Tomic offered buyout:

Just messing with you. That said, I would definitely be okay with it if the Jazz never signed a female player.

Depends.

Oh and...boobies.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Depends.

Oh and...boobies.

Um... no.

Sexist. I'm sure we can find female players who are better than Burke.

I love me some Skylar Diggins.

When a team signs a first round draft pick within three years after he is drafted, they use the salary scale for the year in which he signs (usually the player signs in the same year he is drafted). After three years they have the option of either using the salary scale or signing him as if he was a free agent -- using their cap room or any available exception, with the standard raises. They can only do the latter if the player did not play intercollegiately in the interim. Such a contract must be for at least three seasons, and the salary in the first season must be greater than 120% of the applicable rookie scale amount.

I want to say that I got the info about no team/player options in these type of rookie contracts when the Bulls signed Nico Mirotic this past offseason. I was curious as to how the rules applied to Tomic and Neto (and now Pleiss).

Tomic was drafted in the 2nd round, #44 overall if I remember correctly, so while I don't know all the rules and stipulations 2nd rounders have much more freedom which is why so many Euro players are drafted in the 2nd round so they're not limited by the 1st round rules.

No you couldnt.

While there are some very good female basketball players, they would get destroyed on an NBA court, and Trey Burke would dominate the WNBA. He's not as bad as he's being made out to be.

Some of you might not know this, but the Jazz actually drafted a female player once. Then found out she was pregnant. True story.

Didn't know that, but now I do.

Was it Karl Malone's child?


Edit: just noticed the date. Probably Wilt's. Of course, the question: "have you ever had unprotected sex with a man" is still prohibited in the NBA, so there is still no way of making sure potential draft picks are not "with child." This is likely the reason other women like Birttney Griner have not been drafted by NBA teams. Just too big a risk to take.

Or maybe her husband's, seeing as how she got married in Feb of that year.

A child conceived out of wedlock? Imagine the scandal that would have caused in Utah in 1977!

At least Utah has the distinction of "officially" drafting the only woman in the history of the NBA. The San Francisco Warriors did it 8 years earlier, but their pick was voided.
