Malcolm Brogdon signing 16 years, $85 million with Indiana Pacers.
-
And in the absolute theme thing, this is not a restricted free agent deal.
-
This is an agreed to sign and trade with the Bucks.
-
There, according towards they're going to send a first round pick in a couple of second round picks to Milwaukee.
-
This is Milwaukee saying we've committed to Chris Middleton.
-
175 million.
-
We've committed to Brook Lopez.
-
52 million.
-
They're not ready to pay Malcolm Broad than 85 million.
-
They could have, but they would have gone deep into the tax.
-
And there's a secondary move that happens here.
-
Ricky Rubio, who was lined up to go to Indiana instead.
-
I will not sign there and one said Sign with Phoenix, according to the athletic, for 51 million over three years, which is a huge number for Ricky Rubio that I was expecting that big of a number for him.
-
But also Jeremy Lamb is going to sign with with Indiana Pacers, the Pacers making a couple of big moves here, really reshaping their team and getting a guy of Malcolm Brogdon, who is a 50 40 91 of those rare players 50% 50% from the field, 40% from 3 90 from the foul line.
-
They now he will be that one of their franchise players alongside Victor Oladipo, committing a huge amount of money to him.
-
For a guy who's had foot injuries in the past and Milwaukee just like facilitating and agreeing to it moving on right out of the gates here, that was what fascinates me.
-
And I mean, I just wanted like when Malcolm Broxham wasn't playing for part of these playoffs, you could see on the court the effect it had on Milwaukee.
-
We know that Milwaukee is sort of on the clock, the way the New Orleans Pelicans were with Anthony Davis.
-
Now, this is what happens now that we are in free agency right now for this season.
-
That puts Milwaukee formally on that one near clock of saying, Hey, you have a year now to prove it to Young assented to Campo that he should sign a Supermax next summer, and we thought, Hey, they would go into that luxury tax deep because they wanted to build the best team around him.
-
Now there was question marks about.
-
If you commit all of that, are you leaving yourself with the flexibility you would need to prove it to you?
-
Honest as we go, what do you think?
-
This Malcolm Brogdon move in?
-
The fact that Milwaukee participated in it says, Well, I mean, it says, First of all, even though they got good return, they sent him to a division rival.
-
And Indiana was already when all the depots healthy.
-
They're a good team Now.
-
You talk about broaden and deepen your backcourt.
-
That's one of the best defensive backcourt in the league right there.
-
They got great shooting out of both those positions.
-
And remember they added T.
-
J.
-
Warren and the number 30 to pick from the draft when the table.
-
Phoenix.
-
So now it's one thing to say we got good return for him, But you just made a team that was already a pest into something a lot scarier.
-
And that's really that.
-
That's where you have to start to look at yourself in the mirror.
-
What we talked about Philadelphia, right, because you know Toronto's a chance is gonna be weakened of quiet leaves.
-
We know Boston's weaker.
-
We know the Knicks are whatever we know that I am sorry.
-
I have to wait.
-
No, The Nets are a year away from being who they really are.
-
The East is open now, and now you want to start cutting calls and countless.
-
Is that what we think it IHS?
-
Or do we think that Milwaukee decided this is the smarter move for them to compete?
-
So he's had a history of foot A shoes and you know, your own players medical better than anyone.
-
Usually when you're gonna invest in a long term deal, it's gonna be with the younger player, right?
-
They're investing in the older players here, so they let him go.
-
And that's a nice replacement for Indiana, for Bogdanovich is going to Utah.
-
But what?
-
It also Phoenix Spending all that money on a point guard by eight point guard about time.
-
What does that take Phoenix out of the D'Angelo Russell conversation?
-
Pretty much.
-
I mean, nothing's impossible.
-
Pretty much.
-
I would just say that the Nets have built a very impressive roster in the last 25 minutes.
-
Pacers.
-
Amazing how they The Pacers have done a really nice job retrofitting their team despite losing a couple of key players.
