Sam Jacobson $825,497

Now there is a name from the past. I remember the first time my team played against his in this summer league in SSP. Sam was an underclassman then. He proceeded to win the tip and pushed it towards his basket to one of his guards, took about three steps (if that) to get into the paint, received a pass, and two hand tomahawk power dunked it on us. It happened so fast and I think my team was shellshocked. Needless to say, it wasn't a very close game.

Good times...

Nevermind Shelden. Ollie was a nice guy but wasn't going to be part of our future anyway.

Don't get too attached to the list. If we use our space under the cap, we have to renounce these guys.

Still, I get the same warm fuzzies over Sam Mitchell. I'd like to put him on a 3-year deal (the last two player option) and trade him, just to see him in a uniform a few more times.

Why Andre Patterson and Bracey Wright remain unsigned is beyond me.
