    Just saw Terrence Ross retired at the age of 32.

    Not really due to health reasons or anything else. He just flat out decided he had a good enough career, made enough money, and wants to move on.

    Can't blame him for that. You're 32 and have made over 90m in your career. He could easily make that number over 100m but would rather retire before his body starts breaking down/he gets up there in age and use that time gained to spend with his family.

    Former dunk contest champ, I'm surprised he never put it all together in his career. He was looking like he'd be a great 3pt shooter who could also dunk, but his 3pt game never improved despite being around 38% from 3 in his early-mid 20s. Thought he'd wind up like the next Jason Richardson.

        Nobody signed him right? I’d probably retire too. I’m sure it takes lots of discipline to just sit around and stay ready with no guarantees. Seems he’s taken good care of his money and not fallen into that trap. I’d definitely walk while I’m healthy too.

            I’ll always remember him as a Raptor. Wish him the best in retirement.

                    Silver briefly talked about expansion and mentioned Mexico City, Montreal and Vancouver.

                    We all know Vegas and Seattle will be the next cities getting teams, but he mentioned they're not in expansion mode right now.

                    I'm surprised the league isn't looking at expansion when it's an easy few billion dollars to add to your league in expansion fees. The current CBA expired after 29/30, but their TV deal expires after 24/25.

                    I'd figure a tv deal happening with 2 expansion teams coming in would be better timing since you could probably work in the fact that you're adding 2 west coast teams in big markets.

                                        Seems like it. Apparently the deal was never official anyway but it’s a weird thing fora deal to get hung up on. Don’t have to listen to his foolery so I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth!

                                            That whole recording saga will always be hilarious to me. All the assistant coaches hated him so bad that they had to have secret tape recordings lol.
