You're right, another possible factor to consider about which we have absolutely no idea.One thing people also seem to have forgotten is Kofi's relationship with Fletch

"I'll stay here and continue to take classes and play for free because I like the conditioning coach."One thing people also seem to have forgotten is Kofi's relationship with Fletch
I wasn't implying that. But we're talking about relationships and people mentioned OA leaving being a reason he'd stay in the draft. Well, he also has a major relationship with Fletch."I'll stay here and continue to take classes and play for free because I like the conditioning coach."
-no one ever
Yeah, I wasn't busting you. Just a joke about the things we're telling ourselves to convince ourselves Kofi will stay.I wasn't implying that. But we're talking about relationships and people mentioned OA leaving being a reason he'd stay in the draft. Well, he also has a major relationship with Fletch.
It's a reasonable point, but I think the obstacles to Kofi's draftability seem to be more skill-based than conditioning-based. OA is unquestionably the skill guy.I wasn't implying that. But we're talking about relationships and people mentioned OA leaving being a reason he'd stay in the draft. Well, he also has a major relationship with Fletch.

DRS: To pull 3% a year, you need to be earning 5%. The first 2% are eaten by inflation (historical average). An older person can risk pulling 4%.That is a low ROI, but your point is well taking. I would expect at least a 5% if you play the market broadly, frankly there are dividends that pay higher then this and if you are living off your investment you should be considering those. Of course year to year fluctuates. With a 750k nest egg and house paid off you would still have to work to maintain a middle class life without an attempt and risk of more aggressive investment. However, that 750k, if even just moderately well invested, could easily be in the millions when you retire if you worked a job.
If you are drafted by the Bulls and buy the house in Cook or Lake County, subtract another 20k for property taxes.DRS: To pull 3% a year, you need to be earning 5%. The first 2% are eaten by inflation (historical average). An older person can risk pulling 4%.
Seagee: Not to mention percentages taken off the top by agents, financial managers, etc.
I agree that if you take any job that it makes things a whole lot easier. The 3% can supplement the job. Alternatively, if they can afford to leave it untouched in the market, it can become a very nice early retirement. On average, for every 10 years that you leave the money in the market untouched, it doubles (including inflation). Thus if you can avoid touching it for 20 years (So they are now ~45), that is now 88k (2M initial) or 144k (3M initially) per year. That is quite doable given that you already own the house.
As far as you know.View attachment 8767
So you are saying that Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, 6'9" with the afro, would take the power forward spot and convince Kofi to stay. The plot thickens........
Is AJ foregoing his senior year of high school because there is no way Kofi comes back as a 23 year old?Imagine Kofi playing the 5 with a jumpshot from 14 feet, quickness to react and cover perimeter/15 to 20lbs lighter, how much agility and stamina would increase and having DAMONTE, ADAM MILLER, GRANDISON play their natural positions. ADD Tre Mitchell and A.J. Casey and Illini will win the BIGTEN.
Please don’t over analyze a Kenny slam33 post. Enjoy them for the poetic brilliance that they are.Is AJ foregoing his senior year of high school because there is no way Kofi comes back as a 23 year old?
All of these financial predictions for Kofi are kind of silly. Mine is that he makes far more from Hollywood/Madison Avenue contracts than basketball contracts over his career.DRS: To pull 3% a year, you need to be earning 5%.

I miss him already!
Why don't you just ride him piggy-back?!
