[Himmelsbach] According to one source, Rozier is determined to become a starting point guard in the NBA, and next summer will seek the minutes and money of a starter, perhaps in the $20 million-per-season range.
not surprised. he has the opportunity to cash in. he isn't turning that down at 25 to get his biggest long term deal
If I were Boston, I'd try to keep him over Kyrie. Who is either; leaving to play elsewhere or too oft-injured of a player, to help them win anything.
Kryie already said he's gonna resign. It would hurt his image bad if he renege on that, which I don't think he will. I think Kryie won't have any injury problems. Last couple times, just a fluke injury imo
worked for guys like jackson, schroder, bledsoe. guys that break out off the bench, then venture off to the $ they're looking for or atleast close to it. If rozier continues to play as well as he did in the playoffs this year, that big contract is well on its way. he definitely has some motivation here
kyrie told some kids in cleveland he wouldn't leave a couple years ago. a lot can happen. in this era, you can't really take what players say they will or will not do that seriously anymore
It's possible i guess, still, we'll see if teams learned something by paying big money guys like Jackson, Teague, Schroder. I'm not sure Rozier is better, for me he just plays in a better enviroment.
yeah i think hes good but starter for a good winning team in the long run, im not so sure. But we do know teams tend to pay to find out, especially if they have that position to fill and haven't been able to do so for a long time
That doesn't mean anything. How many free agents have committed to signing with a team while reneging on their word (DeAndre Jordan, huge example) during the free agency process? I wouldn't take anyone for their word, especially not in the NBA. Remember it's a business. So it was a fluke when he was injured multiple times for long stretches in Cleveland, including the first Finals matchup against the GSW? That's no fluke, he is an injury prone PG. That's a fact.
I understand but that Celtics organization is class act. Cleveland with Lebron and Gilbert wasn't. Kryie told the whole arena before a game and not just a few kids. Big difference
Ummmm....not many... How many more examples besides Jordan can you name? The reason that was such big news is because it was so unheard of.
All I'm saying is wait a while before you conclude Rozier won't re-sign with the Celtics. Let things play out this season. Danny Ainge has a choice between Scary Terry and Kyrie next summer. Just keep an open mind on what might happen.
The most recent was Yogi Ferrell. Chris Bosh did the same to us prior to resigning with the Heat. Chandler Parsons was another guy that was planning on signing with us until Cuban took him to that club and had him sign on the dotted line to outbid us. Those are the most recent reported that I can recall.
Class act? Who? Boston? AHAHAHAHAHAHAH There isn't another team in the league that is more coldblooded, only business and assholish! Danny Ainge a clas sact..lol!! There's a chance that no matter what Kyrie says he has a serious injury and they let him go.
