Lawson's draft stock plummets

Posted Jun 7, 2008

Is it possible to violate the terms of a contract without ever signing the contract? If the Nuggets made any promises to North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson, all bets are off now. Lawson hurt his NBA draft prospects Friday when he was arrested for drinking and driving in Chapel Hill. Not a good move less than three weeks from the draft. Heck, even Lindsey Lohan thinks Lawson used poor judgment. (Rocky Mountain News)
