Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2605263, member: 519"] I read the SBNation piece when it came out. Who's a better source on this than Boeheim? Agents, GMs, scouts? History says you can't believe anything they tell you. Boeheim has been around NBA players in, what is it, three Olympics. I'd think he'd have a pretty good idea from the players' perspective of how things actually work. "The disappointing part is, NBA teams really don't even want the draft picks after the first 15 (picks). They would rather trade them. Give 'em away, whatever. Because they don't want that guy, they've got too many guys and don't want to give that guy guaranteed money. So, you'll find a lot of NBA teams trade those picks." He's right. C'mon, players don't bank the money. If they did, 60% or more wouldn't be broke after five years in the league. [/QUOTE]
