An Offer You Can't Refuse?

I have a quick question for all of the alumni who find their way to this blog. Imagine that you are still a student on the Hilltop. If someone offerred you $5 million to leave Georgetown and go do something else you loved, would you take them up on the offer even if it meant delaying your graduation? I think it would be pretty hard to turn down such a proposal.

With that in mind, I guess Jeff Green made a good decision. The Sonics signed him to a contract this weekend. ESPN reports that Green will make $2.548 million his rookie season, and $2.739 million his second year. Seattle will have a one-year optoin on Jeff for his third and fourth years.

Good Luck In Seattle Jeff

Jeff Green was selected as the fifth overall pick in last night's draft by the Boston Celtics, as part of a deal that sent Jeff to Seattle, where he joined the second overall pick, Kevin Durant. That dynamic duo should add some excitement to the Pacific Northwest for years to come.



Here is video of the selection.



And here is a collection of Jeff Green highlights. He will definitely be missed.
