POB wasn't ready either but you can't blame him whien someone is offering a few million. I'm sure 99.9% of us would have done the same thing. I always thought he should of taken the Tim Duncan path but he never listened to me lol. He needs to still bulk up and find a niche (rebounding, blocking shots) and go for it. He will be playing for someone else come next year.

The Bulls do need some more height on their team...Comment

POB made the right move, there's no way his stock was going any higher. Buy low, sell high. POB sold at the highest.
By the way, how much longer is he going to be called a rookie?A real fan celebrates the successes, but also acknowledges the failures of his team.Comment

It doesn't take long to blow $3 million out on the west coast. Most houses and condos in the nicer "professional" suburbs are a million+ dollars. Then you have the cars, traveling, house furnishings, his girlfriend and what not. I wonder if Bradley can bribe him with some money to come back here and coach our bigs LOL.

I don't think GS picked the option on his 3rd year. So the only money he will see for sure is year 1 and 2 which doesn't add up to a whole lot when you subtract agent fees, federal taxes, CA state taxes, etc... It is not a trivial sum, but nothing compared to what he could have been positioned to earn if he had stayed in school for two more years. Hopefully, he will land a 1 year deal with another team, play well and get his stock value back up.Originally posted by AV23 View PostComment

Lottery picks can make millions more from shoe deals, basketball card deals, and other endorsements. Even a player like POB who hasn't made an impact in the NBA yet cashes in on some of these additional deals.Comment

I was trying to follow up on what POB's been up to lately which unfortunately isn't much. I came across an ESPN insider article that could mention him but I'm not an insider. Could someone who is lemme know what they had to say about him?

BUBalum5 I do not have the rights to read that article but the local paper states that he is at the far end of the bench, usually comes in for mop up time, fouls more then scores and will more then likely will become an unrestricted free agent. Basically he does not fit into Nellie's system, needs to work on his conditioning for his position and improve on his D."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

The ESPN insider article lists soph players that are doing real well, like Brandon Roy, and it lists soph players that aren't. No surprise that POB is on the list that is not doing well. The author says he had reports on draft day 2006 that O'Bryant was a "paper tiger", that he had all the tools, but wasn't aggressive enough.Comment

Thanks Coach! Looks like POB getting outta GS is his only hope.Comment

Hopefully a change of scenery will do POB good. He needs someone that believes in him and will give me time to develop. Clearly that's not Nellie.Comment

Should have stayed.What part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

It is really too bad for how POB's pro career is turning out. Anthony Parker's path shows that it is possible for a player to eventually overcome being selected by the wrong team, but it will take a lot of hard work now that the honeymoon period of being a lottery pick is over.Comment
