Last year Minor Leaguer John Odom was traded for 10 bats. A few weeks later, he just upped and left the team.
What most people don't know is about 5 or 6 months later, he was found dead from H, meth, booze and other drugs.
From being the laughing stock of all sports media to killing himself...
smh...thats messed up

Could be worse, though. We could have drafted Andrea Bargnani.

word
I find it humorous, when people blast Houston and Portland, for passin' on MJ. Hakeem Olajuwon wasn't chopped liver, Sam Bowie was a decent C in college, whereas MJ wasn't the MJ we all come to know. He was a 3rd option on his UNC team, suspect outside jumper, but he had the tools, to be a good SG. Nobody knew, he'd become the best player ever coming out.
yehh hakeem is a one of the greatest and he wasnt a slouch dude still brought championships to houston...but you know i remember a story about bobby knight telling portland they should pick up mike and portland proclaimed they needed a center so knight replied i dont care play jordan at center

When Willie Mays was traded to the New York Mets in 1972, the first team he faced was the San Francisco Giants.
He later homered in that game to defeat San Francisco.
