Passed over by every team in the NBA Draft, Rashard Lewis made it his mission to get back at every last franchise. With that mission now accomplished (and over 100 mil coming his way) Lewis is playing solely for a ring now.–Tzvi Twersky

    Definitely not worth his contract (even though I was a Sonic fan)… 100 mill contracts are for franchise players.. He is a second option at best.
