He's only a "rotation caliber center" if he can actually play. I hear you about the offers being higher if he was healthy, but that's not the reality of it. I think 8M is a bit high for a guy who has missed 40%+ of games almost every year, regardless of his talent (unless he's a legitimate star, I guess).
I'm not disappointed in the deal, though. It's a coup considering our options at this point. It makes us better. I'm just not blown away, or anything.
