he dont sound high as fukk here @42 Monks

I knew he turned down therapy but in typical young dude fashion he's still not putting two and two together. He had no idea how crazy he looked for weeks on end. In just about any field, when your employer recommends you attend therapy and you turn it down - expect to be let go shortly afterwards.

Him trying to explain to Mitch he had trade value too is just

I hope he gets himself to good spot no matter what he ends up doing. Good kid fr

He sounds naive as hell tho
.

1.You don't see results from therapy immediately

2. Why is he explaining his own trade value and not an agent? You don't do negotiations like that unless you already put in work and have some clout with the head honcho

Warriors 1-4 since Draymond got kicked out.

They were 5-2 in the games Draymond finished.



Not saying that's related, I'm sure it's just random correlation.

He clearly wanted to say something else in there but didn't want to get canceled.

Just saw Bridges gushing over LaMelo. "He's not just a star anymore, he's a superstar" after he went 13-31 in the course of barely winning a home game against the Wizards.

LaMelo is skilled, but he remains everything his detractors thought he would be. Lots of threes and pretty passes but his decision-making is still poor and he doesn't play defense for shyt. His impact-to-popularity ratio is low as hell.

All of this is true but what Bridges said is also true. LaMelo putting up borderline Luka raw numbers and Luka is not a winner so far either.

Luka just made a WCF, so comparing him to a bottom-dweller is pretty unfair.

And it's 2023, who cares about "raw numbers"? Yes, he's averaging 26-6-9 with bad shooting and horrible defense on a terrible team. He gets half his points from spamming threes against teams that can't be bothered to even play hard defense against the fukking Hornets.

Just looking at their opponent yesterday, Kuzma is averaging 24-6-4 and Poole averaged 20-3-5 last year. Am I supposed to consider them great basketball players too?

Melo is inefficient, carries a lot, and takes some pretty horrible 3s but I don’t think you can deny his impact on the game. He really is a force on offense with special floor vision, passing, finishing abilities.

I wouldn’t call him a superstar like Luka but he’s not far from it. His maturity both on and off of the floor will be what holds him back.

I think you meant to say Luka JUST missed not only the playoffs but even the play-in with Kyrie Irving as a 2nd option

Again, I'm not disagreeing with your characterization of Melo but truthfully, you can say that whole paragraph about Luka too, maybe he has slighlty better percentages but who cares.

And Damian Lillard has made a WCF too but he's never done sh*t as a first option either yet made the top 75 list.

I think we can cut LaMelo some slack on the superstar label.
