That can't be for real.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Giricek and T.J. Ford

[Black and White]

Im pretty sure Johnny Flynn was playing the the Australasian NBL, forgot who for though, Melbourne maybe??

[outbreak]

That can't be for real.
it is, wasn't he in summer league a few years back looking huge?

[#number6ix#]

Big Country Bryant Reeves and shareef abdur-rahim

[scott0326]

Joe Alexander, Donte Green, Julian Wright and Al Thornton.

Primarily Al Thornton, what the hell ever happened to him? I remember him being very good for the Clippers one year, then got dealt to the Wizards, played decent and I never heard about him ever again.

This is a good one too. I remember his little stint with the Raps, don't know what happened to him since.

WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FOLKS. YALL MIGHT KNOW MORE THAN GOOGLE!

[bdreason]

I'm kind of interested in what happened to Al Thornton too.

[bdreason]

Wright is playing in Europe last I heard.

[andremiller07]

Giricek and T.J. Ford
Shaq put him in a sleeper hold and chocked him out and TJ Ford had to retire due to either neck/back issue when he was with the Spurs.

[Im so nba'd out]

johnny flynn was out of the league so fast i dont remember him being terrible.He had to have some huge flaw in his game to be out of the league after like 2 years

[VIP2000]

Rashad McCants

Desmond Mason

[scott0326]

I tried looking up some of these guys. Thornton is apparently playing in China for the same team Wilson Chandler played for, couldn't find out if he was playing well or anything though. Kind of surprised he couldn't find a job in the NBA, he seemed like a pretty good player.

Julian Wright apparently has been bouncing around. He played in Isreal in 2012 and is currently playing in Russia. I also found an article saying he plans to return to the NBA, but there hasn't been much interest.

[qrich]

Al Thornton man. He had a good rookie year, I for sure thought Clippers found Maggette's replacement for six or so years. But then, his sophomore year, dude would attack on athletic defenders, but take fadeaway jumpers over Kyle Korver.

Some that weren't named yet:

Antonie Wright is another. I thought he would for sure be a solid role player for years to come, but he just vanished in a second.

Josh Powell was solid on a tanking Clippers squad, and thought he would be in the pros as a third energy big off the bench. No where to be seen. Same with Craig Smith (playing in Israel).

[HarryCallahan]

Im pretty sure Johnny Flynn was playing the the Australasian NBL, forgot who for though, Melbourne maybe??

Yeah Melbourne. Not even a stand-out player in the NBL. Sam Young is dropping 20 point games like it's nothing.

[Eric Cartman]

Rashad McCants

Holy shit that NC team was nothing but NBA busts :lol

[Dr. Ice]

I dont understand the hedo turkoglu situation, he's still technically on the Magic's roster right?

[MiseryCityTexas]

Flynn was turning into a solid NBA pro and had a solid rookie season until his leg injury robbed him of all his quickness and athleticism and immediately turned into a scrub that following year.

[zoom17]

Giricek and T.J. Ford

didn't T.J. Ford retire

[MiseryCityTexas]

Antoine Wright had his chance to crack an NBA rotation twice. I seen him get a lot of PT in his last years with the Nets, and he even started a couple of games for the Mavs, and he pretty much sucked in all the games I've seen him play in.

Sean Williams is another guy everyone expected to be good but ended up being a journeyman/bum. I remember him most from blocking shots and catching alley oops from jason kidd.

[East_Stone_Ya]

Yi Jianlian and Joe Alexander came to my mind

[Groovy Kat]

Leonardo Barbosa. Hes only 30

[NickTheQuick31]

Yeah T.J. Ford retired due to a neck related injury I believe.

Jonny Flynn played here in Australia last season, no clue on where he is playing right now.

Plenty of talented guys without NBA jobs right now, how did nobody pick up Ivan Johnson for this season? Was a very solid role player for Atlanta the past 2 years.

[Doranku]

Luther Head?

[Jakeh008]

I was gonna post Tyronn Lue but I looked him up instead.

Says hes an assistant coach for the Clips.... Also found out hes from Mexico, Missouri.

[Quizno]

you guys remember flip murray? he hasn't played since 09-10 and he was putting up 10 ppg. he had a solid reason with the bobcats, was traded, finished the season with the bulls...never heard from again

[Xiao Yao You]

He worked out for the Jazz before camp started this year.

[MMM]

Vincent Yarbourough(sp)

Remember him being good in Tennessee and getting drafted by the Nuggs prior to Melo arriving. He actually started a series of games as a rook, i personally thought he looked solid but he was out of the league after his rookie year.

Why didn't Morris Almond make it? Couple years ago he was dominating the developmental league but no one ever called him up. Strange. Has he been blacklisted?

[Rockets(T-mac)]

James Posey, guy was s solid roll player and was huge for both the Miami and Boston title runs. Don't remember what happened to him after that.

Leon Powe had a big game I think in the finals the year Boston won, but didn't here about him since.

Morris Peterson, guy was fun to watch on the Raps, I think he played for New Orleans for a year after he left the raps, but don't know what happened after that.

Posey is old as fu#k. He had a good career for what he was. He's retired. Powe had a bad injury. Peterson not sure but he's old too.

[qrich]

Bonzi Wells is another one. Dropped 23/12 on 61/63/65 shooting in a 6 game series versus the Spurs. Fell off drastically right after that
