Can you guys remember that people used to think he was good? I remember last year people on this forum tried to defend him and kept saying "he was in the running for 6th man of the year!" because he had one decent month of basketball at the very beginning of the season.
The green goggles can screw with ya.
He was in the running for the 6th man of the year, the way he played on the back end of our 2010 season, and in the playoffs, followed up by the first half of last season, he played terrific ball for us, bought in to the whole team concept, and gave us exactly what we needed.
I think being on a contract year really screwed with his head that second half of the season/playoffs, he was trying to do wayyyyyyy too much rather than just keeping it simple, and it seriously hurt his value/our chances.
We shouldn't sell him short though, when he was on his game, he was a perfect fit for us, he just got too big for his boots.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Brandon Bass trade, worked out absolutely perfect for us! I am just saying that we shouldn't forget the good things Baby did do for us as well, as I know I have at times too.
