1. Different management that was not nearly as crass about treating players as assets. 2. How did his "class" work out for him in 2004?
Go to bottom of this page and set time to Beginning. Then sort by the Last Post date column. Then go to page 155. August 2nd, 2000 on. All lot of great posts, as we were trying to land MoT too. It's funny to see ppl being called out in thread titles. Achebe, you, rimbaud all did it Great fun to read, after such a sad moment in rockets history to lose a coveted draftie to Dallas.
First, he did get paid after the contract ended Secondly, He turned down his agents plan for him to get paid in his prime. We all thought he'd do it. So he knowingly sacrificed the ability to get the highest pay in his career He should have signed the shortest MLE deal possible to get Bird Rights and big bucks. Clutch had a front page article about it, estimating he'd get a $90m contract. Instead he signed to be a rocket until age 29 Classy As to your first point, that was mainly about Rudy. Players wanted to stay with him
Cat is back on top as my favorite non finals team rocket. I love how he played. Even when he had to carry to offense with 40 plus minutes, he still tried to play defense also.
Cuttino is the jam Damn, reading that post is like going back into a time machine and seeing all the white suburban kids with their late 90s-early 00s bright, too big hip-hop clothes.
thanks, will read it all on weekend, a great find…. our love for Cat should never be forgotten….still wearing my bed shirt
