Mavs, Celts, Suns, Bulls linked to Brogdon
Brogdon is one of my favourite players in the L. But I suspect that while the Bucks initially may have hoped to sign him for a deal starting at $15m a year, the aforementioned teams (aside from Boston) are going to submit escalating bids until he receives a deal an excess of $20m. I predict a crazy contract for a guy who doesn't create his own shot or protect the rim.
Do the Knicks want to go that high?
We are sitting at the table with the most chips. Why not outbid?
Because the point isn't, as Kid suggests, to get the best player. It's to build the best team. And you generally can't do that with bad contracts.
Look at how much trouble Houston is having simply because of the Chris Paul contract. A more reasonable deal would have been movable.
We shouldn't sign any deal which can't be moved. Brogdon, whom I love, makes sense at some number but not at any number. There are better uses of cap space than say $25m on Brogdon.
