This is White BIGDAB. It changes from I don't like watermelon to I like watermelon depending on who's posting.

can't link the article right now, but the deal with the nets was really a cover for the Barclays center, which he still has a nice stake in. So he will basically make money off the Barclay center as long as he lives.
He sold his one fifth of one percent stake in that, too.

Would it be crazy for coaches to devalue a potential draft pick for these reason? It might show that the draftee is more concerned with celebrity status than football success. Those scouts analyze every possible angle, so that line of thinking would not surprise me.
Cute thought, but this is real life. People are stupid and will gladly overpay if they think it makes them better. Even if 29 baseball GM's are smart, there will be one who thinks he is even smarter.
As in Cano and Pujols.

Didn't JayZ's company just sign 31 year old Robinson Cano to a 10yr/240+ mill deal?
Scott Boris would have found a way to keep him with the Yankees like he wanted. That's the difference between a good agent and Jay-Z.

Yea, no chance Boras could have pulled that off. None.

Whoops my spelling has been bad today. You're kidding yourself if you don't think a more experienced agent with better connections wouldn't have found a way to structure the deal to keep Cano with the Yankees.

I'm not shitting on Jay, he's made some solid business moves, but he's not what some in here are talking him up to be.

You don't think an agent on Jay-Z's team knows how to structure an offer? I'm sure they do, the problem is there was no "structure" that Cano would have accepted that didn't amount to $240mil. Can you think of one?

The Yankees offered $25 Million/year he ended up with $24/yr from Seattle. Boras would have figured out a way to get it to 10 years which is what Cano wanted. I have no idea what negotiations were like with Jay-Z's group and the Yankees but I have to believe Boras would have got what Cano wanted out of them. We're talking about the guy that has set record after record for baseball contracts.

There' just zero chance the Yanks were going to offer $240mil.

All the guy does is hit home run after home run for his clients. I'm not saying $240 was possible with the Yankees but I bet he could have got Cano a deal that was acceptable to him and kept him in New York. He hasn't given any reason to think otherwise given his track record.
