I think Avery Bradley had the same reaction from fans when he signed a big contract from Ainge.
Actually the worst take of all time was someone saying before last season that Pritchard was the Mac Jones of the NBA and gets worse every year. Unfortunately that was me. I said that.
I still honestly don’t think he’s a starter for a *good* team, but he’s a very high-end role player, a guy that can play key minutes in spots, and who can catch fire and legitimately give a team 20-30 on occasion.
the contract should not have been surprising or confusing to anyone. $7.5M in a league where stars are making $50M+ is chump change in the grand scheme of things. Soon, we’ll be seeing max deals hit up to $70M/year. paying a really skilled 6th-7th guy on a championship team 1/10th of what you pay a superstar should be the standard, not an exception.
I remember seeing this comment, downvoting, and then immediately made a second account to downvote again lol
It was downvoted. Who cares?
He was hated pretty aggressively here. Turned out it was a confidence thing. He also was always stuck in the corner and would have like one decent three shot from there when he got minutes. He played timid. When he got the ball he always looked to pass and never drove. He was believed in by front office and coaching and got his mojo. A really great fucking story not to give up when u see talent and ignore fans and journalists as they’re not in practice everyday
I remember a lot of people wanting to trade him because he deserved the extra playing time. The absolute worst reason to ever trade someone
I didn’t think it was an overpay at the time (that was kind of the market rate for a rotation player)… But I also never thought this dude would play at this level. He’s showing this year he is certainly a starter in the NBA
OP just wanted to flex his comment lmao
Who gives a shit
They are just paying him the money he’s saved us. Good move keeping him happy.
Almost every negative take since our playoff run last year has been so hilariously wrong its amazing to see
