Derrick Byars is playing for Chorale de Roanne of the French league. He has also recently changed agents, which is something that was brought to my attention via email by a Mr (or Mrs) B.D. Byars. So thank you, whoever you are. And if you have any idea how much guaranteed money Derrick got to go to training camp with
Philadelphia last year, and wish to share that with me too, that'd be good.
Will Bynum is playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel, where he was recently arrested and charged with a hit and run. Even more recently (Sunday), he was acquitted, after the judge ruled that his actions were the only reasonable ones that he could have taken in order to get away from the situation (Bynum and his car were being pelted by rocks by a large group of people who obviously didn't like him very much, and Bynum clipped one while speeding away). Strange times. Even stranger, none of the people doing the rock throwing got charged either.
Rashid Byrd, one of the greatest all time Random Training Camp Signings Of Seven Footers Who Happen To Play In A Gym Next To An NBA Team And Who Get Signed To Keep The Numbers Up, has gone back to the oblivion from whence he came. He is playing for the mighty OC Gladiators of the ABA.
Zarko Cabarkapa has not played professionally since leaving
Golden State. Whether this is due to apathy or injury, I could not say. But if I remember rightly, he had a problematic back complaint. So maybe it's that.
Justin Cage is playing for the Colorado 14ers in the D-League, and still isn't as good as his agent says he is. (What, by the way, is a 14er?)
Elden Campbell is long since retired, and was recently honoured as a "Clemson Legend".
Marcus Campbell is playing for Avellino in Italy after transferring from The Arse just this week.
Nik Caner-Medley is playing for Gran Canaria in Spain.
Jason Capel has quit playing professional basketball and is now a colour commentator. He's only 28, but apparently doctors told him to "shut it down". This story has movie potential. (That is to say, it has crap movie potential.)
Geno Carlisle's world tour of everywhere continues, and he is currently playing for Karisyaka in Turkey.
Bimbo Carmona is playing for Carolina in his native Puerto Rico, and still isn't someone that you've heard of. (Dammit, you should pour over
summer league and
training camp rosters some time. I do this often. Great fun. So many nobodies.)
Pat Carroll is playing for Alicante in Spain, and is also still entirely comparable to his brother
Matt in every way. Except Matt has six years of guaranteed salary coming to him, and Pat is playing in Spain throwing lob passes to
Martynas Andriuskevicius.
