Over Currie's BOI.
Not having seen the contract of course, I'm assuming the buyout is whatever Manning's annual base salary is X the number of years remaining on his contract. He has 6 years left on his contract and is probably making at least $2m/year in base salary, so I'm guessing the buyout would be at least $12m. To me the biggest problem isn't the annual salary, but the fact we felt comfortable extending him until 2025. I get giving Jim Grobe a 10-year extension coming off an ACC title. Giving Manning a contract running until 2025 for getting us on the right side of the bubble is where Wellman fucked up.
Also not sure how they leave out my dudes Miles Simon and Khalid Reeves, if we're going for dudes who lit it up in the tourney but didn't do much after. If that is the theme, even, which it seems to be.
Khalid Reeves was NASTY.
1994 Tourney. They went to the Final Four. He and Stoudamire ran shit.

Just realized that our new Winston home is maybe a mile from Wellman’s. And I do like running through his neighborhood. Should I start spitting (and dispensing other liquids) on his property? Will that make me feel better?
You drop something at 5 on a Friday because you want to bury it, right? Or nah.
You guys are terrible
Somebody could write a pretty good tell-all book about Wake Forest basketball beginning with Skip’s death through the present. So many weird decisions and what-ifs during that time. El Chupe, get on it.

In every ep they meet British ex-pats in the towns they’re looking for houses in and ask really arcane questions about tax laws and health insurance and public transport and stuff. Plus at the end of like 95% of eps the outcome is like “well this cemented it for us, we really enjoyed visiting” and they don’t end up buying a place. A real joy.
