Congratulations E-Man!

Look forward to seeing you in the NBA and in the stands at Moody.

Pony ^, the Woj of PFs reported this first.....

“@WojYahooNBA: Emmanuel Mudiay's one-year deal with Guangdong of the China Basketball Association will pay him $1.2M, source tells Yahoo Sports.”

“@WojYahooNBA: For China season, Mudiay has taken out significant insurance policies to protect future earnings against injury, source tells Yahoo.”

Well thank goodness for him.

LB said "hope he doesn't go to China"...guess money talks.

[FriscoPMG]

Not that I could easily turn down $1.2 million, but going to China just seems like a really dicey path to the NBA. He'll obviously still make it there next year because people already know how talented he is, but I'll be very curious to see if this hurts, helps or doesn't affect his draft stock.
Wish the best for him and I'm still pumped for SMU basketball next season, but sure wish his path went thru SMU & LB instead of China...

It can't help. He will not receive the coaching he would've here and he will not be visible at all over there. Every game SMU plays will be on the ESPN family of networks. Again, this wasn't really about the money. Regardless, he's a good kid and we should all wish him well.

I really don't care about anything he does anymore

The title is about Eman. If you don't care why did you click on the thread?

I wonder how much a paycut he had to take from what our Boosters were willing to pay him?

Sorry: I had a flashback to a 1980's Eric Dickerson joke.
