Portis may have left a lot of money on the table fresh off of winning a championship by re-signing with the Bucks on a deal that paid him $4.3 million. It was the most they were allowed to pay him through his Non-Bird rights, which allowed them to use their MLE to bring back George Hill. Portis is now set to become an Early Bird free agent, allowing the Bucks to re-sign him for up to four years, projected at $59 million. They now have a chance to re-sign him to a deal that properly pays him if he opts out, and offers for him should exceed his player option amount.
