I was reading hoopshype this morning and I came across these three headlines. They are hilarious.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"In his first appearance as a Celtic, Tom Gugliotta appeared more prop than player at a press conference yesterday afternoon. After director of basketball operations Danny Ainge spent all of three minutes discussing the Gary Payton trade next to an empty chair and a microphone, the team's PR staff paraded in Gugliotta, who signed a one-year deal worth $2.6 million with the Celtics yesterday." Boston Globe
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"That, anyway, was the theme when the Celtics director of basketball operations introduced Gugliotta, who yesterday signed a one-year deal with the Celtics for the veteran's minimum of $1.6 million." Boston Herald
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"A native of Huntington Station, N.Y., who starred at North Carolina State, Gugliotta's career was sidetracked three years ago by a devastating injury where he tore three ligaments in his left knee. The Celtics tested the knee yesterday and were satisfied enough to sign the 6-foot-10, 240-pounder to a one-year deal at just over $1 million." Providence Journal
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So how much is Tom Gugliotta making??? either 2.6 or 1.6 or just slightly over 1. I cant believe we take this stuff so seriously sometimes. :)

I would guess Vet min, but that isn't 1.6 million.....

1.6 million is the LLE. He definitely didn't get 2.6, no way anyone would give him that.
