Yeah, but he gave up $3.5MM to come back to his hometown and was here for only a few months. For guys like that, that money means something.

Man.. when he first came in, I thought Bonzi would've had a long career even though he developed into an idiot with bad influences. But at 32, he's still in his prime somewhat and doesn't even have a job. I'm a little surprised by that.

Well amazingly enough, when your a dick, and your burn bridges with most of the teams in the league, somehow you can't find a job.

That about explains it.

Kirk Snyder... I remember when a lot of people thought he would be a good fit on this team in the draft.

I did. I admitted I was wrong too. He had all the tools. He just never got over the hump that you can't let your athleticism carry you in the NBA. You actually have to improve your skills. He never did that, and now, there he is. In the unemployment line.

I'll admit he was the guy I wanted instead of Telfair. It's a very good thing I'm not a GM.

Sad but true.

He wore out his welcome in, what, four cities?

its true it was a really bad decision on his part, but he has to live with it. he can probably make over a million a year in europe, so i personally wont be shedding any tears for him, even though he went to high school with me.

Seriously? Did anyone ever call him Gaylen just to bust his chops? Is that story about the girl in the mall in Muncie true?

I'm sure no one will disagree with this statement, but I'm an idiot. For some reason I misread your post and thought you went to HS with Bonzi Wells in Muncie, IN. My bad. I've heard nothing but good things about Freddie.
