    Corliss Williamson @ 4.5M is about right. He's a solid 6th man who can score inside. Being deemed the next Barkley never happened, but Corliss is on the perfect team right now and is thriving in Detroit.

    Next Player: Shareef @ 12.4M

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "shapecity":</div><div class="quote_post">Kenny Anderson was the reason the Celtics beat the Pistons. I do agree he is not better than Bibby, but Anderson did a great job running the C's offense and creating high % shots for his teammates. Kenny never lived up to his hype and is overpaid, but he was definately a factor in last year's playoffs.</div>
    I was going to post the same thing. He is the main reason the Celts beat the Pistons so easily. He penetrated and killed us with mid-range shots, or dished off to an open guy. He's the reason the Pistons made an upgrade this offseason at PG. Then the Celts deal him away for Vin Baker? That one blew me away. They already had one soft PF, why get another one for your only PG. Bremer has been unimpressive so far.

    And I agree that Shareef is overpaid. He puts up nice numbers, but he's never been on a decent team, which may say something about him.

    not true. not true at all.. the celtics won that series (besides the simple fact they were just the better team) because of pierce and walker same reason they ever win any of their games. if kenny was so damn good why are the celts better without him even with subpar performances from pierce and some of the others?

    What game were you watching? The Celtics role players put the Pistons away. And just like Big D stated, why the Pistons pursued Billups was to match up with Kenny in case they met again.

    With Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker plagued by foul trouble for much of the fourth quarter, the role players kept the Celtics on top. Kenny Anderson and Rodney Rogers combined for 13 clutch points in the final stanza as Boston clinched a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals

    Yes Kenny Anderson is OVERPAID, we all agree on that.

    he played well in the series ill give him that but no one in the right mind thinks HES THE reason they won. his absence wont make much of a difference if the two teams meet again this year. boston is a better team for his absence and the emergence of JR bremer. unfortunatley for celtic fans tthat strength is overcome by how much weaker they are with presence of vin baker...


    how about Vince Carter.......

    Duncan makes 12M a year, and is worth it.
