lesson here...

save your money, man. save your money...

Guess he really did need to feed his family....

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...

Even when you're rich, stupidity and taxes will get you every time. At least he's still got $50,000 and is living in a modest rental according to the end of the article. The title of the article is a little misleading.

Wow.

Seriously if you ever even have like $4 mil and lose it...you are truly a fucking idiot.

As a 1994 Warriors season tix holder, I thought we should keep Mitch Richmond (a class guy). Instead we got stuck with this P.O.S.

Yeah - That was a total choke job......

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I liked that dude. I'd give him $10 to sign a jersey!

There wasn't a single transaction that the Warriors got right in the 1990s.

What kind of name is Latrell? Is that Austrian?

It's a name given by one angry, indignant, menacing African American to another.

We got Billy Owens for Mitch Ritchmond which was still a huge mistake.

Yes and drafting Sprewell at the 2 Guard position made Richmond expendable in the Warriors eyes. So the mistake was compounded because Latrell was a nightmare for Golden State (as was Webber)

As I remember it, the Warriors were looking for size at the time, Billy Owens was 6 foot 9. He was considered at top 3 pick. The Ws had to offer something considerable at the time to get him. I never followed college ball but I remember thumbing through one of those NBA draft magazines at a store prior to the draft and reading about Billy Owens. The report on Billy Owens then was he was a great talent but wasn't always motivated to play and questioned his desire. How accurate that report turned out to be

Yes. Exactly correct.

Didn't he choke his coach?

The general statistics for all sports is 72%-76% of all professional athletes are broke at some point after they are done playing. How do you burn through $50 million? (The question is rhetorical; I know how they do it.)
