I spent the past few days at Summer League and was blown away by what I saw. Had the opportunity to speak with him briefly and he seemed like a really solid guy. Very down to earth and approachable. While I was watching the Raptors game he was 3 rows in front of me. Fans (mostly kids) were running up to him all game trying to get his autograph or a picture with him. Security kept attempting to keep the fans away, but this did not deter Fields.
The security guard was standing behind him. Whenever she would turn one way, he would quickly go to the other side and keep signing and getting in pictures. If she turned around again, he would immediately do the same. He kept trying to interact with the fans as much as possible.
Once security was able to prevent the fans from approaching (sending about 8 kids away), both Fields and Lowry went into the stands to sit with the kids for a few minutes and quick sign some autographs.
I'm a big fan of the character that we have added to the Raptors this off-season.

I know that Landry's signing will always have that stigma as part of a failed Nash move but he is a great guy to have on a team. I think he can play to that contract. Prior to last years playoffs nobody in hell would give Javale Mcgee 11 million per season yet we are the laughing stock of the league for paying some guy 6.3 per. Which is less than we were paying for Barbosa. I like what Fields brings a lot more than what Barbosa brought with his hero ball. Take a look at the guys in that 6m range and it doesn't seem so bad.
All the interviews he seems like he is pretty happy to get out of that circus in NY. A fresh start here and he should be able to build upon that rookie season in a basketball system that is better for him than whatever the hell was going on in NY.

Pretty sure they made 4 of those in TOTAL, and he had make due.

The frustrating thing for me is not the fact that we had to pay 6+ for Fields, but that LA gets Antawn Jamison for less than 2 million a season - the rich get richer.
