RE: Does Dallas have a real interest in Logan ?

If he did, my bad. I do remember his skipping a
quarter so that he can get ready for the league. Not
sure what has happened since. I had never heard
official word that he had graduated.

If basketball isn't in the cards for Steve, I have
to
wonder whether or not he has any interest in
Operation
Recall. If he won't play b-ball, how's he taking
care
of personal business?

You would think he would have signed on with one
of
the other minor leagues in the US.

Something to stay in shape and earn a little
money.

With the way he was cut so quick, it makes me
think
they were told how good he was but when he got
there
and played with them, they said "no thanks" or
something.

What else could it be ?

Maybe the reporter could do a followup ?

A bigger question is what was up with his bouncing
around the minors and
almost playing in Israel was it? If I remember, he
never really played any
ball. I'm wondering if this is a
mental/motivational
thing with Logan. I
know problems with his agent vs. Gary St. Jean at
GState had a lot to do
with him not signing originally.

Just seems like he threw a reasonably lucrative
and
good career right out
the door.

When do his rights lapse ?

Im just curious of both sides motivation for
including him.

Maybe Dallas figures they can get $50k for his
rights if someone wants to
pick him up.

But if he hasnt been playing regularly and is
overweight, I cant see any NBA
team wanting him.

Its a shame because I really thought he could make
it. He was one pick away
from guaranteed 3 year money.

Remember, his >draft rights< were traded, not the
player himself. So
now his rights belong to Dallas instead of GState.
All that means is
that Dallas gets first dibs, it does not mean they
will< sign him, it
means they >can< sign him.

With Jason Terry, Travis Best and Harris on the
Maverick roster, I do
not expect Dallas to sign him. Dallas' rights to
Lo
will likely lapse
and he would be officially a 'free agent'. I
wouldn't consider Logan
trade bait.

Logan did play Long Beach Summer ball.

I haven't seen a thing on him in the Dallas
Morning News since the trade
but
I'll keep an eye out. Personally I think he's
trade bait for someone who's
trying to dump salary. But I could be wrong
because the Mavs have a 2nd yr
player, Marquis Daniels, and a rookie, Devin
Harris, at the point this
year
so far.

I can't find any other mention of him. He may
have
been on the roster of a
team, but until I see a boxscore with his name,
I
do not believe he
played!
