AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

[Cjreimer]

This is getting too far fetched for me. 30 year old men playing with and against 18 and 19 year old college kids? I see the potential for many injuries, skewed motivations, and loss of goals. Keep it simpler, please.

Plans B through S expired with Green was making up his mind. Now you just take a scorer if you can find one. Otherwise start looking for one for next year and hope a couple guys grow into that role this summer.

We probably shouldn’t have stopped recruiting. We could have always made room for 2 new guys if we had to.

Agree with this. If you're gonna wait til June on a guy I'd hope you're willing to "make room" late.

Your sarcasm is so eloquent. Are u dun.

Tell me you wouldn’t watch that?

One motivation, get that bag! NIL baby!

So, what’s Plan B?

It’s the thing women can take if you forgot protection the night before.

Last I knew not many jobs start that high out of college, so yeah don't blame him for taking a chance.

probably the only tax incentive of playing in Europe is you get the "opportunity" to contribute more to society.

Most teams pay the players taxes in Europe, so, in essence, their earning are tax free to them.

It is interesting that his Indiana Pacer workout was the one widely publicized.... Guess who has the last pick in the 2nd round?

A great invention

i guess i have no problem with this. took me a minute to rember lebron never used his college eligibility. if lebron is taking classes, it should be allowed.

current and former pros are able to compete in olympics games. i see no reason to not allow them to play for a college if they have eligibility.

would create some interesting dynamics for sure, if a player like lebron was choosing between playing for the lakers or a college team with NIL money.

JR Smith is playing college golf right now.

Tell LeBron we have an open spot and the need for a scorer.
I'm sure he can play at this level.

He can probably cook up the NIL deal to end all NIL deals.

TJ wouldn’t know how to use him anyway.

Sorry if it’s already been discussed, but did we ever learn why all the “experts” were wrong about AJ coming to ISU?

Was it really just a last second change of mind by AJ?

You have to be a premium member to know why the premium info was wrong.

AJ did well in the final workouts on Monday and Tuesday and had great conversations with both teams Wednesday. Good enough conversations that they swayed him enough to stay in the draft. A guaranteed two way? Maybe the Pacers take him late second round? That's TBD.

Either way, AJ was literally picking out an apartment in Ames on the visit he went on. Sort of a last second deal.

MJ still has his one time transfer in his pocket . . . just saying. Even at age 59, especially if he brought some of his greenbacks with him.

Can't remember, was the Bucks one of the teams he worked out for the couple days before the deadline?
