NBA Free Agency 2013: Worst Moves So Far This Summer

NBA teams can't officially sign free agents until Wednesday, but agreements have already been made and offers have already been sent.

Some teams appear to have made logical, intelligent decisions. Others, though, may need a lesson in maximizing the most of your money.

Here's a look at the worst moves so far this summer before free agents can officially sign on Wednesday.

Pistons Agree to 4-Year, $56 Million Deal with Josh Smith

Josh Smith isn't a bad player, but he's also not worth $56 million. The frustrating thing about Smith is that everyone seems to know he's best attacking the rim but him. He shot 63 percent from inside eight feet last season, but still chucked up 41 percent of his attempts from 16 feet out, converting at a 32 percent clip from that distance, via NBA.com.

At his best, Smith is a do-it-all player who can change games. At his worst, he actually hurts a team by casually throwing up fadeaways. He's not going to make the Detroit Pistons much better, which begs the question, why offer him that much money? It's a move of desperation that will only hold Detroit back in the long run.

Cavaliers Offer Andrew Bynum 2-Year, $24 Million Deal

Injury-prone. Check. Character concerns. Check. No assurance from a workout. Check.

Not only is Andrew Bynum coming off arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees in March, he also declined to work out for the Cleveland Cavaliers, per USA Today Sports, meaning they really have no idea how he's responding on the hardwood at this point.

Plus, we all know about his clashes with former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike Brown and "The Clotheslining Incident" when the Lakers were swept by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 playoffs.

When healthy, Bynum can be a monster on the block. But not only is it ill-advised to expect him to stay healthy moving forward, offering $12 million per season to a player who doesn't always give his all and can have mental lapses seems far-fetched.

Pelicans Agree to 4-Year, $44 Million Deal with Tyreke Evans

I don't really see what the New Orleans Pelicans were attempting to do right here. 

First of all, you don't offer a guy who is going to come off the bench $44 million unless he's really, really good. Second of all, Tyreke Evans has never shown that he can be a difference-maker at small forward, where some people are pegging him. He registered a worse PER at small forward last season with the Sacramento Kings than he did at point guard or shooting guard, via 82games.com.

Plus, the Pelicans gave up a nice player—point guard Greivis Vasquez—to land Evans. Sure, they had already traded for All-Star Jrue Holiday, but Vasquez wouldn't have been a bad backup.

The Pelicans may have a need at small forward, but trading for Evans isn't going to help very much in that regard. The money could have been spent much better elsewhere.
