espn had also overrated this FA, by a landslide. They projected Patty to be between 12-17 m initially (b4 FA truly began) so him signing on the low end of their estimated figure made the contract look good devoid of any context.
Once we look at the landscape and context, it changes things, not just because so many better guards went for comparable figures, but also bc of the length of the contract, and the fact the Spurs have drafted point guards twice in consecutive seasons, and have prospects that are very similar to Patty already for a fraction of his contract.
