    That he would make the decision to decline and work on his game is very mature for a 19 year old. Props to him for recognizing the bigger picture.

    I look forward to what he can become.

    I am glad he changed is mind and let's be honest if i were to guess part of it was the fact they left him off the rookie -soph game or whatever that thing is called now so he was like screw you and the dunk contest. However let's assume i am wrong and could be the dunk contest is kind of a joke

    Maybe, just maybe he was under the impression that he would be there to play in a basketball game as well. Maybe he wants to be known as a basketball player and not just a dunker. Maybe he doesn't want motherfuckers saying shit like he's just the next Gerald Green or some stupid shit like that. Just referring to anyone who would say that type of thing not anyone in particular.

    Really got a sick feeling in my gut that he’s being traded and that’s why he’s dropping out. He’s been practicing for weeks just can’t see him dropping out.

    If hes traded it better be for Siakam

    What does being traded have to do with anything

    That’s not why sir. The dunk contest really isn’t cool anymore. These dudes don’t dig it like they once did. Too cool for school.

    You also could stop replying to his dumb statements, as in don’t give it any attention at all.

    I swear if you’re a negative poster on this board you get more interaction with people here than anything, and it should be the other way around.

    We got a John Canazno 2.0 running around on this board for crying out loud.

    My tone was meant to be playful. There’s nothing wrong with @AldoTrapani, mr ultra serious.

    I think not being invited to the futures game had a lot to do with his decision.

    Good on him. Winning the dunk contest didn't do much for Simons.
