There has to be something there wrong with him. I can't believe he's just not going to play cause he don't feel like it.

It's not like it's a contract year and he's trying to keep from getting injured. Dude is paid, and how could he not be hype to start a new season?

Because he NEVER wanted to be there...

I saw the pics before, but just having a hard time believing a professional athlete can be such a p*ssy about this.

You're getting paid millions of dollars to play a game you love. Hornets have Davis now, so they're going to get more pub just off of that alone, why not go out and ball out and play with a chip on your shoulder?

he's like Howard as soon as he's traded he will all the sudden become healthy. Honestly they need to get rid of that right to match shyt because it's not fair to the player but like ya'll said he should of played the last year out before signing the offer sheet.

It happens from time to time in every sport...

Hell remember last season when Chauncey Billups was threatening to be a locker room cancer on teams if they picked him up off waivers?


Gordon was a restricted free agent last year. It was obvious from the jump that he didn't want to be in New Orleans, he fukking begged them to just let him go to Phoenix and they matched Phoenix's offer anyway....

When you keep a player that makes it obvious he doesn't to play for you team this is the type of shyt you might run into.

Howard was legit injured. It's stupid to say otherwise.

Howard also didn't suddenly become healthy. He got his surgery WAY back in April. If anything he came back later than you'd expect given the recovery time from the surgery he had.

He had a legitimate beef

Duke was a vet being jerked around the country

The brother has a family to think about

And Eric Gordon wasn't jerked around? The Clippers owner and GM called him in for a meeting to reassure him that he wasn't on the trading block. After the meeting he seemed happy as fukk and he was traded a couple days later.

It was obvious from the jump that he wanted no part of New Orleans. New Orleans chose to hold onto a player that clearly had no desire to be there.

I'll say again, what he's doing is wrong and unprofessional, but I understand where he's coming from.

They ended up with Anthony Davis and the 10th pick that they fukked up on by taking Rivers

Having Davis is better than anything any other team could offer

OKC got more for Harden than Orlando did for Dwight


The fukked up thing is.......Orlando could have gotten even more from Houston....

They could have either done a straight up trade with Houston or done the three way deal that would have sent Dwight to L.A. and Bynum to Houston.
