who is the best "low risk - high reward" FA signing ever

[makaveli]

looking at the McGee signing for the GSW made me think, what team made the best signing of this type all time

for the celtics as far i can remember we had some guys over the last few years, none of them really panned out as a high reward material, Marbury for example.

In recent years it has to be Hassan Whiteside to Miami, right?

If by low risk you mean financial costs then I reckon Wgiteside fits.

[NHCelticsFan]

ET seems to fit the bill.

Bruce Bowen

[Surferdad]

Shaquille O'Neal

[Rhyso]

Shaquille O'Neal

When he signed with us? It was until Danny traded Perk... still mad about that one.

[Csfan1984]

Shaq, beast to start the year but then gave up after he was injured.

[Moranis]

yeah Whiteside is clearly the most recent guy that fits that.

[mgent]

Gerald Green.

Evan "The President" Turner.

I really miss him and his quotes. I know we don't do video tributes to guys who haven't won a championship here, but I really want us to treat him well when the Blazers come to Boston.

 I think this is slightly awkwardly worded. When Bron went to Miami I saw no real risk for Miami, but tons of reward. But I don't think that's what this means

yeah I took it to mean a guy that bounced around awhile and you got cheap that ended up great.  Not things like Shaq to LA, Lebron to Miami/Cleveland, etc.

I mentioned Whiteside, but I think Chauncey Billups in Detroit is another good one.

Kinda surprised to not see John Starks' name come up so far.  He made an All-Star game, an All-Defensive team, and 6th Man of the Year for the Knicks after being out of the league.

Whiteside's got to be up there. Even if you're not a big a fan of his (I'm not), Whiteside blossomed from a minimum guy to a max player. It can't really go any better than that.
