You're a bit naive here. The difference between Boeheim having an agenda and an agent having an agenda is vast..as in millions of dollars in the agent's pocket.

$3.5 million is chump change to an NBA franchise. With the Warriors, I'm assuming you're talking about Bell. Let's be clear...If Iguodala doesn't go down, Bell never gets off the bench. In the regular season, he averaged 14 mins a game, much of it in mop up time. I know, I live out here and watch the Warriors a lot. Often, he was the last big off the bench.

As for the last paragraph, it was you who said players are banking the money. I'm saying they're not and the facts bear that out. Playing for free has nothing to do with keeping the money or spending it nor does it have anything to do with staying or leaving. I'm merely saying that it's a roll of the dice for players picked after the lottery.

Taken a recent look at the back half of 2017 round 1 and all of round 2? How many have stuck on NBA rosters? Boeheim's point, and I'll say it again, is that it's all about who picks you rather than when you get picked. He means you stand a greater chance to stick if the team that drafts you actually has a need for what you do. The better prepared you are the more chance you have of that happening. Grant got picked by Philly. They had playing time available. If he'd been picked by a better team with no playing time available, he likely goes into the G league scramble. Ennis has stuck because he's been fortunate enough to find teams with a need for a backup point. Denver's got 5 PF ahead of Lydon...think he's gonna stick?
