This is kinda of the point. No one is stating Brogdon is going to rain down 25 a game. Or Beverley becomes more than a really good role player.
We are building around two cornerstone players. Doncic developing into a top 5 player in the league. KP into a top 3 PF.
The math here is simple. A front loaded Brogdon contract allows us future flexibility. Brogdon at 22-25 million in year 3-4 with a cap rising 3-5% a year is not bad. Especially when he will still be a young 29/30 (college seasons vs NBA).
Look at all the teams strapped with horrible contracts. Each team was sold that these veterans were worth the money. Now teams like the Pelicans have to unload generational talents because they couldn’t stay flexible enough to build contenders. Bottom line, most of these contracts become albatross contracts that teams have to pay heavily to get rid of.
