*Phew* I always thought there was a small chance he would Monroe us.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Don't particularly like the PO after year 4, but glad to have him locked up.

i'm glad Drummond signed with Detroit long term. I think its good for both sides. Its expensive for sure, but thats the going rate.
