With a thinned-out market of free agent suitors after two-and-a-half weeks of fast-paced movement in the offseason market, sharpshooter Jason Terry could be next in the eyes of many teams looking for his long-range services.
According to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times, while many expect him to stay put at the age of 39 and play his remaining season with the Milwaukee Bucks, it's likely he can receive offers from other teams.
“Jason Terry also made an appearance at the Summer League and, while it is generally assumed he’ll return to the Bucks for another season, it’s far from a slam dunk,” wrote Woelfel. “According to league sources, the 39-year-old Terry, who gave the Bucks some quality leadership and three-point shooting last season, has drawn interest from some other teams. An official with a Western Conference playoff-caliber team, who requested anonymity, confirmed his team is contemplating extending Terry a contract offer.”
Most teams would only offer the cagey veteran a minimum contract of $2.3 million, which means there's no profit to be reaped from going elsewhere — just the mere potential of having a bigger role and potentially contending for a championship, if a contender extends an offer.
As a backup point man in Milwaukee, Terry connected on 42 percent of his three-point attempts — doing so in 18 minutes per game. While he is comfortable in a Bucks' uniform, he might pursue other offers if he feels “The Jet” has more fuel to burn.
