Patrick O'Bryant

I talked with one of my friends who was at the Warriors game last night, she talked to Pat, and told me that he was indeed going down to the D-League. Sad to see this happen, but at least he'll now be gettting some regular minutes, which is exactly what a project such as POB needs. On the bright side, Pat might be making more money than the rest of the players in the D-League combined...

Happy New Year everyone!
 
Maybe this will turn out to be the best thing in the long run. I have no doubt Patrick has the skills and mentality to be an NBA star. He just needs a chance and playing time.

AV23, if you talk to Patrick, let him know he has a lot of fans back here that are thinking about him and pulling for him.

Everyone knew POB was a couple years away from being a true impact player in the NBA. I'm not worried one bit.

I'm not going to worry about Pat unless he somehow blows the $9+ million dollars he's being paid.
 
The Warriors call up former Kentucky guard Kelenna Azubuike to replace POB on their roster. Azubuike was the leading scorer in the NBA D-League--

At the bottom of this article is a blurb about POB--
Rookie Patrick O'Bryant begins his assignment this week with the Bakersfield Jam, the Warriors' D-League affiliate. O'Bryant will be playing under former UCLA coach Jim Harrick and is expected to make his debut Thursday when the Jam host the Austin Toros.

I don't know where your getting $9 + million at BBrave.

1st year 1,718.1 million
2nd year 1,847.0 million
3rd year 1,975.8 million
 
Must be from the extra millions he gets from the basketball card companies and endorsements. :lol:

I don't doubt that Patrick will sign one of those $10 million a year, multiyear contracts someday. Heck if Joel Przybilla is worth that kind of money as a backup (he's averaging 2.4 ppg and 4.6 rpg), then I think POB will see a similar big payday someday. But these first 3 or 4 years the standard rookie contracts limit what rookies can earn.
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
