Editor’s note: The news that the Milwaukee Bucks had agreed to pay Gary Trent Jr. $64 million over four years broke during Las Vegas Summer League. We asked our NBA experts for their reaction to the signing:John Hollinger: Sitting in a row of media folks watching a summer league game as the news broke, it was amusing to see a conga line of people look at their phones, blurt “WHAT?!?!?” and then begin cackling.Gary Trent Jr. played his way out of the rotation on a bad team last season; suffice to say, it seemed unlikely he would generate a bidding war for much above the minimum salary. Yet Trent becomes one of the few players this offseason to get four fully guaranteed seasons in a market where most role players have been squeezed on both years and dollars.My BORD$ formula rated Trent as a minimum player, and that doesn’t seem like shocking information given that he was an unrestricted free agent each of the last two summers and signed for the minimum both times. His new contract, however, pays him the maximum amount for a player with early Bird rights. Again, who were the Bucks bidding against here? Jim Buss?I expect most league analytics and cap departments to rate Trent’s deal among the league’s most negative value propositions. He would have to seriously outrun expectations just for Milwaukee to break even.Mike Vorkunov: The contract is definitely … curious. It’s hard to explain in rational terms. Trent has been a declining player for several seasons. He signed a minimum contract with the Bucks and then posted his worst NBA season since he was on his rookie contract. He started just 21 games for a 32-win team. He averaged 8.1 points per game and his worst 3-point shooting numbers since he was a rookie. Go check out his career arc by DPM. It’s all not great.
