Bucks Prepared Three-Year, $54M Extension Offer To Jabari Parker

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Milwaukee Bucks were prepared to offer Jabari Parker a three-year, $54 million extension before the start of the season. 

Parker sees himself as a max player and talks didn't lead anywhere even as he was recovering from the second torn ACL in his career.

Milwaukee's upper limit in annual salary was about $18 million per season.

Parker is set to return this week from his injury and will have suitors in free agency if he proves himself to be healthy.

Rumors are Utah will sign him to a max 4-year offer sheet and it will be up to Bucks whether to match it. Utah can afford to take the gamble since they are in a rebuilding phase but Jabari would give them a huge upside business wise being the biggest mormon star athlete playing in the largest majority mormon state in the US.

Thet should just trade him.

No team in the nba will offer him a max contract,bad health and limited talent.

eh em. Embiid.

Well, lets just see how he plays

[DCRYsing89]

I heard umours of he was happy to take 5-100mil, settle for a little under the max, but no less.
Kid didnt like his play style so they moved away from major negotiations.
I wonder with kid gone, if the rumours true if they will reopen talks.

[Mwd1981]

It would have to be a Embiid style contract wouldn't it?
