This is the prime example of why the owners know they are going to win the lockout showdown.


NBA players (a large portion of them) do not know how to handle money.

Eh, I don't think this is about money (West could make much more than that just on personal appearance fees if he really was that hurting for money).  I think this is just another goofy thing done by a very unique guy.

I guess Wl was partly sarcastic.



Very unique fun guy my boy is indeed

Hell I can pay him more than Home Depot on Pandacracy.

i'd do the same thing John Wall and some other players did

go back to school, if you don't have a job, go to school, get a degree

and also like Brandon Jennings, working as an intern at UA

  Hopefully he'll remember to tell them he needs an opt-out clause in his contract in case the strike settles.

  Too bad he didn't apply at Verizon a few weeks ago. He could be involved in two labor disputes at the same time.

If Ron Artest did this, we'd probably cite as further proof of how nuts he is.

We don't need any more proof for Ron artest. He's a closed case.

Ron Artest is going to be paid for playing in a UK basketball league with guest appearances on a Soap Opera.

People haven't said anything.

You read the article, it even mentions Artest went to work for Circuit City while he was in Chicago. Hopefully Delonte isn't a comprable kiss of death to Home Depot.

I'm downing any of these guys for what they're doing during this ridiculous work stoppage.

Something needs to occupy their time and keep them out of trouble or spending all of their money

I love this guy. One of my favorite all time Celtics because of the heart he plays with. And he's just a loose cannon - I love that as long as all his "loose cannon" activities are harmless to himself and others. If he keeps it in line, he is definately an entertaining guy on and off the court.
