  • Pat Connaughton: 2 years, $8.3 million (Milwaukee Bucks)

$8.3 million over two years? For Pat Connaughton? In this economy? The Milwaukee Bucks continue to have an unsettling offseason after the Bogdan Bogdanovic sign-and-trade-that-wasn’t fiasco, and paying up for Patty C isn’t going to help matters.

Grade: D-

  • Dwayne Bacon: 2-year deal (Orlando Magic)

Like the James Ennis signing with the Orlando Magic, no financial details have been released about this two-year deal for Dwayne Bacon. It’s probably around the minimum, and it’s probably fine. Especially if the second year is a team option or partially guaranteed.

Grade: C

  • JaMychal Green: 2 years, $15 million (Denver Nuggets)

Mere minutes after losing Jerami Grant to the Detroit Pistons, the Denver Nuggets signed JaMychal Green to fill some part of the hole he left behind. This is a steal of a deal for the Nuggets, and it’s a killer for the LA Clippers.

Grade: A-

  • Anthony Gill: 2-year deal (Washington Wizards)

Truth be told, I don’t know much about Anthony Gill but he’s well-regarded by all accounts. He shoots the ball well and could provide the Washington Wizards with some forward depth. Because I’m not well-versed on him myself, we’ll grade Gill incomplete, but I expect his grade will lean more favorably over time.

Grade: Incomplete
