Sounds like here that Odom was wrong on the financials as Malcolm is indicating he is going to be close to his Lokomotiv salary from last season and that his hope is to make a big impact and get one of those life changing deals. Interesting read to hear it directly from Malcolm.

Delaney said his two-year contract is worth a total of "way over $2 million," including a salary greater than the NBA minimum of $543,471 for the 2016-17 season.

"I was never going to come back to play for minimum," he said.

He said he will be making about the same salary for Atlanta in 2016-17 as he made with Lokomotiv this year but "a little less" than he could have made by remaining overseas next winter.

Delaney said the Hawks want him to be their backup point guard but will also give him some time at off-guard.

"How the salary cap is now is motivating me to try to go in and play well and set myself up and my family up for the rest of our lives," Delaney said. "The NBA is a game-changer. You get in there, you play well and you get one of those big contracts for four or five years β€” that's the dream, not just playing in the NBA. For me, just being on an NBA court was never a dream. I want to be able to make an impact on the team and get what I'm worth as well.

"I'm too competitive to just go somewhere and just sit on the bench just to say I played there."

-1/3/2000 watched it with my dad, got home in time from work.
-11/1/2003 at work. Caught bits of it during my breaks.
-12/4/2004 work (seeing a theme here?)

Jeff Allen came out of Potomac (VA), currently Robinson is from Manassas and Allen is from Woodbridge, before Allen though you would have to go back almost 20 years before you found anyone that averaged double digits in a season. Kind of my point regarding the AAU piece. Buzz has a good set of contacts in that world but Chew knew just about everyone in that circle. I dont see that kind of connection from Webster in what I have read so far.

I view Baylor as a 90's internet firm. Making and spending lots of money but do they have staying power on the top level? Will their donor base fad away of they stop having success? What happens if the Big 12 breaks up?

But at least this hire gets them into the public's and Catholics of the DMV. Great bball, and if you could get a couple of the local guys to VT it would be great.
Who was the last star DMV baller before Erick Green? Delaney was from Baltimore.

I know that Baylor clearly has major issues right now, but is it really that much worse than Virginia Tech. They have won multiple national championships, this horrible situation will be moved on from in a few years (cough Penn State). I love Virginia Tech, and I think that we have one of the best schools in the country, but if you look beyond football, and realize that he will be way over-paid and have great job security because of the situation he faces, then I don't feel like it is a worse job.

That being said, I love what David Teel reported about no truth to the rumors.

basking in the calm peace of a toddlerless room.

I've been saying for some time, these Penn St. folks just need to give it up.

These letterman asking for the statue to be brought back only reali reminds me of the sheer awfulness that this school went along with for the sake of winning some games. I honestly had not really though about PSU at all in months until I saw that story pop up.

There is sadly at this point no other way to correct what was done to these poor kids. They just need to stop the hero worship and move on.
