Chicago Bulls Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, G Victor Oladipo, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA)

This being said, some people will say that there are no more bad contracts in the NBA due to all of this.
It may be a step too far to go that far. In the NBA, there can still be bad contracts – they just have to be on max contracts in order to be considered bad.
A player who is on a max contract and isn’t living up to it can be very difficult to trade for if he isn’t living up to it. It doesn’t matter whether he gets a first-round pick in exchange for his services.
