Largest Contracts of 2016 NBA Free Agency (so far)

The NBA's free agency period officially got underway on Friday, and there hasn't been a shortage of lucrative contracts. And, believe me, more than a handful of players are being vastly overpaid.

I'm not even much of an NBA guy and I can tell you that.

Here's a list of some of the biggest contracts agreed to/signed so far this off-season:

Mike Conley (Memphis Grizzlies): 5 years, $153 million––richest contract in NBA history
DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors): 5 years, $145 million
Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons): 5 years, $130 million
Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards): 5 years, $128 million
Nicolas Batum (Charlotte Hornets): 5 years, $120 million
Al Horford (Boston Celtics): 4 years, $113 million
Hassan Whiteside (Miami Heat): 4 years, $98 million
Chandler Parson (Memphis Grizzlies): 4 years, $94 million
Evan Fournier (Orlando Magic): 5 years, $85 million
Ryan Anderson (Houston Rockets): 4 years, $80 million
Joakim Noah (New York Knicks): 4 years, $72 million
Bismack Biyombo (Orlando Magic): 4 years, $72 million
Luol Deng (Los Angeles Lakers): 4 years, $72 million
Dwight Howard (Atlanta Hawks): 3 years, $70.5 million
Evan Turner (Portland Trail Blazers): 4 years, $70 million
Kent Bazemore (Atlanta Hawks): 4 years, $70 million
Ian Mahinmi (Washington Wizards): 4 years, $64 million
Timofey Mozgov (Los Angeles Lakers): 4 years, $64 million
Marvin Williams (Charlotte Hornets): 4 years, $54.5 million
Eric Gordon (New Orleans Pelicans): 4 years, $53 million
Courtney Lee (New York Knicks): 4 years, $50 million
Jordan Clarkson (Los Angeles Lakers): 4 years, $50 million
Matthew Dellavedova (Milwaukee Bucks): 4 years, $38 million
Jeremy Lin (Brooklyn Nets): 3 years, $36 million
Al Jefferson (Indiana Pacers): 3 years, $30 million
Jared Dudley (Phoenix Suns): 3 years, $30 million

Yes, that's right. The Memphis Grizzlies awarded the richest contract in NBA history to Conley, who has yet to accumulate any NBA All-Star selections. Plenty of money to go around this off-season!
