Here's what I don't get about BC handling of Sam Mitchell's contract.
Sam was on a short leash last year for obvious reasons; he wasn't
Colangelo's choice, we were sucking, etc. Colangelo's response was
"Let's re-evaluate at the end of the season".
But he won COY, which meant Colangelo was basically stuck with him.
Given that, and that Colangelo was looking to 'evaluate' the guy, why
would he sign him to more than 1 year? I don't think Sam would have
signed elsewhere had it been 1 year deal.
But now we're kind of stuck with the guy. Even if he's fired, we'll
owe him money right?
