On June 21, Tencent Sports News, Bobby Max, a senior expert of ESPN, said in a program that according to the information he got, the Bulls had offered Brogden an offer of $80 million for four years. Although the Bucks have the right to match this offer, their salary will face great pressure.
"One of the concerns of the outside world is what kind of offer Brogden can get. According to the news we heard, teams like Chicago Bulls have offered an invitation contract of 80 million dollars for four years." Bobby Max said in the program.
Earlier, Vonalowski, a senior journalist of ESPN, also said that Brogden is likely to get a very generous invitation contract, and the Bucks must be ready to match this big contract, which may be an annual salary of $17 million, $18 million or even $20 million.
The Bucks have made remarkable achievements in the past season. They won the first place in the league in the regular season and reached the Eastern Conference finals. However, this summer, the Bucks are facing huge salary pressure. Brogden may get an annual salary of about 20 million yuan, and Middleton is also qualified to sign a five-year $190 million maximum salary contract with the team. If the Bucks are not willing to renew his contract at this price, other teams will wave money to steal people.
The Bucks had already completed a deal with the Pistons. They sent Tony Snell and No. 30 to the Pistons in exchange for Loire. The team's move is all about saving money. Snell's salary next season will reach $11.39 million. By the 2020-21 season, he will have player options and his salary will reach $12.17 million.
In addition, the Bucks' sending away the No. 30 draft right can also save them $1.9 million in salary. Through this transaction, the team can free up $14 million in space next season.
According to Mark Stein, a reporter of the New York Times, the Bucks hope to catch up with Ilyasova in the transaction. The Turks' annual salary for the new season is $7 million. Although sending Snell away has alleviated the Bucks' salary dilemma to some extent, it is far from enough.
At the age of 26, Brogden has performed well in the 2018-19 season. He can get 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 42.6%.
As a player who has both offensive and defensive skills, Brogden plays an important role in the Bucks' tactical system. He often shoulders the responsibility of marking and defending outside scores. On the offensive side, Brogden has an outside shot. His receiving and jumping shots are very stable, which enables the Bucks to effectively operate their one star four shot strategy. From a tactical perspective, Brogden is a perfect complement to Alphabet Brother.
In this summer, the renewal of Middleton and Brogden became the top priority of the Bucks' work. Although the Bucks can match any offer, their high salary makes the team's salary unbearable, which means that they may have to abandon players like Lopez or Milotici, not to mention George Hill, whose contract for the new season is 18 million dollars, But only $1 million is guaranteed, which means that the team can cut him out quickly.
For those teams who are interested in Brogden, they will become a spoiler this summer. The young Bulls have always wanted to get players with balanced attack and defense. Brogden is undoubtedly a high-quality choice, and he is worth paying Chicago a lot of money to recruit people.
