For reference, Jaylen Brown got a 4/107 contract.
Yes coming off a season in which he averaged 13.0 p, 4.2 r, 1.4 a with a TS% of 54.7.  Now he was 22 and just finished year 3, but there is a reason Brown is now underpaid i.e. he made a huge leap that not even he predicted he would make (or he wouldn't have signed that contract).
Irrelevant, as that wasn't my point. My point was that we have Brown on a bargain.
Oh yes Brown is on a bargain because his production at the point he signed the contract wasn't great.  Obviously the team expected him to improve (you don't pay 27 million a year for a 13/4/1.5 type player), but I don't think anyone would have predicted just how big a leap he took the last 2 seasons (and obviously Brown himself didn't or he would have just gone to restricted free agency).  But that is the thing with contracts, you pay for what you think you are going to be getting.  If Rozier continues to shoot well and put up around 20/4/4 then 25 million a year will be a very good contract for him given his ball handling, solid defense, etc. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah

I mean, I agree that the people complaining the loudest didn't know what they were looking at. Letting Terry walk probably cost the team a Finals appearance.

Which year?

I would think last year when we lost to Miami. Walker was a weak link in that series. I could see how Rozier could have made a difference. Taking into account the salary difference, the Celtics could have had another respectable role player on the roster as well.
