Good stuff. Thanks, Shel!

Am I chopped liver? See my post PRIOR to Shel.

I loved what DeMarre Carroll had to say about Jordan Ott. He said Jordan was the offensive coordinator for the Cavaliers last year.

Hopefully some of that magic will rub off on the Suns this year.

Nigel Hayes-Davis bet on himself, turned down millions to join Phoenix Suns
The chance to chase his dream of an NBA career had Nigel Hayes-Davis turning down a better contract.

Former Badger Nigel Hayes-Davis has just finished winning a championship with Fenerbahce Beko of the EuroLeague, winning the Final Four MVP award, and he was set to make millions in a contract extension. Then the NBA called, and all of those plans changed. His ability to chase his NBA dream and allow his mom to attend his games in person led him to turn down millions of dollars and a guaranteed contract in the EuroLeague.

Hayes-Davis would have become one of the highest-paid players in the EuroLeague if he signed his new deal with Fenerbahce. According to BasketNews, "Fenerbahce had a deal on the table worth up to $9 million NET over three seasons, with the first two years guaranteed. This offer would have ranked him among the highest-paid players in the EuroLeague."

He also said that another motivation for him was that he gets to play live in front of his mom instead of her watching on television thousand of miles away, "Especially with my mother being able to have the opportunity to watch me in person...as loud as she supports, I'll probably hear her during some of these NBA games. It's a huge blessing."

Hayes-Davis is not listed on the Phoenix Suns summer league roster, as the deal still needs a couple more hoops before it's finalized. The first was making sure he could get out of his deal with Fenerbahce. That was announced today on social media, so he can now actually sign his deal with the Suns. However, he may still not be on the summer roster, as the turnaround would be impressively quick.

I think NHD has a good chance to earn a starting spot, but might have trouble keeping it as the youngsters improve.

Honestly… that’s perfectly fine and gives them time to develop at a healthy rate vs. being thrown to the wolves.

I admit, sometimes I’m mixed on this and have seen situations with kids where throwing them in early kinda pushes them along to compete with older kids… but these were teens, not young men making millions.

[Split T]

The one thing that NHD has going for him is the shooting. Brooks and Dunn are our defenders, so it makes some sense to keep one of them out there…we might want Grayson/NHD playing offset minutes as well…of course what we could really use is a true starting PF, but we don’t have that yet.

There is a carousel in what I shared with 8 photos and videos. Maybe your abacus doesn't have modern enough technology to experience the depth of what I shared.

I know it's the best way to learn how to swim. Just throw them in. Two of my three kids survived. (I kid!)

Thanks for the tip without insult. Did you curate that yourself? (I know the answer.)

THANK YOU, AIG!!! YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN!

Chopped liver? No, you are the wurst.

Hey now! I did curate that myself. I'm a big AI guy but I don't use it any longer to write replies. That was short lived. AI takes the person away from the response and AI curated responses always are easy to notice.

Also, after 7 rounds of interviews at ServiceNow, starting back on April 26th, I finally got the verbal offer yesterday! AI Solution Manager on their ATG (Advanced Technology Group) team! I'll be working with early adopters customers on the cutting edge AI capabilities and helping shape the product side internally for the larger future groups of customers so that cutting edge has proper training, enablement, governance and, most importantly, devoid of major bugs and issues.
