    I made a video for Przybilla once that made him look like Dwight Howard.

    I want to see a video that makes it look like Oden fouls about as much as Camby.

    So I take it, with those distributing skills, he won't be playing PG anytime soon?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Hopefully, they don't turn on him. Even if he never lives up to his contract, it's really not his fault. Who among us would turn down a full MLE deal in his place, perhaps saying, "Well, if you go by PER, I don't really deserve this...please offer me less?" As long as he plays his best, he's in the clear as far as I'm concerned.

    The decision-maker(s) who decided to sign Matthews for that much money? They're open game, in my opinion, if he fails to live up to the salary (counting it as MLE each year). And they deserve a lot of credit if he turns out to be a solid or good player.

    Pretty much my opinion as well. However, being a little more specific about "playing his best"... WM was brought in with the idea of playing hard, with tough defense. If he puts in the effort, and plays hard-nosed defense, he won't be getting much criticism from me.
