Let's see...

I dont see any news here. There are multiple threads here stating pretty much the exact same thing. No one knows what will happen. Sensationalism to get people listening. Disappointed in Jason...

Jason is not prone to sensationalism like John and others. More like Geoff.

Ok, but that's exactly what he did. What was the actual news? It was speculation based on "word on the street" as far as I heard.

If Jason said it (I didn't hear it), he has a very reliable source (Keelon?) who told him that. I have never seen him come out with a story like this without knowledge.

He's not working for a newspaper anymore. He's working for a radio station. One can go out on a limb a bit more on the radio but you need solid facts for the paper.

This definitely smells like a power play by keelon

It's all about leverage.

Maybe this is a negotiation tactic - more power to em. But I lean towards this being accurate.

Thats just it. Its not that he said it. Its fine as a host to speculate on the radio about whatever your opinion is on whatever. But he hyped it as this big breaking news story. Its not. Its just speculation about what "might" happen. Markel, Dedric, KJ and Keelon dont even know how it will play out. It wasnt a bombshell. Thats my issue with it. I ran out to my car to listen and it was garbage stuff we all already knew and have been hearing for weeks.

Mmhmm... And he has ALL the power.

How much fun could it be for players like the Lawson's who beat #1 Oak Hill, won state, etc to play on teams that are not going to play in Tourney?

Jason's tired of all the love shown to the new beat writer

Their show is trash just like that "breaking news" and our jazz percussion in game house band. Surprised they actually tried to report something rather than doing the white/black shtick over and over.

D-League salary expected to increase from $26k to $75k ...

Yep - we've been over this before, but a 22 year old can play basketball WHILE working on his game AND make no less that $40K a year - either overseas or now in the D-League - once the salaries triple.

What we have in a lot of posters is old dudes who scoff at $40K a year, but for a 20-22 year old...that's nice money for simply working at basketball.

And a 10 day call up to the league can mean $60K on it's own.

Here is a good article for anyone interested.

Lol. new beat writer catching hell. he is like a bull in a china shop.

I can't blame him for leaving and trying to achieve his dream through the D-League. Especially since he'll make 75k for a 5 month season

How can you say that when you don't know his source?-hell, it could be Dedric himself. Jason talks to those kids.

Yep.

One 10 day callup from any team and he's made $100+K in a year.

Heck, Nick freaking Calathes is making $2 million per overseas.

What could Dedric have possibly told him? I may not return? Is that a bombshell? Who didnt already know that? It obviously wasnt an official announcement. Bombshell that is not...
