Yeah, probably correct. I'd rather have him at 3x4 than Poolman at 2.5x4, though.

I have words, but the filter will change them, so I won't bother typing them.

Low bar but I don't think this is worse than the Russel 4x4 deal.

And I don't think Hyman is worse than Lucic 6x7 deal.

But yeah, looooooow bar.

Even if he's demonstrated zero competence in over a decade, Holland is a proven winner. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Haha, isn't Holland the highest paid GM in the league too? The real question has always been WTF is Katz thinking hiring a GM with a terrible recent performance

If Holland's goal is to be a better GM than Chia, then he is just getting by. Hard not to draw a few parallels with his moves so far though.

Almost as bad as 18 year old high school drop outs making 150k a year on the patch.

Looking at the alternatives, I'd take this deal for Ceci over the Poolman, Hamonic, and Forbort deals. I'd have preferred Nemeth or Larsson. I'm not sure where I stand on it in relation to the Savard deal given how poor of a season he had last year.

It's all about that continuous improvement. Just need someone incrementally better than Holland next

I'd agree with you but 4 years? Hamonic at $3x 2 is a bit more palatable though I dothink Ceci is the better player.

Not with his injury history and the recent collapse of his play. Ceci is at least only 27. Not an ideal contract by any means, though.
