Grizzlies rookie Xavier Henry sat out the summer league at the urging of his agent, Arn Tellem, because he couldn't come to terms on a contract. NBA rookies are slotted into a salary, a value that can be negotiated between 80 and 120 percent. Memphis offered Henry 100 percent of the rookie scale and has proposed that the additional 20 percent be earned through bonuses. It has been customary for rookies to receive 120 percent of the rookie scale without having to clear hurdles. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jul/18/nba-summer-league-review-hedging-bets/
