He goes from good, to below average across the board. $20 million to get a guy who gives you 16.8 ppg on 41% shooting, for a guy who has given a grand total of 1.9 total win shares in his playoff career.
Now, Amare, in 60 playoff games, and 624 regular season games, goes from a PER of 22.2 to 22.6. TS% stays around the same. Offensive rating stays the same. WS/48 drops by 1/100th of a point. 23/9 on 50% shooting, contributing 7.5 win shares in the same amount of playoff games.
Very distinct difference.
Who pays attention to all of that? Those stats mean nothing. They are made up by someone. Thats the problem with you sometimes you look to much into those kind of stats instead of just watching the game and seeing for yourself. A person can have those stats and hit a game winner and thats all that matters.
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
