Nate also cost 400% or more than any of those other players. If that tweet was directed at Ament, I’d expect it to mean that whoever the Vols are about to announce as his replacement is going to be a better return on investment.
It wasn't, if Rick thought Nate was a bad investment or overpriced he would have said it at some point throughout the year. Barnes doesn't sugar code anything, when he was frustrated with Ja'Kobi and his turnovers he made a joke that stirred the nest of point shaving...when he was frustrated with Chaz's lack of aggression he made it clear "that's what you're being paid for."
There is no reason to think Rick is taking vague potshots at a player he adores.
