He wouldn't have agreed to that extension and probably would've bet on himself with numbers to back up his demand for higher pay possibly elsewhere. Someone would have priced them out in RFA. By "playing him behind vets," they were able to evaluate him behind the scenes while keeping his market value low. They kinda did the same with Timelord (though injuries were a factor in his RFA too) who played behind the likes of Theis, Baynes, Thompson, and Kanter.
So thank you Smart and Brogdon, I guess. Pritchard is playing like a starter-calibre player on low-level role player money. He keeps this up and stays healthy, someone might back the Brinks truck up on his next contract (UFA).
2028 is still a long way to go.
Captain Obvious really needs to reply to everything, adding essentially nothing.
Yeah, like talking about a Brinks truck that will not come until 2028 will add something to 2025, 2026, and 2027.
