's current roster salary situation his contract isn't least bit of an issue as one of the cheapest rosters in the league and meeting salary floor more of an issue than hitting the salary ceiling.
It was somewhat weird seeing Jazz to stockpile PF position with Markkanen, Hendricks as their first pick and then taking Collins.
My initial thoughs we're Ainge angling to trade Markkanen away, but not so sure about it anymore, as Collins is doing OK as a center and Lauri being as good as SF than PF.
In their current form and seeing these rotations work in practise resulting into winning basketball, the current roster set-up finally makes sense even for a random couch potato like me 😃.
Yes. Collins is overpaid. But as you said it wouldn't be a major issue for Jazz even without their upturn as a team.
We have gotten to a point now where salaries are so high that there really isn't a huge incentive to win or compete for a lot of these guys, unless they have a natural athletic/competitive drive like the Curry's, Lebron's or Jimmy Butler's of the world. You sign that $30million a year salary, you already won in life as far as i'm concerned. A shiny trophy doesn't mean much compared to generational wealth. Just my two cents.
True but elite players will continue to be elite because they will play for there next contract and are just naturally competitive if you gave Luka a 400 million 6 year deal he wouldn't stop being elite.
You are right, but like I said, only a slim percentage of players show or possess that competitive "top dog" mentality.@@emilfrederiksen.1622
I’m Casey he is an imposter. I’m coming for you counterfeit casey
Stop capping
Is my music decent?
Bruh STOP THE CAP
We should all report him
I DON’T GET IT
You went balls deep on that Seinfeld reference.
Poole and wiggs really said ight imma head out after they got extended
For Wiggins I really wanted him to become a free agent and end up with the Celtics the year after they won the championship. I thought Wigs playing that way Tatum and Brown with White Would have been ELITE.. Lol little did I know they would get Kristaps and jrue...
@8:10 Casey the game clock is litewally going down in that clip
john collins being moved to center has been better plus is contract is average
Would be great to have one of these about players like Denver’s Zeke Nnaji, who was resigned to a $8M/4 $32M extension in October and immediately became unplayable.
The Nuggets have spent 3+ years nurturing, coaching and overvaluing this guy. Then, inexplicably, gave him an extension using the RookieExt/Bird clause, that pays him more than Jeff Green is getting in Houston. The local media refuses to explain why the team, which has been pretty savvy in the Jokic era, is saddling themselves with a contract, that will represent 6+% of their payroll in 24-25.
Does the team think that just one more year of watching and getting paid even more $ the light will go on and he’ll turn into Aaron a Gordon?
Given thay Aaron Gordon is paid 21,3m, it doesn't look they expected him to become new Aaron Gordon, but like 1/3rd of him.
I agree i don't know what the Nuggets where thinking his obviously not worth that he is a G league player.
Hopefully Wiggins can get past his issues.
Wiggs was only playing for the contract/money. Perfect timing with that chip GS won. He said it himself "We about to get a baggg" Too bad, Wiggins coulda been a star. He doesn't love basketball. All the talent in the world but he lacks the passion.
@@Trevor_Schindler Maybe. If he gets past his off court issues, he might/should improve his on court play.
@@Trevor_Schindler I doubt that's it, he was playing well after getting the bag but before he took time off for personal issues. Since then he's a shell of himself, playing with no rhythm, can barely muster basic skills. You can even see him in some games he'll be vacant and a step behind the play, then seems to muster up the will power to put in and you see flashes of what he was before he loses the spark again. His mind just can't stay focused. If he can deal with whatever off court thing is dogging him I'm sure he can come back, but until then he's borderline unplayable
he won't --- Grandma's Wiggs has always been like this
His dad died allegedly.
lol Casey’s reaction to John Collins’ bold statements
The quote of Doc Rivers is so damned true. How many talented players with FP potential started collapsing after their 5th year? Xavier McDaniel, Larry Johnson, Derick Coleman, Glenn Robinson, etc
I wonder if the rumors about Wiggins are true. If so id be devastated as well
Your John collins take is laughable. If you did your research almost EVERY jazz player is available for trade. Collins has been a part of a 9-1 winning streak, starting at center, where we have been blowing out teams, took down 76ers, Nugs, and bucks among others. He’s right that there isn’t ego ball here in Utah, and it shows as we’ve been putting the league on notice, and John collins has been a major asset in that. Hawks currently 16-23, jazz 22-20. L take
Wiggins not really a disappointment. Gsw low balled his contract extension so he can low ball them back in performance. Gsw should have gave him max after 2022.
Trey young was john collins problem till the injury. Now hes just a run of the mill stretch 4. His shot returned though as hes shooting 40 percent from 3.
@6:18 Poor Ayton 😂😂😂
John Collins is a bad first example compared to some of these other guys. He is not worth that money, but still a somewhat productive player for a surging Jazz team.
He's apparently been killing it with his recent contributions. Good stuff.
Shooting 38,5% from 3 this season so far, a bit better than that during the last stretch.
Great vid am!!
As a jazz fan I don’t understand the John Collins hate. Hes played well this year. Sure he’s not averaging 30 a game but he plays hard, can space the floor, gets rebounds, and is a consistent lob threat. I hope we keep him.
Ben Simmons is no longer an All-star caliber starter on any team. That guy should just either stay on the bench or just stay out of the league.
Hey A.M. hoops do you think what fans are saying about wemby leaving the spurs are true? Great video by the way.
Yeah, no. Victor's wanted to be a Spur since he was a kid and is talking about how he wants Pop to hold him accountable and send him to the G-League if he ever plays bad enough. He's very clearly in it for the long haul - the bad AND the good.
This happens to Wiggins once he gets paid
Bro went HARD on that stink analogy 😂😂😂
7:52 I love how it says draymond violently punched Poole. Is there a way to punch someone non violently? Lol
1:50 your voice 😂😂
Bro did Ben Poole and Wigs so dirty with this thumbnail edit 😂
Russ and Harden slander has completely stopped now around all media. Playing good cures all wounds.
Slander: the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation...
The key word being _false._ 🤦💀😂
@@thunderstar254 👍
Never seen that photo of Poole before 😂😅😂
Who else skips the Underdog fantasy ad part?
It’s crazy because two of those three players were essential parts of NBA championships !
John Collins is winning now more than the Hawks. He's playing within a cerebral system and getting better. This video will not age as well as Collins's contract.
Yeah like why not mention Tobias Harris like he's making slightly more money than Collins has, I mean he ain't bad but he ain't worth 30 to 32 million
@ a.m. hoops think u can just put the part where you want us to click into that link in beginning of the vid its annoying seeing it in the middle of the vid and nobody's gonna click that link anyway so 🤷
Ben Simmons is number one by far. Jordan Poole is playing to his averages. It's not his fault the Warriors were dumb enough to overpay him. And I do feel sorry for Jordan for how the Warriors treated him. He was attacked and then it seemed like the team sided with Draymond (publicly). Poole is putting up better numbers than CP3 was (before getting hurt).
Collins is doing well yes his contract is high but give the guy a break
Wiggins was instrumental in warriors win in back in ‘21-22. At least he has that
That Simmons face in the thumbnail is literally more emotion than he’s ever shown on the court. He’s unrecognizable! 🤣
As a suns fan, the passion comment from ayton made me roll so hard. The reason we couldnt take the next step was because he was soft as hell
Yess...... listen, you are 7ft, you are young and athletic and number one pick, you need to be aggressive dude
The photo 😂😂😂😂
Collins has been fitting in much better with the Jazz since switching from PF to C but everyone else has been a boat anchor
The whole pistons lineup is the worst 😭😭
Passion DominAyton is so funny lmao 😂
Three on your list were #1 picks. Unreal.
I cant imagine what wiggins was going through. Apparently it was a personal issue with his father. And ppl made it an issue about his wife and children. Hopefully he gets the help he needs and comes back strong. I was always a fan since the Timberwolves days.
Do u have any tips on getting a job in the sports coverage field ?
Field
Whoops @@StevenUtech-ey9uf
Ben Simmons reminds me of if Giannis never worked hard to get where he’s at. Sad to see him in this state
Hopefully Andrew Wiggins can get pass his issues tho for sure
love the seinfeld reference
2k content creators should do this: I Put Ben Simmons and Jordan Poole On The Same Team
Ben Simmons is actually nice on 2K lol.
What is VO doing for the Thunder
Failed to mention that the Jazz are on the biggest tear in the league right now, during a rebuild.
Removed the rebounds from Ben's statline just to make him look worse... Like he needed any help to look bad nowadays
the Blazers have been paying Andrew Nicholson 3m per season for the last 6 years, and one more installment next year. He never even played 1 minute for Portland.
They asked John Collins to play through THAT!!! that is when you know you are disfunctional
I know
@EnochAlalade why are you talking to yourself
@EnochAlalade I can talk to myself
@EnochAlalade what is happening here
Keep out of this @EnochAlalade
This is the why I am always say "Rock and a roll a Macdonald's".
You understand this? Yes?
Well, John Collins was right about Jazz having no egos and concentrating on team basketball...
Doc Rivers is the best at throwing his own players under the bus.
You said the warriors instead of the wizards at the end
Imagine if deandre Ayton on the pacers right now with the way they are playing. 😅
I do not blame these players. They came to league as teenage and already face the pressure as 40 50 years old adult might never encounted. NBA is not easy.
Nah the Average person has WAY more pressure. Yeah getting yelled at by huge crowds and having people shit on you on live television isn't great. But the Millions and the guaranteed contracts more than make up for it. They don't have to deal with the Financial stress of worrying about not having to pay Bills/rent/food or getting fired constantly. Any normal person would love to have a guaranteed contract that makes them impossible to fire for years at a time
All 3 have something in common...they all got their 'bag' and then disappear 😅
The hawks making collins play through that finger injury makes them the problem
GSW just be throwing the bag at guys..and God forbid anyone point out the egregious glazin' to their fanbase😅
And no, Poole was NEVER better than Herro, not even once.
These bad contracts will end up on Pistons is my gut feeling
I LOVE the merch! i got the hoodie and shirt for christmas! Love the vids too!
Yay! Thank you!
@@AMHoops i love the vids bro Thanks for the comment!
Doc Rivers talking about guys choking in the playoffs is ironic as hell
Wiggins for jhon Collins works
John Collins best fit in Charlotte, Pistons, Heat or OKC 🤔🤔🤔
I know one of Wiggins' high school teammates personally. Wiggins is also stressing over some baby drama between with one of his closest friend who knocked up his baby mama. Straight betrayed while he was focused on his father's health.
I’ve heard about that
U don’t know him lil bro
@@successfulmen2414 he is very well known in Ontario so stfu I’m sure he does. I worked with a few people who went to his high school lil bro
@@seanjjpaul why are lying on the internet bro

2018 Oladipo was built different. Too bad he got injured too much.
I mean clearly in the video with Jordan Poole walking the dog, the real time clock was going down not the shot clock "dummy".
Andrew Wiggins has been "underperformer" all his career. Just because everyone around him gave him over the top ceiling.
Of course doc rivers trying to throw players under the bus when he is the coach who lost most 3-1 leads in history. Dude is such a coward
As a Pacers fan thank god we didn't get ayton
Ben is a diva. Just a diva.
Nah bro Poole just out there playing Championship basketball on a losing team.
John Collins is a bit of a stretch considering his injury messed him up
As far as the Hawks… Luka or Trae… they have no idea what they are doing
