Check out Nick’s piece on Hill. Not only does he do a great job of pointing out some ways to look at Hill in context, some of what he says butts right up to this theory nicely. He also raises a nice point about the contract, and that is: it’s done. We’ve heard good and bad points about sunk costs and possible failure to properly consider this. Hill’s contract is a sunk cost. It does not enter in to how good of a player he is on this roster. It might affect evaluation of who gave it (Dell), and it might factor into comparisons to properly couched “road not taken” scenarios, but it does not affect evaluation of Hill himself.
