Sign-and-trade imminent: Lewis' contract is INSANE

Re: Sign-and-trade imminent: Lewis' contract is INSANE

Wow! Lewis's contract is crazy! He's good but he's not worth that much, he doesn't even play defense.

How in the world do you overpay somebody by not just a FEW million but by 60 million? This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

"My goal is to win a Championship, keeping Dwight helps with that goal." - Rashard Lewis. I thought everyone could use a laugh. I heard him say that on the radio yesterday.

This dude better be hard workin in the gym everyday for 12 hours straight for the start of the year. Because if he doesn't average 25PPG and take the Orlando Magic to a #1 or #2 seed in the east, the dude wasn't worth half of that contract. I'm just in shock how you give a mediocre player that much and can justify it. The guy would be a little overpaid at 6 years and 60 million a year. Billups is one of the best PG's in the league and he only got 5 years and 60..how do you give Rashard Lewis 6 and 120? It's sad the MLE was already set this could have boosted it up a few million...christ.You can't be mad at Rashard or dislike him for it, the only people you can point the finger at is the Orlando Magic. Yeah we think you're worth 6 years and 50 million. Hmm why don't you make it 6 years and 120 million and we got a deal. DEAL!IDIOTS.

From the press conference:

"Back in Seattle in the Northwest, I wasn't really recognized. Here, I can make the playoffs and people will say my name... that's what I'm tryin' to do."

He'll get his 20 ppg, but he doesn't do much else...ridiculous contract...</div>Lets see what Rashard Lewis accomplished Last Season with the Seattle Supersonic a team that was the 5th lowest rebounding team in the league and now in Orlando a team who is 16th in the league in rebounds this gives Rashard Lewis to become a Freedom Shooting Guard allowed to release the trigger when his big man Dwight Howard is under the rim and in position for a rebound.anyways back to Rashard Lewis' Stats of last yearPG: 22.4APG: 2.4RPG: 6.6TO: 1.97 FG%: 46.1%FT%: 84.1%3FG%: 39%There is no doubt about it he is just a scorer and the last scorer I had seen gain around this amount was Allen Houston and at least he was a clutch player and was going to become the franchise player (Sadly Health was an obstacle that Allen Houston could not evade).Too much and just like the people in ESPN said this is insane for a guy they could of had for 50M less.
