Not to beat a very tired old horse...but Mika could have been cheered on by

Nobody gets it. Such a strange, abrupt end to what could've been...

WhyKnot

I get it..

500,000?? lol. He'll be pretty close to 100,000.

Lance71

6/24/17 9:49pm

Here's my point on the 500k

hammergm

6/25/17 9:56am

If that was really his thought process, that's some really bad math, man.

cougfromcali

What do you mean?

hammergm

He stood a much better chance at being drafted w/ one more year at BYU, plus he

2 years older is a drop in the bucket, that's the least of Mika's problems. Most

cougfromcali

6/25/17 11:41am

2 years older is a huge deal. There were comments about his age THIs year.

Shteve

6/25/17 12:21pm

Is 5 months a huge deal? Is 1 year a huge deal?

cougfromcali

6/25/17 2:06pm

Haha The G-league? The fact they are changing the name of the league shows ...

COACHdrn

6/24/17 11:43pm

You don't follow the NBA much do you.

Shteve

6/25/17 12:19pm

I follow it enough to know that d-league players stay in the d-league.

COACHdrn

6/25/17 1:26pm

So you know all about the new two way contracts?

Shteve

6/25/17 1:44pm

Yup.

COACHdrn

6/25/17 1:55pm

Then you know your opinion is very much off.

Shteve

6/25/17 2:43pm

For the past 6 season, only 30 guys get "called up" from d-league teams...

COACHdrn

6/25/17 6:03pm

2017 End of season NBA rosters had a high of 44% G League players

hammergm

Simple. He got bad advice.

Speak for yourself dude. Many of us get it.

Machiavelli

6/24/17 8:41pm

Why isn't Emery and Haws leaving NOW! They can earn money overseas

Cougarfan777

6/24/17 10:02pm

Those players still have a LOT of development they need to focus on before they

Machiavelli

6/24/17 10:47pm

"He couldn't improve his draft status next year..." Uh... How you figure?

Ktar

6/24/17 10:46pm

You literally just follow my posts to thumbs down every time, so no point in

Machiavelli

6/25/17 11:30pm

Hahahaha!!! Now that is hysterical! Glad I'm living rent free in that head

Ktar

6/27/17 4:59pm

Your a fool if you think he couldn't improve his draft status.

WhyKnot

6/24/17 11:08pm

Strong words -- but truth.

cougfromcali

6/25/17 1:28am

Yeah, that's just plain silly.

Ktar

6/25/17 7:44am

A lot of knowledgeable basketball people are "fools" then

Machiavelli

6/25/17 3:28pm

He'll never have as impactful of a role on something that so many people care

RdF3

6/24/17 5:44pm

Thats a very limiting statement and short-sited statement.

Shteve

6/24/17 6:54pm

Okay fine. Maybe he'll become a GA.

RdF3

6/24/17 7:33pm

Maybe, but it's the truth.

COACHdrn

6/24/17 7:51pm

Its an accurate statement

LDTemplar

6/24/17 10:08pm

Not so.

hammergm

6/24/17 8:33pm

What could he be a part of that people care about more than BYU ball?

RdF3

6/24/17 9:31pm

He had that last year and chose to move on. Whatever his reason, he already

popularity and worldly glory do not bring that much joy and happiness

cwilke1

6/24/17 6:06pm

I dunno, TNT might beg to differ.

Ktar

6/24/17 10:48pm

He has $$$ and freedom now. I'd take that over playing for peanuts and going

Backcountry

6/24/17 6:23pm

??? He maybe has $ -- but not $$$.

cougfromcali

6/25/17 10:34am

My guess is he didn't like it at BYU very much.

6/24/17 6:25pm

People don't want to accept this, but it's the only logical answer. There were

Cougarfan777

6/24/17 8:05pm

Maybe

hammergm

6/24/17 8:37pm

I don't get that logic. Emery is 4 years past HS, Haws is 3 years. Both those

Cougarfan777

6/24/17 9:12pm

It might simply be personality

Harrison0Yfan

6/24/17 10:48pm

I'm honestly really, really bothered that he didn't enjoy playing with this

BoiseBlue

6/24/17 6:29pm

Very strange considering the media made them out to be childhood best friends

Mr. Scoobs

6/24/17 6:45pm

Rose is at the same place was in 2012ish. It's time for a new regime.

Backcountry

6/24/17 7:23pm

How can you possibly know this?

hammergm

6/24/17 8:38pm

I'm not claiming insider info. He left the team when basically everyone

BoiseBlue

MrBuff

6/24/17 11:10pm

If he wants to make "a bunch of money" he made the wrong choice.

COACHdrn

Yep. It's a real issue.

I wanted him to stay, but Rose can't develop him. Go make money young man.

IronPotato

6/24/17 9:00pm

He would make about as much money with a degree, not playing basketball.

Lance71

6/24/17 10:21pm

Degrees don't make you crap

dizthewiz

6/25/17 4:18am

As a ex-BYU athlete they do. There is a really strong alumni base that offers

cougfromcali

Playing in the WCC is far from an ideal way to showcase talent.

cwilke1

6/25/17 2:27pm

He wants to be PF, not a center. He said it himself. He's not developing the

IronPotato

Or maybe he just likes Italian ice cream, gelato, more than the BYU dairy ice
