Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 3374441, member: 1572"] I think u make several good points but the one thing I would add is what are the lifestyle expectations of these players? They ink that first deal and maybe they go out and splurge on things for themselves and family members. Buy a nice ride, buy mom and dad a house etc. Then the three year deal ends and they're out of the NBA. Then what? I bet the savings get depleted pretty rapidly, especially if they reside in a higher cost of living area. Btw Lydon and Mali did absolutely the right thing. They struck while the iron was hot. Unlikely they were ever going to have long time NBA careers. [/QUOTE]
