Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 5302847, member: 25"] I think we're all circling the same thing in the end. [LIST] [*]He came in with a lot of press. Lauded instantly as a probable 1 and done. [*]Got off very hot and backed up the press clippings. [*]Got hurt and missed 5 weeks. [*]Never really was the same after that. [*]Had a pretty average (at best) postseason that didn't help his stock. [*]He was slated as 15-20 and dropped quite a bit. Ended up going to a horrible franchise. [/LIST] Is he getting paid a lot to play basketball? Did he achieve his dream of the NBA? Yes. Could he have come back, averaged 20+ and helped lead us to a top 5 rank all year? Yes. Could he have blown his knee out in preseason? Yes. He obviously did the "right thing" for him and his wallet but it potentially could have turned out better with different choices. [/QUOTE]
