Message: [QUOTE="JrodCuse, post: 891682, member: 1279"] I'm not denying that at all. Definitely several factors when it comes to deciding to stay/go and money is only one of them, even if it is a very important one. I'm just pointing out that even though someone has the potential to go, there could be many reasons they want to stay. Didn't Carmelo want to stay his sophomore year? Looking at that draft class, it is doubtful he would have been taken #1 (Dwight Howard), but he could have easily gone #2 (Emeka Okafor) and at worst would have matched his #3 pick (Ben Gordon). I wonder what would have happened if Melo stayed his sophomore year like it is rumored he wanted to. We probably would have back to back NC's and JB would be viewed differently. Melo would still be Melo and would have put up just redonkulous numbers his Soph year. Fun to imagine what that would have looked like. [/QUOTE]
