J.R. Smith

2013-14 salary: $5.5M (3 years)

Smith is far removed from his Sixth Man of the Year campaign. Nowadays he unties other players’ shoes, gets fined by the league for his antics and finds himself benched more often than not. New York Knicks have been looking to move him, or are at least threatening to do so, but at this point no one would be willing to take on his contract until he actually starts producing on the floor.
