Malcolm Brodgon FA value

 I’m not sure what he’ll get in FA, but to me, he’s a winner, a guy who may not be a sexy pick-up, but a player who will help a team win basketball games. He defends, he shoots, he makes good decisions. He’s a championship caliber player IMO.

I could see a Noah/Deng/Hardaway contract, 71-72/4.

Ultimately he doesn’t sign his offer sheet and get that 5th year from the bucks(80/5).

The dummy bledsoe got 70/4 and he’s 29.

I saw an article on Hoops Hype (i think) that said he’s going to get offered 4/80 at minimum from Philly. He’s quite seriously going to end up cheap even at that price. He is a winner, defends very well, plays both guard positions, can start or come off the bench, shoots 50/40/90 and by all reports is a well liked guy. Throw in that it will upset Milwaukee financially if they have to match and I would not be surpised if someone even goes crazy and considers the max.
Dallas should be targeting him and Horford. Theyd be a really strong duo to add to KP and Luka.

 I think a 4 year 44mil deal or 5 year 55mil deal if he resigns with Milwaukee is a good deal.

 If I’m the bucks I’m matching anything in the neighborhood of 20million per, to me he’s the new age Joe Dumars…

 I think the bucks keep him and let Kris walk..Someone will overpay for Kris. 

A team has no reason to give Brogdon a $14-16 million per offer, because Milwaukee will match it without giving it a second thought. Teams do not benefit from coming in second in a free agent chase. If a team wants to get him, they have to make an offer that puts the Bucks in a bind.

Let us just say for argument sake that the Bucks are budgeting Middleton for something in the range of a 5-year, $150 million extension, not a max deal but max-ish (I guess a reasonably realistic compromise on both sides for comfort and competitiveness). They can already see down the line to what Giannis will be eligible for in a couple years. A number north of $20 million per, especially if it is backloaded, probably makes the Bucks think long and hard about whether life with Pat Connaughton (who filled in capably while Brogdon was out) would be that bad, and if it would hinder their ability to remain a contender in the East. Realistically, a max-ish Middleton deal, Giannis at his number now and what is expected down the road, and a $20 million Brogdon puts the Bucks in a situation where no one is beyond the rookie scale or MLE.

Someone with cap space will throw a big offer at him (somewhere in the  18-20 million a year range) and force the bucks to match if they want to keep him. You see it happen almost every year where desirable role players in restricted free agency wind up getting overpaid. Not that Brogdon isn’t extremely valuable to Milwaukee, but they are going to have to think long and hard about keeping him at that price. My guess is he’ll be playing somewhere else next season.
