Does anyone remember the apologists after the Hedo signing?
"B-b-b-but.. Portland made a similar offer first!"
That's the same thing as what we're getting now with the comparisons of other players getting similar deals. Hedo was good for literally 1 year in his career and somehow we gave him $50M. DeRozan has been good for none of his years.your pal,

On the contract itself, I think it's an overpayment of about $1.5 million per year, which wouldn't be huge cause for concern except that our roster is full of slight overpayments. Amir's just a little overpaid, Fields is just a little overpaid, Kleiza's just a little overpaid. All those little overpayments add up. If anything, I think this move probably increases the likelihood of them using the amnesty provision in the offseason. They'll need the flexibility.

I will continue to cheer for DeMar and hope he adds one or two skills to his game. I wish I could see a marker that would tell me this was definitely a possibility.
I am not a fan of The Spin Doctor and the Fields and DeRozan contracts did not change my position. All this flexibility poof, gone, for marginal starters who will either need to improve significantly or be replaced for the team to have any chance of contending for a title. It hurts even more that they were signed by 3 and 4 years respectively.
I am a sad panda today.
I will ask my wife to cheer me up and hope she comes up with something fun.

I think it's a bit of a risk, but that's the game.
Hence why I'm trying to stay out of this. Far too much Haterade in these threads for my liking. Haha
