Maybe the Spurs or Rockets will notice him now.

Tough break for Boo. Hope he thrives.

To make matters worse, he got traded for a guy named Dink.

NBA Summer League is open to players up to 3 or 4 years out, right? Seems like he still has a shot if he can shine hard this season and get a (better than this summer past) chance at a spot.

If he has to play in a different country, he should head to Europe or Japan. Where he’ll get pad ( G league pays terribly) and it’s reasonably safe.

Maybe call Shurna and see if he can get him a hook up in Spain?

He’s got NBA dreams and Mexico City isn’t that far away.

I hope to see him make it to the league.

Europe & Japan will always be there.

How much do you think he's worth in Europe or Japan?

$200-300K. And that’s net. In Europe the teams pay your taxes, agent fees. Also provide housing and transportation.

G-League player salaries for the 2025-26 season are not yet officially published by the NBA, but they are expected to be similar to previous seasons, with standard G-League contracts offering around $40,500 for a five-month season

Making $250K net while playing professional basketball in Europe sounds pretty sweet including all those other perks.

My kids are playing baseball or basketball. No need to risk the concussions of football or lacrosse for minimal money longterm.

Where are you getting that 200-300K information from? Those sound like numbers for way more established players, in the main leagues. I love BB, but he ain't going to be picked up by a Spanish or Greek team.

Boo may still make an NBA roster.

Couple more years bouncing around and then it’s over for Boo. Hopefully the degree comes in handy.

No wonder you’re a redshirt.

Shurna is still playing in Europe entering hid 30s.

Boo can play overseas for a long time when he’s done trying to make the NBA.
