I feel pretty good about saying he's not a good player nor is giving him a bunch of money a good idea.
hah come on saying the celts were an underdog in round 1 is somehow supposed to undermine that they were a good team?
he was a good player on a good team
you can argue that its a bad deal. i mean i thought hed get around 12 mill a year, woulda been happy to pay him at 8, but if they projected the cap is going up, then 15 could be close to reality, if they view he can improve, which i think he was

STOTTS played a huge part in that. He had a strong case for COY if GS didn't have that record setting season.
i dont have a problem with stottts, i have a problem with the media and COTY voters pretending he is better than brad stevens
i thought this thread used to make fun of people when they cast terrible votes on end of year awards
