Very extensive q and a he gives espns Sam Alipour.
You guys buying this?
Blurbs:
I'm in better shape than 90 percent of the guys who played last year.
I'm not going to come back for no veteran's minimum......At least two years, $10 million.

You're often spotted in Vegas and it's well known that you like to gamble. Is your comeback attempt at all related to gambling?

No, it's not about gambling. I have money. I have six car washes. I have one that's worth $10 million, one that's worth $5 million. You know, like, I'm probably worth $25 million dollars in assets.

A lot of guys in the league are not in good shape that have starting jobs.  Nene and Curry come to mind right off the top....but 5 million for Charles Oakley?!  LOL  Right.  I wouldn't pay 5 million for Reggie Miller and I know he can still shoot a basketball better then most players in the league.  Oak is one twisted ankle away for being done not just for the reason but forever.
