Supposing he latches on with the Celtics and does a respectable job, what kind of contract would he deserve this summer? The midlevel? Less? Every dollar that some EuroLeague owner has? It’s a situation that’s entirely dependent on random, chaotic circumstances, and I’m not putting my money down on any particular outcome. Matt called Rafer Alston a 'wild card' for the Magic, and to an extent he is, but is there a bigger question mark in this league than ...
