Blackcat, when something like this happens, it rips your heart out. I have lost several teammates but the first one
was a year or two out of college. It was a horrible accident and the circumstances were beyond horrible. Like you,
I think about him and the others every day. Its something that you never get over.
How about when a college coach took a recruit to an undisclosed location for the entire week before signing date so no other coaches could
find him to continue to recruit him.
yes but we still had peach baskets. That game against Baylor, we kicked the crap out of them, 18-12. We were running Shaka's offense before he did.
BTW, you have been demoted and are now Pvt 1st Class Slaughter.
Beating UH in Las Cruces. I believe we were 20 point underdogs.
Beating Memphis State at their place the year they got to the finals against UCLA and Walton.
Coming back from 17 down at halftime at the Holler House to win going away,
Beating Baylor at the HOT to clinch the SWC championship.
How many of those years was his first contract? If Boston was his second contract, its not promising
which I think is the point of this discussion, getting to the second contract. If his second contract was before
he signed with Boston, then it probably worked out well for him.
I don't disagree but there are no guarantees of a second contract. I read that Jabari Parker, the number 2 pick in the draft a few years ago
just signed his second contract with Boston. Supposedly its for 2 years for I think about 2 million. The article didn't give a specific amount.
Instead it said something like if he is still on the team in July he gets 100k. If he does this and that, he gets another amount. It didn't sound too
too promising but maybe someone saw a specific number. The Williams kid from Arizona who was also a number 2 pick a couple of years
earlier was on 5 different teams in 5 years and his second contract was a 10 day contract with Cleveland. Hopefully he signed another one
that was better. I agree that you play for a second contract but how you play during your first contract determines a second one. You're right about
GB and I hope it works out for him.
Brown needs to come back and develop a game. If he does that and becomes a high draft pick, his contract should make up for the difference from what he would get coming out now if the info that he will be drafted in the second half of the first round is accurate. Also the NBA is full of great athletes but there is no guarantee of a second contract.
You want to contribute as quickly as is possible. The G league is certainly an option but starting in the league and staying there is a better one. I hope the young man sees that. Assuming that I am correct in my assessment.
Thats incredibly weak. I am all for objectivity. There's nothing wrong with that. That was my point. Give the kids a chance to prove if everyone is right or wrong about them. And, I hope that you make it to my age.
I knew that when I posted, your sorry ass would appear in minutes. I am living rent free in your head but there is plenty of space because there isn't anything in there. That game was how long ago? 3.4.5 years ago? I was asked what I thought about that move. I responded and it turned out it was something else. But I realize how desperate you are for a moral victory so congrats. Maybe someone will throw you a parade.
