Hope Shake gets more minutes and becomes an important part of his new team.

If he saves that money, he’s set for life. Congratulations on your contract.

Sure hope Shake is a smart man. Yes, he could be set for life.

Somebody like the Gardner Group would take care of him. I know there are many in the SMU family, but Greg was my family's choice.

He is a smart guy. You can bet he and his agent had a team of financial people around him before he signed his first contract.

There were times that it looked like he was forcing his way into a bigger role in Philly. Hope he gets that chance in Minnesota.

I don't know him but also have the impression he's a bright enough guy to save/invest wisely to set himself up for a very comfortable life after his playing days are over.

I don't think that was his fault. Tyrese Maxey's emergence is what took most of his minutes away.

I've always wondered whether Shake and Tyrese might have played in the same backcourt at SMU if Larry Brown had been retained

Anthony Edwards obviously is a star, but is there anyone else in the Minnesota backcourt who is guaranteed a bigger role? Mike Conley has been good for a long time, but he's 153 years old. Hopefully Shake will get a chance to shine.

Through 4 pre-season games, Shake has played in all 4 games, started one game, averaged 20 minutes per games and 8 points per game on 61% shooting including 44% from three. He's averaging 2.3 boards and has 14 assists vs 6 turnovers but he's the # 5 guy on the current depth chart. Hope he moves up but 20 minutes per game off the bench is not bad and those kind of numbers should make him a valuable guy off the bench.

Season is young. Shake got more minutes as guys got injured and showed to be a very capable guy off the bench. I think that's what will define his career

I never understood why people don't just put all the lion's share of their money in the S&P500 then a little bit in a savings or mm fund that's returning 5% now. Is it really more complicated than that? Honest question as I am not the master of finance or anything close.

That's been my approach along with a diverse bond fun and it works pretty well for a conservative investor. Mix in a few favorite individual stocks if you have money to play with. Hopefully Shake is capable of managing his money himself or has a trusted relationship if he wants to pay higher fees for someone else to manage his money.

How can you buy a 19 bedroom house doing foolish things like that?
