I saw this thread over on the Kentucky board. It looks like a 'Las Vegas Dealers' team consisting of McDonald's All Americans is in the works. They're going to offer a $700k salary to the tier A 'one &done' type players, $400k for tier B college underclassmen, and $100k for Tier C (free agents?). The team will compete against European teams affiliated with the EuroLeague. At press time offers are in the works for 2015 McDonald's All-Americans.
Is this even viable as a business deal? Or is it perhaps another way for agents to latch onto players in an effort to represent them in the league? Are Nike & Adidas going to throw shoe money at this venture? A lot of questions in my mind. I don't know how or if this can work. It will be interesting if some of the 1&Dones bolt for the money...if this turns out to be legit.
