 Sacramento Kings - Avery Bradley2017/18 - $24,750,000 2018/19 - $26,606,250 2019/20 - $28,601,719 2020/21 - $30,746,848 (player option) Avery Bradley has decided to join the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento was one of only two teams to have stuck with Avery from day one of the process, and was the only one to offer Avery the max from the get go. Avery chose Sacramento as he felt he could play off Damian Lillard in a role he excels in, and whose timeline he matches up with. He also promised Avery the starting SG spot, and reaffirmed this after the KCP trade. Avery also consider the Cavaliers, but did not think playing off of Jordan Clarkson or Patrick Beverly would allow him to maximize his talent as playing with Damian would - and when we got to the nitty gritty, having traded him in the past ultimately did matter. He also considered joining the Lakers, but having come late into the process as well as the signing of Goran Dragic made him feel as though he wasn't a true priority to the Lakers. |

I'm not surprised that Avery took a max contract from someone seeking him out right away, but I'm just curious if there were any starting role promises made, and what this means for KCP.

Wow I've been so lucky since I've joined. I went from
Damian Lillard
Caris LeVert
Otto Porter Jr.
Thaddeus Young
Spencer Hawes
to
Damian Lillard
Avery Bradley
K Caldwell-Pope
Otto Porter Jr.
Andre Drummond
Thaddeus Young
Caris LeVert
Alex Len.
First and foremost I want to thank the Goddess Fortuna, the God of luck. Without her I wouldn't be here today. I started off getting a lot of shit for trading Jonathan Simmons for two 2nd round picks so I could clear cap space to sign both Drummond and Bradley. Fortuna stepped in and passed the trade. Next I trade Bam Adebayo and got even more shit, but I did it for the cap. Again, for Drummond and Bradley.
Not a lot of people know how I actually landed K Caldwell-Pope. I walked down the street to my local 7-11 and bought a $2 scratch off. My LAST scratch was KCP. I couldn't believe the luck.
The entire time that was going on, Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond and Avery Bradley were constantly BEGGING me to join my squad... I reluctantly let them.
I put in ZERO effort to put this team together, yet here I am with a revamped, playoff contending squad.
Thanks Fortuna, I hope my luck continues to follow me.

the only one to offer Avery the max from the get go. Bradley is a 7 year player, eligible for a larger max than this... |

With the cap no longer getting huge increases it'll be tough to improve a team like this that can't even be top 6 in the West.

I thought Bradley was a 6 year player as well. I don't think anyone offered above the 25% mark. I know I didn't when I made my offer that I pulled.

They're very different things. If Chauncey said max, this is an error on Danny's part and it should be the 30 million or so. If Chauncey said 24 million, or 6 year player max, this is likely correct. Easy fix |

Easy fix I mean if no one offered over 24 mil what difference would it make. That likely was the best offer. I always type my contracts out when sending it I don't just say max offer I imagine most people are similar. If everyone was equally stupid thinking his max was the 24 who made an offer I think that's essentially his market value lol. |

That's my mistake - totally operated under the idea that he was a 25% max guy. It kind of got hammered in by Magic Johnson offering a similar contract stating it was the max and not really getting many offers.
But yeah, this one's my fault.

Man, Chauncey has made some straight up enemies.
I'd say if all offers were in this level and even the agent was operating on this level max, then that's his market and what he should stay at. Plenty of you don't think he even deserves this much money.

Plenty of you don't think he even deserves this much money. I dk man, if he said "I offer him the max contract", he should be bright enough to know that is 30 million. But if he said like, "I offer him the 6 year player max", that's a bit different. You should have to mean the things that you say and say the things that you mean. Whether or not his perceived market value is this amount or 4 dollars is irrelevant if one person thinks its the max, which seems to be the case, unless, of course, the contract for one reason or another, is capped... |

I love Avery Bradley but if I were a player agent I would cap offers before reaching the max of $29,729,900.
It's also worth mentioning that the max starting year for 0-6yr players is actually $24,773,250, not $24,750,000. That changed when the cap was changed to $99,093,000.
I'm content to leave the contract where it is. It's more than enough money for Avery and no other teams approached that figure except the Lakers, who excluded themselves by singing Dragic.

Capping is stupid, if a team wants to pay him the max, that's okay.

Are you all really trying to get Bradley's contract changed? Nobody offered my amount or a better situation for Bradley.

If ANY team is willing to offer Avery Bradley 30 million dollars a year speak up now, otherwise the contract should stand.
