thought it'd be funny to try and track down old players that are still playing ball. Please add if you can find any. Idc who they are playing ball for they just have to still be playing basketball. Or played last year.

Baron Davis- http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14904675/former-all-star-baron-davis-dunks-d-league-debut Currently playing for a D league team

Manny Harris-http://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Turkey/Turk-Telekom-Ankara/196

Playing for a Turkish team and getting around 17-20 PPG wherever he's been the past couple years. Was very sought after oversees after he left the D league.

Samardo Samuels-
http://www.fcbarcelona.com/basketball/basketball-team/staff/players/samuels

Playing for FC Barcelona as a reserve. Seems to be doing well. Also comes off the bench with Joey Dorsey. Another NBA talent that was never realized in the NBA but made a name overseas.

Luke Harongody/Semih Erdin-

http://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Turkey/Darussafaka-Dogus-Istanbul/195

Playing in Turkish league with On the same team. I was actually surprised he was still playing but idk why. Dudes motor was huge. He's getting 12 and 7 with Darussafaku. Erdin is getting 8 and 3.

Jawad Williams- http://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Turkey/Royal-Hali-Gaziantep/4145

Still kicking it lol

Christian Eyenga couldn't find link because I'm lazy but I know he's a big part of an Itailian team in the Turkish league.

I'll go ahead and say it:

Luke Walton took Byron's job in Los Angeles a few years after essentially taking his job as a player/coach in Cleveland.
 
Can't have a WATN thread without mentioning Luke HaranGODy

All those players listed but Samardo start for their teams so they have had success. Crazy tho that we basically had a euroleague roster for Scotts tenure and he still coaches us with everything he had lol
 
Ramon "got us a 1st rounder" Sessions - backing up Wall in DC
Alonzo "2K hack" Gee - 3G service in New Orleans
Ryan Hollins - 15th man on some NBA roster, most recently Memphis
Omri "assfingers" Casspi - somehow became a pretty good player again in Sac
Donald Sloan - had a very respectable season in Brooklyn this year
Wayne Ellington - horrible season with Brooklyn this year
Chuck Jumpers - doing his thug dizzle in Indiana, had a spectacularly bad playoffs
Ball Hard - somehow an important piece to OKC's title hopes
Tyler Zeller - buried on the Celtics bench
Shaun Livingston - Warrios :(
Mo Buckets - Warrios :(
Christian "posterized Gasol that one time" Eyenga - bouncing around Italy
Semih Erden - Turkey

Salute to our soldiers.
 
At this rate if the Sixers were really committed to tanking they would hire Byron Scott.

They already have enough lotto picks at this point. I don't think they need to tank any more.
 
It's amazing how Varejao looks 1000x more douchey wearing those colors.

Didn't we use a first round pick on this guy?

That 2009 draft had terrible depth of talent. A few players drafted afterwards have become 9th or 10th guys in a rotation, most are also out of the league.

Figures the Lakers would hire another ex-Cavs coach.
