Offer Malcolm Brogdon the max contract!

[Yoki_IsTheName]

With Kyrie Irving and Al Horford on the verge of leaving, we will have the cap space to offer the max, or close. Now before you call me crazy, here's why we should do it for Malcolm Brogdon?

Now I get it, he's not really an all-star caliber player, not worthy of the max. True, but he's also a very good player.

- only 26.
- averaged 50-40-90 shooting this year.
- very good defender.
- unselfish.
- can play in any system, as a PG, as a SG, as a guy who handle the ball, or as a guy who can play off it.
- only 4 years in the league, his max wouldn't be crippling to the club.

So, at worst, we overpay a guy who can average 16 - 5 - 5 for us with terrific efficiency, a good defender, and an excellent fit to the squad. At best, maybe he do much better with more playing time (played 28 minutes per game last season).

The kicker to this, it puts the Milwaukee Bucks in a position. Match it and they deal with luxury tax implications moving forward. They don't, they lose an excellent bench player.

This might be very rash and reactionary to the news that just dropped, but really, the more I think about it, the more it's starting to make sense.

what would a max offer look like for Brogdon?  I am interested in this as well.

Brogdon-Brown-Smart is a nice 3 headed guard monster.  Size, decent shooting, ability to attack the rim, great def.

And what about a front court? Have to have some money for that. A Baynes, Theis, Williams front court would be the worst in the NBA.

It probably starts at around $25 million - $27 million.

Cap gurus who know more than me would have more info.

In due time. We still have draft picks we can dangle for trades, and Gordon Hayward's contract.

No thank you

when has a big man mattered to Danny , he ll never get another young center that can play. . Unless we tank like Phily for 5-7 years till we hit a lotto with a top 1-2 big man .....Boston is forever gonna just play small micro ball.

Not sure 3 mid round picks in a very flat draft and an albatross of a contract from Hayward will fetch all that much. I think Hayward has very little interest or value.

Hayward's contract is an expiring next year. Easily tradeable.

Send Hayward back to Utah for Crowder ...LOL

His 4th year is a player option. Hard to see him opting out of that payday unless he has a Paul George like resurgence.

Brogdon's a nice player but nowhere near a max player

[Atzar]

I like Brogdon, but I have no interest in him at the max.  You don't sink 25-30% of the cap in a role player.  That's the type of deal that weighs a team down for years. 

[celticinorlando]

No way you give him a max deal. He is a good player but not a guy you sink all of your cap space on.

That's what I meant. He takes that PO, he's an expiring for that year.
