He passed away when I was almost 13, but I used to go to games with him all the time (sat right by the Komets bench) and met the players and coaches.
In fact, I filled the void of an additional family member taking an active interest, as my Aunt and cousins weren't particularly interested in hockey (if not sports altogether) at the time. Within two years of my Uncle Ray's death, my Aunt sold her ownership share of the team and that was it.
Special memories that will last forever.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

The big question here, is would you be willing to pay overseas salaries to these guys? Would you be willing to pay Jared Sullinger $1.4M? Would you be willing to pay bench players a couple hundred thousand? I think the biggest two things are the financial incentive to play and paying for good coaching?
As for the arena's, I know the Canton Charge play in the Canton Civic Center which is a dump. But I am sure the distance from the Cavs as well as the price is right. The guys you mentioned above, would someone be willing to pay to play at Nationwide Arena? Would they be willing to pay to play at US Bank in Cincy?
Other stuff that would be involved would be per diem, hotel and travel expenses. I don't think bus trips will work from these guys coming from Europe.

LiAngelo declares for the draft. What’s the odds of everyone calling the bluff and ignoring an also ran son of the loud one?

They have lasted because the competition is terrible there. They are sometimes playing kids that are years younger than they are. Once the kid declared for the draft yesterday he proceeded to score 72 points against kids much younger than him. I do feel bad for these kids, their dad is an over obnoxious blow hard who only is thinking about money, not his kids well being!

Still, it's in the middle of nowhere where not a lot of people speak English. I thought they would be out of there as soon as they could and LaVar would be ginning up excuses why they left but they have decided to stick it out so good for them. I feel they will be in for a rude awakening when they get back to the States - especially the younger one.
I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

LaVar has been accused of embezzling over $2.5M by his former partner.
