In retrospect, everyone should have seen this deal coming a mile away. Backes was going to get signed on his strength of character and other intangibles, and Boston is the kind of team that does that.
strong possibility.
so that's what they're paying 40 points these days?
Why the **** didn't we keep Loui.
Seems like a weird place for him to sign. Surprised he didn't go to a team needing a center.
Awful overpayment for an old and overrated average player
This is a bad deal. I've watched Backes in the West the past few years and his game has regressed. He's definitely not a 6M player and that 5 year term is gross.
