Torii Hunter chose this burgeoning North Dallas suburb to build his dream home, a 19,900-square-foot, Mediterranean-style estate that sits on 20 acres

One of the better articles the Dingman Group has read this year. What a fantastic story about Torii Hunter, a man who's been through it all, especially off the field, and given his all to his sport, family and friends.
After signing a four-year, $32-million contract with the Twins before 2003, he bought townhomes and cars for all three of his brothers, who now live in Frisco, the town next to Prosper. He bought new homes for his mother -- a 7,500-square-foot home in a gated community on the outskirts of Pine Bluff -- and his mother-in-law. His friend Shabazz and his family live rent-free in Hunter's previous residence, a 3,500-square-foot home in The Colony, Texas.

A total of 25 players released by six NFL teams in just over one week...and more to come.

Household names like Muhsin Muhammad, Byron Leftwich, Alge Crumpler, Zach Thomas and Dan Morgan along with lesser known, hard-working athletes such as Peerless Price, Joe Toledo and Wayne Gandy all found themselves unemployed over the past eight days.
The harsh reality is that some of these players will never play again, and some will sign with another team down the road after several months of uncertainty and limbo. For others, a quick pick-up is possible, but that's just the beginning when considering relocation.

Eight lives interrupted, up-rooted and moved across country in the matter of hours --- all this after a week of bluffs and uncertainty.

The New Jersey Nets acquire Devin Harris, Trenton Hassell and Maurice Ager, center DeSagana Diop, forward Keith Van Horn, first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 and cash considerations from the Dallas Mavericks for guard Jason Kidd and forwards Antoine Wright and Malik Allen.

What does this mean for the players and their families that now need to relocate? Well, first off, it's not just Jason Kidd who is involved, it's seven other athletes too. The press just talks about the financial implications to the Franchise and how it will effect their performance as a team. the Dingman Group is striving to change this mind-set by bringing awareness to the trials, not just the tribulations associated with trades.
