Share to twitterKhris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks cashed in this summer with a $178 million contract extension.NBA free agency this summer produced a staggering level of movement among the league’s top players. Only eight of the 25 players chosen for the 2017 NBA All-Star Game remain on the same team today. The reshaping of the league produced a series of clear winners in the Los Angeles Clippers, the Utah Jazz and the Brooklyn Nets.
Schwartz walks through the case of client Ricky Rubio, a point guard who needed a new home after two years with the Jazz, who had just traded for Mike Conley Jr. The Indiana Pacers were looking to add a pair of high-impact players, and there was mutual interest in Rubio joining his friend Bojan Bogdanovic on the team. But when Bogdanovic agreed to a four-year deal with the Jazz, Rubio questioned if Indiana was the right fit for him.
