Would have signed the $100 million dollar contract a year earlier had he left after 1 year, so yes, he definitely cost himself money.Barnes turned down millions of dollars...only to sign a contract that when it ages out, he will have made over $100 million. Yeah, what a moron.
The Barnes example is funny, #1 recruit and will make a fraction of what guys like Kyrie, Tatum, Bagley, etc. end up making. But sure, he's the UNC big money guy, and is a 2nd option on a terrible NBA team, lol.
