I will say this...and maybe people forget cause it was long ago...but had the stoppage never happened, this club was far from guaranteed a playoff spot. In fact they were in a fight for their playoff lives. Part of that struggle was Bennett who was contributing next to nothing (not the only guy but certainly part of it)....and is that not who this entire thread is about?
It's remarkable to me that a guy who averages 29 points a season has people doing mental gymnastics to defend him as the second coming himself because he has been tremendous in the playoffs. Its just weird.
Hopefully this time (6th times a charm right?) he figures out how to play in the regular season (cause again you need to get into the playoffs to perform well in them) and earns not just his current salary but a healthy raise. But if there are people that are hesitant that it happens, you can hardly blame them based of Sams very own history.
