I liked David Anderson, Mario Austin and Steve Logan, and I wished they would’ve signed an NBA contract so I could watch them play. By I do understand you gotta do whats best for their career. Also does anyone know how long a team has rights to a draft pick who doesn’t sign a contract? .

You Cats gotta realize though. Alot of thes foreign dudes are making more money overseas in the pros. They don’t wanna pay a huge buyout to take less money. Some of these american players sign bigger deals and become stars in other leagues. True the NBA is a special opportunity to play with the best in the world, and getting drafted is great. But if an NBA team wants to sign me on the cheap, when I can be getting more money else where and have more PT, I going that route instead. Fran Vazquez is a perfect example. .

I guess alot of these foreign dudes don’t want to play in america and sit on the bench. This looks like alot of wasted picks by teams. They could’ve selected me 4 years ago I would have jumped at the chance and been a better choice coming out of good college program with solid numbers. .

I don’t blame Frederic Weis for not wanting to be a Knick. I never thought I would find myself saying its better to be overseas than be a New York Knick. .

Whatever happen to Steve Logan he could’ve been a solid NBA guard. .
