4. Tyreke Evans
Contract: 1 year, $3.29 Million
Stats: 19.4 PPG, 5.1 APG, 5.1 RPG
How did the Grizzlies get Tyreke for only $3 Million a year? Look, I know he has been injured for the past year or so, and he never really lived up to his Rookie of the Year hype he received in 2009. However, his last full season, the 2015-2016 campaign, Reke put up 15.2 PPG, 6.6 APG and 5.2 RPG for the Pelicans.
Those numbers would get you about $67 Million a year today but somehow the Grizz pulled a heist and signed Tyreke to this lowball of a deal. While it really doesn’t matter, because the Grizzlies have the worst record in the NBA currently, he still has one of the best deals in the league.
Here’s to him getting about 3-times that money next year!
