Hope that's guaranteed for the little fella.

Awesome job in a tough situation while he was here.

Happy he has landed okay and can continue in the NBA.

I like the guy, and gl to him, but personally I think it would have made more sense to try his luck in Europe.
He could be a starter in a good team and compete for championships.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Some people here seemed to believe he wasn't going to be on any team in the league.

Awesome!  Good for him.  I think he'll have a long career as a backup.  Must be a great guy to go against in practice.

We should flip the game and put an ad in the Globe to thank him.

Would be great fun to have him at Panathinaikos, esp now that Diamantidis is about to retire.
But I was thinking more of a weaker championship, say Serbia or Italy where he could even be the star of his team.

One thing to say though, now one paid much attention to the Wallace departure.

This last year he behaved like a real pro, and was a true gentleman despite getting virtually no playing time.

Don't you think that's what he expected, though? He also got paid handsomely for his role, and his contract brought Lee to Boston. Mutual benefit.

he did ruin James Young's reputation though. Him saying Young wasn't putting the work in did wonders for his career  :'( :'( :'(
