The Los Angeles Lakers stormed into NBA free agency by handing out a ludicrous four-year, $64 million GUARANTEED contract to reserve big man Timofey Mozgov.

When put in perspective of the NFL, Mozgov's reported deal is absolutely insane.
Timofey Mozgov's guaranteed money with Lakers is $64M. That would make him the NFL's 4th highest paid player.

Timofey Mozgov: $64m guaranteed w/ Lakers. Von Miller: Can't get $60m guaranteed from Broncos. Bottom line: Life's better in NBA than NFL.

The insanity of NBA free agency continues, but it might be fair to say we've already got the worst contract of the year right here.
