I kinda like ET. He does bring some grit to the team. Not sure it's 17 million worth of grit but he does show some spirit.
You bet that you could mow his lawn in an hour - he said "Fine, if you win I'll put these nasty ass laker license plates on my car"
ET is a solid player. I would definitely like to keep him around. He adjusted to his role pretty well in one season here, and with his ability to go to work in isolation and make plays for teammates he is definitely somebody who can create match up problems for his opponents.
After that horrendous night he was leaving town not embracing it. Those fourth Q free throws cost us a chance and the owners 63k each shot Horizontal Axis =E.T
ET has been pretty decent in the playoffs -- shooting like shit from the field (actually decent from 3), but doing everything else. 11/7/5 in 34 mpg.
I actually don't mind him. I'm not sure he's exactly what we need, but I'd keep him over Crabbe and Leonard for sure.
