On another thread, someone compared Scalabrine to Ryan Bowen. I found it to be a very fair comparison of skills. The only problem is that Bowen makes $1,033,930 compared to Scalabrine's $3,000,000 salary that last 2 more years.

So I guess what I am saying is if Scalabine made Ryan Bowen money no-one would care.

Absolutely.  But the one people should have problem with is Ainge, who gave him more than market value.  Scal is doing everything that is asked of him.  He doesn't deserve praise, but he also doesn't deserve the venom that he gets either.

I remember Travis Knight making a similar comment about his own contract and Pitno. But I always held a grudge against him. I think it is just human nature.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

  • You know my methods, Watson.
we all know that jason kidd made scalabrine what he is...danny, foolishly, overpaid to get him.  the worst part is not the money, but the LENGTH of the deal.

ironically, i wouldn't want jason kidd today either...
