Who considers the Nets rich? His contract isn't guarenteed, so he basically has to play his way onto the team & probably be a model citizen in the process. I like the signing though for both sides.
Two years ago, there were people here who wanted the Rockets to trade for this guy. Still haven't figured that out.
