    Denny's really going to be bringing in some serious British traffic to this site when he signs here, much like with the Aussies when Patty came

    I guess this clears it up. This SI article is one of many that professes that rights do not expire. I seem to remember that the rookie pay scale expires after a certain amount of time, but I'm not certain about that.

    Freeland is having a miserable time of it playing for team GB. It doesn't help that Deng is essentially ball-hogging (he's the epitome of the role-player thrust into a starring role) and GB has zero good guards (Ben Gordon will have a field day if he actually decides to play in the London Olympics) so defenses can pack the paint. But the numbers ain't pretty. I wouldn't get too excited, to be honest.

    Finally Freeland comes through! 27 and 11 in a win over Poland. GB might even advance!

    I'm not sure how exactly the advancing works, but GB beat both Poland and Turkey, so regardless of what Turkey does against Spain now, GB should advance.

    Sadly not. Apparently GB needed to beat Poland by 58 points! So even if Spain had beaten Turkey, Turkey would have gone through. But if Poland had beaten GB, Poland would have gone through ahead of Turkey. I think.

    Still, glad Freeland had ONE good game.
