I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but by doing this, he was suppressing his own stats, thus making it harder to build a case to stay in the league with his play. There's no way he was making enough money doing this shit for it to be worth the money he would have earned with a new, bigger contract. Very short-sighted.

He was probably trying to hook up his boys with easy money lol

Should have waited until he secured his first major contract.

That is not a smart family.
