Well, but it’s just two different ways of looking at the same thing, yeah? The contract he got from Houston wasn’t a max or anything close. Unless you think he just wanted to play in Houston (I suppose that’s possible) then it seems clear that Detroit didn’t value him as highly as the contract he got, which, again, was less significant than what fans expected him to get at the time.
