Class of 2024 CG Boogie Fland (NY) Portal to Florida

[rvandersy]

You're missing the point.

Boogie followed the money, not the coach. I don't blame him, kinda. Could have been playing for a winner. Lots of NIL at Arkansas. If you're one and done, get the money.

That would be big for St. John’s and NYC if they could pair Boogie with Ian Jackson. They were the 2 best NYC high school players 2 years ago. Fland would be wise to stay in college as he is not on any mock draft as a round 1 pick. He will certainly make a lot more in NIL than as a 2nd round pick and boost his chances of becoming a round 1 pick next year.

Rick Pitino’s revenge?

Rick's 1st question to Boogie..." Are you OK with me sitting you at the end of close tournament games?"

I also would like to announce I am withdrawing my name from the NBA Draft.

Please respect my decision.
No interviews.

College basketball is becoming so unwatchable.

Yup, we’re back in the MLB before the 90’s when the Yankees were using Kansas City and other teams like their farm team.

They need to figure something out when Florida (and other teams) can pay more for their 11th guy than most teams can pay their best player.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Really don’t care if he goes to Florida. Chances of them winning again are slim. He can soak up the sun and try the NBA again next year.

And how many championships did the Yankees win in the 80s? The highest priced players aren’t always the best. They’re just high priced.

One less than the Mets?

Ironically Florida had one of their best returning players poached off their roster and he’s now at UK.

Well they're a whole country. I can see how they might outbid someone, but I didn't realize they took basketball that seriously.

Hmm, nice work finding the one pre-luxury tax decade since Babe Ruth where the Yankees weren’t able to buy championships. They haven’t won as much since they actually have to have a budget… Coincidence?

They won plenty with homegrown talent in the 90’s and 2000. They are not winning as much now that other teams are spending with or more than them now, so there is no cap or budget as you say.

They paid their homegrown talent more money than anybody else could, and also had a parade of high priced free agents to supplement that core. Or don’t you remember A Rod signing a record contract, which led directly to their last championship, in 2009? 3 of the top 10 earners in baseball history were on those late 90’s early 2000’s Yankees teams. At the same time.

Once the luxury tax/salary cap situation in MLB had real consequences, they came back to the pack, and smarter organizations started winning more. Each successive collective bargaining after that had additional consequences (not purely money related) that forced the Yankees to be a little closer to the average in baseball in total player salaries after that time.

Now, with the Mets and Dodgers finding deferred contracts help reduce the damage from violating that luxury tax, you can expect the Yankees to buy huge player salaries again. As it is, Judge and Cole are both paid the top10 in baseball this season. The Dodgers and Angels are the other teams with two players in that list.

You had to jump to 2009 to try and prove something or other, I stopped at 2000 because of that SPECIFICALLY. It was after that they signed Giambi. Arod was traded for BTW….

So you can use the Yankees buy championships argument but you can’t use it for the timeframe I'm referencing. Lemme guess, you must be a Mets fan?

My point is that the Yankees haven’t been able to outspend everybody and haven’t won a championship since the salary cap restrictions stopped them from doing it… After they spent all that money doubling the previous largest contract ever for A Rod.

They won championships for 90 years, with at least two in 8 of those 9 decades. The engine for this success was buying the best players from cash strapped teams, or, after free agency, paying for the best free agents.

Nobody contests this; Yet you came back with an insipid “but they didn’t win in the 80s“ like that invalidates the other 80 years of their dynasty.

You really ought not spend all your time gloating about the success of the franchise while also suggesting it isn’t largely because of financial strength. It’s disingenuous.
