How much they got left?

You can get close to a max just for being decent these days.I don't think he's all that much better than Cam Johnson tbh.Plus I thought Cam showed more heart throughout the playoffs.Bridges all but vanished during the Finals.Fukk it.It's not my money.

This deal will look like a steal in 2-3 yrs

He could've commanded more if he waited but I can understand not wanting to manage that risk and losing millions bc of injury

I just knew his next contract would be a 4-120 tho

 

[#1 pick]

He's worth it

Definitely a good deal for both parties. I bet Philly wish they didn’t trade the hometown kid for Zhaire.

 

[Guile]

If you are decent player in the league; can shoot open three's, not undersized, can defend, you are getting paid and if you are able to show improvement on your first contract you will be getting paid on that 2nd contract and have a chance to touch 200 million if you just maintain your level.

I wish I could hoop ya'll.

Johnson is decent, Bridges is critical. Far better than decent.

Naw. Bridges one of the elite two way players. You pay for that

The retrospective discussion on the 76ers “process” will be crazy

Bridges feels like a strong candidate to make that deal look like a bargain within a year or two, and in the meantime he pockets almost $100m and gets to hit free agency again at 30. Win Win for both sides.

 

[Hypris]

Around 22 million a year. Not a bad deal. In a league where elite guards are everywhere, high level 3&D wings are valuable. Bridges passing and ball handling are underrated too.

Now it's time to pay Ayton.

I doubt you’ve rated any Suns player highly while they were playing

Happy they extended him and got him at a discount too. hopefully that frees up the space needed to extend DA.
