Bradley to Portland, Ayon to Washington

Two more Ballers Inc. clients were taken off the market on Thursday, as Avery Bradley resigned with the Portland Trail Blazers and Gustavo Ayon inked a new deal with the Washington Wizards.

Both will receive some nice pay days, as Bradley will make $35 million over 5 years, for $7 million a year and Ayon over $10 million for four years, with a team option in the fourth year.

Bradley averaged almost 12 points in just 24 minutes last season, but with Tyreke Evans out of Portland, he figures to get the starting nod and a minutes increase this season. Ayon averaged around 4 points and 4 rebounds a game in 16 minutes last season.

Bradley is a real good player to have. Good value for him and if I had cap space I would have offered him a deal.

Love that Lillard - Bradley tandem, one of the reason I expect this Blazers team to succeed this coming season.
Don't know why it took so long, I couldn't see Portland losing him.

Gustavo Ayon at $10Mper/4yrs is probably the worst contract signed this offseason while Bradley signed for less than I thought it'd take but being a RFA teams were likely scared off by that and didn't wanna offer too high a contract.

I think (hope) its 10m in total

$10m total - haha. Not per.

As a Celtic fan in real life I love Avery Bradley and hope he and Lillard can become a great pairing for you.

Lol, read it as $10M for 4yrs not over lol

And it's still not a good contract honestly at $2.5Mper/ 4yrs but nowhere near as bad as I initially thought.

He is however this yrs Aaron Gray.

Hahahaha - the Aaron Gray Award!

  that's a great idea, Smitty and Mindy Mindy might have to use that phrase  

Good signing by POR, Bradley is a nice compliment to Lillard. He'll have more offensive responsibility with Reke gone.
