He jumped from team to team after that because all the money he signed for when he was good, didn't make any fiscal sense anymore once he was just mediocre. I forget the terms of that deal he had, but I know it was a long term contract & Orlando got hardly any return on that deal.
After the contract ran it's course, he was very much a hanger-on in my opinion. A shell of his former self.
I found the whole thing to be hilarious because there's this nonsense where Hardaway is trying to get a tryout with Miami, at the same time it's being rumored that they're trying to get Shaquille O'Neill! Why not try to get Micheal Jordan, Magic Johnson & Larry Bird out of retirement?  |
What I remember most about Penny, was that he was often injured. Good player, just brittle.
I'm guessing you've also heard about the 'bankrupt sensation' Antoine Walker also wanting to come out of retirement? He needs the $$$, mind you..
(Him, along with Pippen, Spreewell...
)
How long do you figure JaFlubber Russell will last before he's filing for Chapter 11? (or in jail for 'purple drank')
