Welcome back everybody my name is Tucker, this is Sporting Logically, and today I wanted to talk about 4 upcoming free agents in the Eastern Conference Playoffs that could get PAID as a result of a big time showing in the postseason. To be clear, I am looking more at players like Kelly Olynyk for the Celtics last season, who was a known contributor to the team, but as a result of a few huge performances in the playoffs, was able to cash in in a big way in free agency, signing with the Miami Heat. Obviously upcoming free agents like DeMarcus Cousins and Paul George are going to get huge contracts this summer, so this list focuses on some of those other guys that could really increase their value over the next few weeks. A few things to keep in mind, each of these guys are going to be free agents this coming summer, either restricted or unrestricted, and each of them play for teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs... I will be doing a separate list for the West later in the week. Alright, with all of that out of the way, let’s get started.
