Yes I would but my bar/liquor store/speeding tickets/legal fees tab wouldn't be the dominant debits
But in the end of it all - money isn't always the answer
OT: Bouknight and Whaley playing together in Bridgeport, CT tomorrow

How he spends his money is up to him but by June 2024 he will have made over $10M. For someone to match that in 10 years, they'd have to make an almost incalculable amount of money (Whatever $10m divided by 10 comes out to).

Bouk's salary numbers.
I'll leave it up the masses to figure out how many years at their current salary they'd have to work to make JB kind of money.

No. He's in his first stretch with them for this season
Looks like a few times. It shows he played 3 games for Greensboro this year.

Bouk so fun to watch offensively. And so disinterested defensively

I’m watching. Can’t be more than 100 people in the arena. Wow.The game is on MSG 2 Network. There were bigger crowds at the UConn women's games in the early 1980's

Accurate. If I get bored in the 3rd quarter I’ll get a head count. I mentioned it earlier in the thread but it’s kind of surreal being here. If they weren’t playing music during the game you’d be able to hear everything said on the court.
Bouk has had some nice moves but hasn’t been hitting his shots. Think he has 8 points on two layups and a couple foul shots (in G League you take 1 FT which is worth 2 points or 3 if fouled on a three pointer). Whaley was very involved screening and play-making off the short roll in the first quarter but I believe he just has two points.

Bouk is playing with the intensity of someone who would rather be anywhere on earth other than in a G League game in Bridgeport.

He has certainly picked it up in the second half. Team high 16 points. Greensboro having trouble scoring in general
One would hope this would light the fire under his ass to realize it's not where he wants to be.

The Hornets as a team aren’t doing very well according to NBA standards

I hope he has saved his money. Did they pick up his option for next year?
Nba teams will be patient with talent, but not immaturity. At end of day, he has to show he is worth investment. He hasn’t shown that. Could be out if league by end of the year.
Charlotte will either trade him as ballast, or he will just become a free agent end of year.

I agree. I unfortunately don’t see a bright future for him over seas either
Slow success builds character
Fast success builds ego
Hopefully, he matures and becomes the player we hope he can be someday. I guess we have to wait until then

People want UConn to play games there?
The lack of attendance isn't because of the venue

“We take pride in that,” Whaley said Tuesday afternoon, sitting courtside after a shootaround at Total Mortgage Arena, hours before a game against the Westchester Knicks. “At halftime of our game, if UConn is playing, Donyell will come over and be like, ‘Yo, we're up five.' And we'll look at each other, like, ‘C'mon!’”

The cheapest ticket with fees is close to $30 (ticketbastard, I'm sure you can walk-up for the $20 face price). I can't imagine they had more than a dozen paying customers in the arena last night.

I enjoyed watching the Huskies beat Columbia there during, I think, a Brimah/Hamilton year. It was during the holiday break, and very convenient for coastal CT fans.

I have no skin in the game here, but I can tell you with almost absolute certainty that there is zero correlation between attendance at a meaningless G League game and how well UConn would draw if it decided to play again in Bridgeport. My guess is that UConn would sell out. Quickly.
