Los Angeles Clippers: Pros and cons of re-signing Avery Bradley
Con: Pretty penny
The amount of money that’s been dolled out over the past couple offseasons has reached ridiculous proportions. We’ve seen role players signing for $15 million-plus a year. Players who have never even made an All-Star Game are getting nine-figure contracts.
Luckily for the Clippers and any other teams interested in Bradley’s services, the salary cap seems to have plataued after an increase in each of the past three offseasons. That, coupled with the terrible contracts that handcuff certain teams financially, means that Bradley can only demand so much money.
Having said that, there’s not telling what Bradley thinks he’s worth on the open market.
