If you think Daniel Wells will end up a penniless junkie in a gutter, think again.

I remember the University of Memphis playing a game against the Geelong Supercats YEARS ago. Vaughan tore the backboard to pieces on a monster dunk. Kinda tried to follow him after that....shame it went to shit for him.

It really should be used as an example to all the rookies coming in every year.

Hell he could make some cash by giving life talks to the new crops.

Things can go bad, doesn't matter if you think you've made it.

Wise money use etc, you don't need the gold chain with the spinning diamonds.

Remember Mota Ellis last year? Did his knee or something after coming off a bike. Riding a Bike is ileagle under the T&C of his (and all NBA players) contract. Now he'd just signed this contract. What is the accidence ruind his leg and he couldn't play. Not only would the GSW not pay him a cent, they could take action against him for breaching the contract.

He'd apparently just bought a new house new cars new everything and owes a lot of money, money that he'll recouperate over the course of this and next years as they pay cheques roll in.

He could have been in real SHIT.

He came straight out of HS and has not done and future education courses. What would he do for a crust?
