Remember when Dennis Shroder turned down $84m for 4 years and ended up getting $6m for 1? Pepperidge Farm remembers

Is someone out here really going to pay him more than 40mil?

Maybe there's a team out there that missed that series against the Heat this year? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wonder if he turned it down to sign a longer contract for less annually but more total.

That'd really be betting against himself.

I mean, he keeps getting injured, he looks like he lost a step, and he isn't getting any younger.

This just makes me believe that he isn’t confident in his health long term. He’s turning down money now to get a long term deal.

This is the answer. We Bucks fans all expected this.

Is he now a Restricted FA? Or Unrestricted?

UFA. Any team can make an offer
