Nah fukk that Scottie had had ENOUGH.
They disrespected the fukk outta Scottie with not only the contract issue, but the OPEN trade rumors.
If you rewatch the second episode, THATS what made Scottie mad. Krause being a bytch and smiling in Pippen’s face while not even hinting that he was on the trade bloc@k. Every NBA star whose been traded without warning has been angry about that. You give your heart and soul to a team, for PEANUTS as their second best player and you have to find out from the media that you about to get the boot? Like a common street whore?!?!
I understand why Pippen was ready to light that whole arena on fire. Dude accepted he would always and forever be number 2 to the greatest player of all time. Gets paid like a scrub when he’s an all star. And then his name is in all these trade rumors and his GM can talk about it openly to the PRESS but not HIM?!?!
Scottie was 100% vindicated in being upset, no question, but it was fukk Krause across the board. Mike's foot was on Jerry's neck every chance he got, Phil didn't talk to him, no one was on JKs side.
Everyone knew what that season was : "Krause's bytch ass is getting rid of Phil after this year, so we're gonna go out chasing #6, this is our Last Dance". Knowing that and then pulling the surgery/trade-demand card out of nowhere when the season started was a slap in the face to Phil, MJ, Worm, and all them boys. None of that impacted Krause, he never wanted 98 to happen anyway so watching it go up in flames wouldn't phase him.
