I read this crap and just think that David Bauman and SFX can kiss my butt. 
They got what they deserve. I can't believe how huffy and sanctimonious 
they are. These sports agents rank with investment bankers in inflated 
sense of self-worth. Most of them just aren't that interesting or intelligent.

I was surprised BTW to see Raul Lopez come out of nowhere. Also Brandon 
Armstrong and Jerryl Sasser dropping Loren Woods and Gilbert Arenas out of 
guaranteed contracts. Biggest shock of the draft.

p.s. Francis, thanks for the quotes from Joe Johnson and Kedrick Brown. I 
don't know what time you posted it, but that was a hell of a prescient 
post. Are you a psychic or something?
