...stated 2 years ago while playing in the D-league, which is an NBA feeder league. Of course you say that when you're in the D-league. Also, prior to getting $1.4MM to play internationally. The fact is he had a guaranteed contract for the 2015 season, was getting paid by Memphis & was under contract with Denver and still chose to go to back to China. If his sole goal was to play in the league he would have played in the D-league, etc. Especially since he's already getting paid. Apparently, other options presented themselves. Again, all this is old news & prior to averaging a triple double, etc. I have no doubt everyone's dream is to play in the NBA, but there's a reason you have an agent. The NBA is not always the best situation overall. Jamaal's rookie contract with Memphis was guaranteed for two seasons: 2013/14 and 2014/15. Denver only paid him for 3 games of the 2014/15 season. Denver waived Jamaal in July, 2015. Jamaal went to China in the Fall of 2015 (and he was not under contract with Denver at this time). Don't know what his salary was for 2015/16. Jamaal signed a 2 year contract for China for 2016/17 and 2017/18. 2016/17 was $1.4mm (after a triple-double season, so I'm guessing 2015-16 was much less than that).

in other news Jamaal just held his yearly (4 years in a row) free basketball clinic for kids in the IE.

Standard SOP for NCM. Can't make a point so turns it to being personal. Instead of actually making a statement relevant to the thread you ask a question which implies people think you're clueless (I'm not the only one who's said that). Brilliant insights, thanks. I was answering honestly based on insights I've gained talking to people who've done the same thing as Jamaal, but hey, I'm sure you know exactly what's going on between him, his agent & NBA & International league execs. PS. Luckily there are no statistics involved (except salaries)! I made my point as well as plenty of relevant statements earlier on in this thread...and you made yours. Fair enough? I'm glad you think I know exactly what's going on between Jamaal and his agent, and everyone else - too bad I never said I did. Funny how whatever opinion I have is wrong but yours is right about about something that's totally unknown to both of us. This thing got way off track when you decided to jump in and write lengthy posts per your own SOP. I'm just surprised you haven't learned yet or s imply can't remember how all of these posts end up...You're correct. I do know how they'll end up - with you spewing a bunch of irrelevant garbage & thinking you actually made a point, then turning it personal when you realize you haven't. Like many, sometimes it's hard to resist the temptation of rubbernecking after seeing a car crash. Guilty as charged.

You make things "personal" all the time...calling guys ignorant or clueless simply because they don't agree with you. You still haven't learned that opinions are not fact .

I've never said my opinions are fact, but facts are facts. Knowing the difference is important, as is having actual information when available.

Maybe not NBA $ but not too shabby either. He seems so close to sticking every time.

More money; more marketing opportunities; more PT; more of a focus. There's a reason he's staying in China.
