wish the terms were cheaper though
I was shocked by how well Rose played last year. After his first go around I wanted no part of him and he proved me wrong. However, Three years with his history is irresponsible from this front office.
irresponsible? he's changed his game. he's shooting more reliably from the outside; he's scoring with push shots and mid range. His game has a longevity it didn't in his earlier years.
one can argue that's a lot of money for a guy who hopefully plays 20 minutes, but i don't think the deal is irresponsible. CP3 is getting 40 mill/yr as a 36 year old. Kawhi is probably going to make more and miss the year and then come back from another significant injury.
