Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

"I’ve seen comments saying that this move has come a little too late, but that misses the point that it’s a move that shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place. There were zero indications that Guillen would produce value remotely approaching his contract. It was a foolish contract signing from the beginning, and the Royals realized nothing from it. His time in Kansas City resulted in -1.2 WAR. If players were compensated with WAR Dollars, he’d owe the club $5.9 million."

Don't worry guys, I'm sure Guillen already put the check in the mail...

"It was a foolish contract signing from the beginning"

This may be true, but there were many who had zero problem w/ this contract at the time. Including many here, whether they will admit that or not (i was one that didn’t have much of a problem, i will admit). In just looking through some archives around the ‘net, there’s a lot of hindsight w/ this deal.

Really? I can't remember anyone who thought 3/36 was a good idea at anytime.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

I don't get it.

He’s pretty much saying Guillen sucks?

that's because i posted the wrong one

and this makes him saying Guillen sucks even more funny, and that’s my point.

So he changed his mind a year later?

True, he though 3/30 would be fair and that’s not a whole lot better than 3/36. I think a lot of the hate comes from the fact that GMDM wouldn’t acknowledge at all how bad the contract eventually became.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
