Think he ended up walking away from the game and just smoking weed. Can't remember his name now. Fair enough, if a players heart isn't in it anymore and they've made their money, I'd rather they walked away rather than just mail it in- hope he finds something more fulfilling. I think I take issue with the fact he'll get most of his money for doing nothing though!

Keon Clark?

Thats the one! Thanks!

Yikes, didn't realise it ended like this for him:

And this:

At a hearing, Clark admitted that he was a recovering alcoholic who had been drinking for most of the time since high school. He added that he "never played a game sober" during his NBA career, and usually drank during halftime

Ouch 27mm left on the table for playing basketball for a few years--unreal.

When the buyout process started he said everyone would know the truth soon. Hopefully there is some clarification on why things went so bad.

This knocks out any possibility that Knight could be had in FA--imho Drgaic and Knight are off the table .

Which is fine. Now we can focus on fixing SG & PF/C since that's what you need in the triangle. There are plenty of good defensive PGs out there who like to move the ball for cheap

10:38am: Sanders didn’t want to report to the Bucks following the end of his suspension, thus giving the Bucks leverage to extract as much as they did in the buyout, a source tells Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders (Twitter links). It’s unlikely Sanders will sign with another team this season, Kennedy’s source adds and as Kyler also tweets, which makes sense, given that it appears he won’t return to the court in 2014/15.
