La’El Collins’ reps tell me if he’s not selected in rounds 2 or 3, he’ll not sign a contract with NFL team & resubmit his name for ’16 draft

 

This is an incredible bluff or show of power in an unprecedented situation. If Collins were to be drafted on day 3 or as an undrafted free agent he would be stuck at low pay via restricted free agency and the rookie wage scale for the next 4 years. His agent realizes clearing his name and going in the first round of the 2016 draft would be more lucrative. The only question is would teams still consider him a 1st rounder with a year away from football?

 

I understand why the Agent is doing this. But damn is it ballsy.

I understand it's a business but.. This comes off as a money grab.

What is the monetary difference between his originally projected draft position vs say, a 4th round..?

 

Of course it is.

 

But if he's 100% innocent, can you blame him? He can just wait one more year and get paid way more over a 4-5 year period.

If he didn't have anything to do with the murder this sucks so bad...

 

I understand no one wants to take the risk and rightfully so...but it sorta sounds like his ex (who's kid may not even be his) suffered a horrible horrible fate and he wasn't even involved.  He's helping the PD with the investigation because the kid might be his.  Now for that, the entire league avoids him.  If he's innocent, damn does that suck for him.

      Hornets Screwed in NBA Draft Lottey...Again

      By Ronnie Bass · Posted

      I agree it does seem the league is against Charlotte but the picks they've made have been questionable. They've had sure fire picks fall to them and they keep trying to build a army of forwards who cannot shoot for some reason lol. You got to make a move in offseason and or trade for scoring. I get the best aren't coming to Charlotte but theres been opportunities at solid players with experience, that would've come just to be the man here in Charlotte. They got to stop over thinking this in the draft too. Take the best scorers available! I'm hearing we need more size on the wing, a big man, great defender, etc. but nothing about scoring or a shot creator. This team has been terrible at shooting the rock especially from the perimeter and its a iso 3 ball league, no one plays defense or really runs an offense. This franchise does not do well with developing players either. I've seen too many guys take huge leaps once they were away from Charlotte which is concerning. And even more concering that they're taking developmental guys when they have no business doing so. So, All that to say take a proven scorer, high basketball IQ guy, a unpolished player will not survive here.
