Rip Hamilton

[Wise2]

What is the deal with Rip. Is he retired. I know he was waived by the Bulls. All the lists of current NBA UConn players never list Rip, but list others that haven't played this year?

 

[Gurleyman]

He's hoping someone picks him up. But frankly it's not looking good. He's not a good fit for most modern GMs and their efficiency metrics, with his reliance on long twos.

Heard possible europe

Although Rip isn't playing, the Bulls are paying him $1 million this season (he signed a deal in 2011 for $15 mil over 3 seasons - $5 mil a season and 1 was guaranteed after he got waived)...

I hope a team picks him up.

Well that and he is getting a bit old.

Still, there are a ton of mediocre shooting guards out there that Rip is better than.

If Rip goes to Europe it's because he lost a lot more money than just the bit the Nochimson stole from him.

Or maybe he loves playing basketball, wants another go in the league and doesn't want to go a whole season not playing. Europe is an option to prove he can still play while also staying in game shape. Better comp than d-league.

No - If Rip goes to Europe it's because he lost a lot more money than just the bit the Nochimson stole from him.

 

[Fishy]

If Rip goes to Europe, it's because he enjoys making a lot of money playing basketball.

 

[joober jones]

If Rip goes to Europe, Rip goes to Europe. That's all we need to know.

I didn't think the level of know it all idiocy could be raised any higher here. Congrats, I was wrong.

I rather thought my tack onto Chin was amusing. So blow me.

I don't know one way or the other but he didn't go to North Korea! And he didn't rush to Europe!
