I was just asking a friend of mine wtf is going on. I'm not a big NBA guy anymore but it's just weird guys will show zero effort and see no change in playing time in the league. Whereas in the NFL this stuff gets you benched. I saw a clip of Ayton half assing it recently, and Poole been doing this shyt for awhile now. He got his money and tuned out, seems obvious...

ayton has been half assing it all year
Nfl doesn't have guranteed contracts. Nba does, these guys are on big contracts and getting their money anyways

Even with the guarantees it seems like there is more leverage to sit guys though right? You paying him regardless and most guys can't successfully demand a trade, why not just bench guys until they get on the same page with the team/coaches?

Try explaining to your owner why you are benching a guy getting paid 20 plus million a year when you are already on the hot seat (billups and unseld jr)
Their teams suck that sadly playing poole and ayton is still their best chance of winning

Marc Stein don't got no pull to running his mouth like that.

The aggregators are twisting what Stein wrote.

Nah the team needs to get some baddies to sit courtside to unlock his full potential

That might make it worse, last thing he needs now is to see some IG piece w/ 500k followers point at him & say to her friend "isn't that the boy that got knocked out?"

He didn't know the clock would keep going.

It's only November.

All-time unserious shyt. We are watching something truly special


EDIT: "Special". Don't even ask me how

Oh my god

This is generational foolishness

Poole was a -26. Shot 11-26 to get his 30 points.

 

[yseJ]
