The Indiana Pacers secured Malcolm Brogdon this summer by way of a sign and trade. Let’s reflect on how that signing has panned out.
The Indiana Pacers secured a piece of their future this offseason when they signed Malcolm Brogdon to a four-year, $85 million contract, a contract Brogdon certainly deserved after joining the 50-40-90 club in his third season in the league.
The way Indiana secured Brogdon was relatively unconventional. While most teams with their sights set on him would have simply submitted an offer sheet and waited for the Bucks to match or forego the ability to match (Brogdon was a restricted free agent, meaning Milwaukee could have kept him if they matched outside offers), the Pacers bartered with the Bucks to promise they landed Brogdon.
