By this logic there was really no point in sending Sene to the D-League, right?

Gary Coleman was a little boy who had absolutely no control over his monetary destiny, on top of coming along during a time in which child actors weren't protected. Mike Tyson is/was a free spender who had no idea how to manage his money, plus had no genuine family around him to protect him from the vultures. You can't compare Durant and Green to them. On top of that, Durant ALREADY HAS 60 million guaranteed from Nike, and has much more control over his fortune than Coleman/Tyson ever did.


Hey, you put way more time and thought into that than you ever needed to.

No, I said NBA players. People like Sene get sent to the D-League with the hope they learn how to be NBA players, because they weren't when they got shipped there.

LOL, good point.
Here's hoping Sene will someday reach the level of a just drafted rookie.
