The term gives us a chance at a bargain deal in years 3 and 4, while the money isn't enough to be crippling. I'm glad it's not 8 years like KK got, and a two year deal doesn't have that much upside in my mind - if he does well we have to give him a big raise right away. At his age and pedigree we should still be able to trade him if he's a bust.
If anything it was a mistake to trade the pick we got for Romy, not Romy himself.
