Got him cheap for this year in regard to the cap and now it's all up to Latrell to earn his worth. It will either motivate him or if not South's havnt committed long term.
Great signing for sure, but there is no chance on this earth it was on the cheap or anything like that which is being reported.
No-one but no-one rejects a guaranteed mega offer for 4 years to take a 2 year deal at a far lower salary with conditions attached, especially when your whole career might only last another 8 years.
Call it shenanigans, call it creative accounting, call it creative TPAs.
Whatever it is, kudos to Souths.
