Talk your shyt 40. Get yourself a senzu bean and get back on the grind

I feel nothing. It saved the season.

Should've never been here in the 1st place. The Fournier signing never made sense from the get-go

 

[Peter Popoff]

Good delivery, wrong person. Nıggas a bum.

He kinda has a point. I feel more strongly about never using Obi as a pick and roll big before dealing him. But this front office's patience is a gift and a curse because
gift: They don't make backbreaking moves or take big risks.
curse: They hold onto assets way past their peak value. It's like everyone can see the writing on the wall except for the FO.

At some point, they HAVE to take a big shot. They have to be decisive before Brunson's opt-out hits. I think whatever that move is will end up being the defining one for this FO...ironic because the Brunson signing is probably the most important move regardless.

Myopic shyt like this is why we're in this position.

You don't publicly devalue an asset you no longer see value in. You don't want him? Showcase him. Play him situational minutes against other teams benches and put him in a position to succeed. Play him in spots with other, capable defenders to cover his weak spots. Play him in blowouts and give him a greenlight. Do that and see if you can maximize your return while you can trick someone into believing he still has value- OR, don't, and take your scraps and shut the fukk up because signing him was a bonehead move to begin with and cut your losses. Addition by subtraction. These a$$holes rather go with this not negotiate with terrorists bullshyt and aren't doing either and now, nearly a month after the off season started, this frog is still on payroll talking shyt, devaluing his worth even more.

Dumb.

And you’re a RJ hater

I’m not a hater.

I speak facts.

Those stats are based more on his cold spells through the season and his overall play.

When he’s on he’s a good player the problem is he needs to do that for a whole season. It doesn’t help that he is playing as the third left handed player in the starting lineup.

U serious?

That man had one good month all season. It’s the hot stretches that should be seen as an aberration not his cold streaks.

fukk all that we have games to win he’ll be moved and that’ll be that it’s nothing to showcase that man is a 10 year vet on his fourth team the league knows who he is he’s not an awful player just didn’t work last season

 

[ISO]

I’d be tight too if a nikka I know I’m better than has an endless leash

Then they should've moved the nikka already, that's the fukkin point bruh. It's not we got games to win and that's it. They over here holding out for the "right" deal, fingers crossed for a star to shake loose to package him, meanwhile this nikka is getting chatty because his career is being held up, talking shyt about the coach and it looks bad for team business when players start talking about their coach pulling you out of the rotation like nothing.

Again, myopic shyt that doesn't consider the business as a whole because it wins us a few extra games in a season that don't mean shyt. Frog should've been gone but instead he's talking while on the team dime.

It's dumb. Simple.

Thibs is what da new culture call 'toxic'
That Fournier article in NYP just highlighted and reminded me why the man eventually wears out his welcome. He's an a$$hole and turns off prospective free agents.

Only other a$$holes would defend him at this point. Same shyt in Chicago and Minny. a$$holery.

If somebody wanted Evan. They'd have offered the picks/players already.
