  • Davis Bertans: 5 years, $80 million (Washington Wizards)

Davis Bertans gets a hefty pay raise and will stay with the Washington Wizards. It’s going to be interesting to see who remains on that team with him when the season begins considering John Wall’s trade request and the fact that teams actually would like to trade for Bradley Beal. It’s a big money deal, but Bertans is reasonably valuable for his deadly 3-point shooting.

Grade: C+

  • Jakob Poeltl: 3 years, $27 million (San Antonio Spurs)

The San Antonio Spurs will retain Jakob Poeltl’s services, signing him to a three-year deal worth $27 million. San Antonio acquired him in the trade that sent  Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to the Toronto Raptors and a championship.

Grade: B

  • Justin Holiday: 3 years, $18 million (Indiana Pacers)

Justin Holiday has re-signed with the Indiana Pacers, returning on a three-year, $18 million deal. He had a great shooting season last year, hitting 40.5 percent of his 3-point attempts. Holiday provides excellent depth off the bench and the value of his contract at this number can’t be beat.

Grade: B+

  • Derrick Favors: 3 years, $27 million (Utah Jazz)

The Utah Jazz paid a pretty significant price for a backup center, signing Derrick Favors to a 3-year, $27 million contract. It’s not a bad deal, most likely, but there isn’t much upside here.

Grade: C-
