22 million?

Seems like an over-payment, but the fourth's only partially guaranteed. Shooters are a commodity in the league today- Clips just traded their best asset for Redick and Dudley.

I think Wall wanted Webster here and he may take a million less than max when it's time to ante up (so it may wash out with the slight discount).

Martell Webster is kind of the Rex Grossman of the Wizards. Very few people outside the team facilities understand why he's there, but his teammates love him. That said...with Wall and Beal being so young, it's hard to believe Webster himself is only 26 himself

I was on the fence with this move, but Id like to see us keep Webster. Think there is growth yet in his game. Seems like a little much, but im good with it.

I don't watch much basketball (NBA that is) but I got the impression that Martell Webster was just a solid player who turned into one of the few bright spots on such a bad team, that the fans over hyped him and his value.

I'm satisfied with the Webster deal.

He shot over 42% from behind the arc last year (including a crazy 58.5% from the right side) and that is an essential part of a team with Wall's ability to dribble penetrate and kick the ball out. He's also a great locker room guy and relatively young. Webster's versatility is huge, too, since he can play significant minutes at the two, if needed, which is important with Porter and Ariza both needing minutes this year.

If his back problems come back this will be called a bad deal, but as it stands right now, I'm happy with it. Also, based on comparable contracts, the partial guarantee is probably somewhere between $1M and $2M, so we can just buy him out that fourth year if needed.

Nice breakdown. Korver just got 4/24. I'd rather have Webster.

I like it. They've been burned by a college coach before, but Stevens represents young blood. Celts in full rebuild mode and the Stevens hiring is a statement. Rondo's gone by the trade deadline, imo.

Rondo will probably stay actually, he's young still and a top PG
