We have the best record in the east while being 18th in total contracts $. If you remove Haywards 30 mil, we're the 3rd lowest after Chicago and Dallas. That is the basis for Stevens coach of the year argument.
The last Zach Lowe podcast I listened to (I think with Jeff Van Gundy) Lowe said something like "Brad Stevens basically has Coach of the Year wrapped up." It took me by surprise a bit just because of how blunt he was about it. It would be a nice recognition after this season, for sure.
