CJ Fair Wants to Go to Training Camp with an NBA Team (PS; Waters)
C.J. Fair wants a shot at making an NBA team's roster. And he's willing to risk a $200,000 contract offer for that opportunity.
Fair, the former Syracuse University basketball standout, recently fired his agent after not receiving any guarantees from any NBA teams. The agent, Torrell Harris, did secure a $200,000 offer from a professional team in Europe for Fair.
After firing Harris last week, Fair signed with Joel Bell, who runs the Maryland-based Bell Management International.

Who Has Worn a Number After It Has Been 'Honored'? (PS; Waters)
Syracuse University has honored 10 basketball players by displaying their jerseys in the Carrier Dome.
The jersey-raising ceremony usually includes a framed replica of the jersey being presented to the player.
But that doesn't mean the number belongs to that player. Syracuse, like many other schools, recognizes the player by honoring his jersey, but it does not retire the number.
The issue of Syracuse's honored jerseys came up earlier this week when a reader asked about the reported-but-never-held ceremony to honor Lawrence Moten, the school's all-time leading scorer.

Best Situational Lineups for SU Hoops in 2014-15 (BR; Siudut)
The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team will begin its 2014-15 season with an exhibition game against a familiar foe on Nov. 2.
The Carleton (Canada) Ravens will travel to the Carrier Dome in an attempt to avenge an exhibition loss to the Orange on Aug. 22 of last year. In that game, the Orange trailed 47-32 with less than 15 minutes to play, but a late run helped put the game into overtime, where Syracuse eked out a 69-65 win. Carleton defeated Wisconsin just two days prior, 95-82, so the Orange knew they’d be in for a fight.

Jim Boeheim Says Derrick Rose Looks Better Now (cbssports.com; Gottlieb)
He’s a basketball Hall of Famer, he’s won more than 900 games, he’s the assistant coach for Team USA and he’s a friend of the program. Ladies and gentlemen, he’s Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim.
And no, he doesn’t really miss having a summer.
“Honestly, we’re together (with Team USA for) one month, and it really is (like) my vacation,” the 69-year-old Boeheim said on The Doug Gottlieb Show on CBS Sports Radio. “The only thing I worry about is if it takes away from my family or if it takes away from Syracuse basketball. But it’s really a learning experience for me – even at my advanced age – to work with such great players and coaches. Having Coach (Tom) Thibodeau here and Coach (Monty) Williams from New Orleans, two new guys to work with and learn from – I got to be honest: I think it’s helped me and helped Syracuse basketball for me to be involved in this. I’ll do it as long as I can.”
