Avery Bradley: 2 years, $11.6 million (Miami Heat)

The Miami Heat added some backcourt talent to their roster after wooing Avery Bradley away from the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Mind you, Bradley didn’t play in the bubble or face the Heat in the NBA Finals because he opted out to spend time with his family (his son has a respiratory condition, not ideal for any pandemic to be sure), but Jimmy Butler, Pat Riley and the Heat recruitment division got their way. Bradley signs with the Heat for a pretty reasonable number here.

Grade: B

Jae Crowder: 3 years, $30 million (Phoenix Suns)

The Phoenix Suns continue to be players this offseason, signing Jae Crowder to a three-year, $30 million contract. He’ll join forces with Chris Paul and Devin Booker on a Suns team pushing to make the playoffs in a forever-loaded Western Conference. It appears that Crowder was the first choice for the Miami Heat before pivoting to Bradley, and he’ll likely show just why that when he suits up for the Suns. This contract seems entirely reasonable from a years and dollar standpoint.

Grade: B
