I was Like Wtf? Take less for the team? Really? lol.. Make the owners restructure that shit if they need to.. But get your $ Fam................................................This is real life, not some fantasy shit... Thats why saying someone doesnt care about winning because they took the bag hits me different.. lol Reminds me of my brother when he was a minor league pro hockey player in the mid 90s. I was his agent. He was making $600 per week plus room and board. He had a great season, was the team's best defenseman and they went to the league's final 4. He was in line for a nice pay raise. I was getting ready to start negotiations and my brother, without telling me, walks into the GM's office and tells them that he doesn't want a raise and instead he wants them to use that money to bring in better players to improve the team. I immediately resigned as his agent. The team signed him for the same $600, didn't bring in a single good player with the savings they got and the team had a much worse season. So stupid. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted July 8, 2022 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I will never, ever blame a player in any pro sport for getting as much $$$ as they can get. Only a fool turns down money that can not only guarantee their future but if managed right their kids and their grand kids as well. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came on to poopop the signing, but he was actually pretty decent-to-good at times last season. Good, serviceable big.

thecampster Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Anyone know how he's recovered from that injury. If healthy, that's a quality piece to add. Very versatile big. I wanted him in the draft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted July 8, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 He's perfectly fine as a third big man or the rare times we need to put a true big on someone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wagering it's just a half-step above a training camp invite. (2022-23 version of Jahlil Okafor in that way.) (Avatar bet anyone???) I get the signing, I suppose... Poor Destitute Man's Gallo, imo. Why not take a chance. But I think there's at least one more big who will be acquired and get at least as much of a chance.

Maybe a late January guarantee like TLC and Solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to check me on this (as if you need permission... hehe... ) but purty sure TLC's contract initially was non-guaranteed. It was only after Okafor was released and TLC had won that 15th roster slot that they amended his contract to partial guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I remember it - TLC was always a partial guarantee with Okafor being NG. I noted the report said his deal was similar to the one Solo signed the year prior.
