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.

I'd have to agree. Delaying a college graduation & taking $5MM to go to what you've been working for the prior decade is an easy one. Why risk the injury? Bummer that he'll miss senior week but I think he'll be OK as he enterains the ladies at his new pad.
If at the end of the junior year, I was faced with that "dilemma", I'd need all of half an eye blink to jump on it.
The risk of injury is always there but these guys are insured, so I'm not sure how serious it really it. I probably would take the money so long as I didn't think my stock would rise with another year in school. In that, I think Jeff and Roy both made the right decisions for them.
