Pops and Kawhi broke up.Well this thread is going about as well as I imagined. Funny how when we look at KPj some people say when playing bad "see what a mess he is" and when he plays great "he's selfish it won't last".... Yet when Garland played bad they say "guys, he's so young, he's gonna have rough games" but when he's good, "look at the potential".
Anyways this isn't an that surprising... The fans reaction, or Kevin's playing.
What is weird to me is just how messed up our organization has seemingly been run this year. It'd be one thing if it was just one story, but basically sidelining Drummond and Porter for months... What quality NBA front office has anything even remotely similar? It just feels messy.
Calling out selfishness in the NBA is a weird concept to me too. We are talking about a league full of some of the most selfish, spoiled people on the planet. You don't have to go far at all to hear crazy tales about the players. Unlike a lot of sports where there are 50 plus people on your team and are wearing masks and hats, the nba rosters are much smaller and everyone is completely exposed. It pretty much is what it is.
And how can you blame cavs fans for being upset losing 2 of the best players we had this year for nothing... Actually worse than nothing as we had to pay a bunch of money to do it too help the Lakers and Rockets...
It's a players league, always was, always should be, and probably not even enough really considering other people profit more than the players on it... But I digress. The point is, maybe a mirror on the front office is worthy.
Not sure why I wrote all this, but happy Monday! Ha.
Kyrie and Boston parted ways.
Drummond and KPJ were acquired with a second round pick and the 30th pick. We got nothing and a second round pick when we dispatched them because that’s what they were worth on the market. Marginal investments. Picks that late usually don’t pan out.
