It’s no secret that the Houston Rockets have their fair share of bad contracts. From John Wall and his remaining $91.6 million to D.J. Augustin and his $14 million, the Rockets have their share of regrettable deals filling up their cap sheet.

However, Eric Gordon’s contract might take the Rockets proverbial bad-contract cake, as he is owed $58.7 million over the next three seasons. NBA franchises usually try to avoid paying players almost $20 million a season as they enter their mid-30s, but Gordon, and his agent, should be applauded for bucking that trend.
