LOL @ that Pillar article
"“I got a call from the areas scout immediately after my pick was announced and he told me how much money they were going to offer,” said Pillar. “He said $1,000, so I asked for $2,000. He said no. Then I asked when I was going to leave and he said tomorrow. I said I'd be there.”"
In an era where players argue over millions, this guy tried to get an extra 1K. Good for him, hard work paid off.
