Jackson wasn't getting paid when he didn't show up to New Orleans

Bigger problem with guaranteed contracts is guys like Mark Blount who put up great numbers in contract years then get big money and do shit all after that

I think the NBA needs an age limit. They need a salary cap.

Its also just a messy game. It'd be nice if every team was forced to take a legit point guard, like there should be a rule that shooting guards can't play the point. I dunno, thats the reason I'm not watching the NBA right now. Most teams just play such an ugly offensive game.
