but the market is the market. I think ppl are dramatically overestimating the guy's value.

personally I tend to err on the side of "the ppl actually involved have way more information than I do", and if this is all they got, that alone tells you what kind of offers they were looking at.

guys like mitch kupchak and danny ainge weren't about to empty their coffers and give up a ton of assets for this crazy bastard, man. lol. even as talented as he is.

I'm sure they got some offers that were comparable or even a little better overall, but I guess they viewed hield as the best individual asset of all the packages and decided to go in that direction. I'm not defending the sac FO, they're clearly incompetent. i'm just pushing back on this idea that there were these far greater offers out there to be had.

the league has spoken loud and clear on what they think of this guy.
