Exclusive Around the NBA: Forgettable February edition

Deals are being proposed
Wizards have submitted an offer for Domantas Sabonis?

 

You forgot Russ shitty defense and gambling for steals.

Its a joke the guy is a top75 player.

Only playoff success he had was MVP Durant carrying that franchise. Dennis Smith Jr could've been the PG on those teams.

He's another Steve Francis/Stephon Marbury but he steals teammates rebounds. Sure it can be entertaining to watch. But he's not an elite PG nor an elite basketball player.

 

always played for stats.

 

what... who from the front office spoke badly about Gary? and his teammates like universally loved him.

 

lol, he wanted to be a starting 2G. He wasn't going to be that in Portland, so being depressed and crying about it is the solution?
I'm glad he's happy now, but blaming things on Portland doesn't jive with anything I've heard.

 

as a second rounder, he got so much more opportunity to play than guys ahead of him. And all the vets looked out for him and still do to this day- Hell, dame recorded a rap with him in the bubble and included him in every team gathering. CJ was the first to publicly congratulate him on his upcoming contract after he was traded.

Bunch of nonsense; people just talking shit about us when we're down.

 

agree.

 

again, totally agree.

 

GTS just wants his name in the spotlight it appears because it's fashionable to shit on our team and city now. The premise is just hilarious, as is GTJ's repeated commentary recently about how now his teammates finally believe in him. As if he didn't get 20+ mpg as a sophomore 2nd rounder, and 30+ his third year.

Let's also not forget GTS probably doesn't have great memories of his time here, so he might have an axe to grind.

Trent has had several scrapes with the law this year. In March, Trent was placed on probation for one year for harassing his pregnant girlfriend during a Jan. 7 domestic dispute. Roxanne Holt, 20, said Trent hit her in the face and kicked her in the ribs. She since has moved to Columbus, Ohio. Three days after his March court appearance, Trent was involved in a fight at the Metropolis Restaurant and Bar in downtown Portland. He allegedly hit a man over the head with a pool cue. Witnesses, however, said the man was needling Trent and threw a drink in Trent’s face before the blow was struck. A grand jury declined to indict Trent.

Trent spent a few hours in the Clackamas County Jail in January for failure to pay or respond to repeated false alarms at his home. He eventually was fined $2,650 _ $650 for 10 false alarms and $2,000 for a contempt-of-court charge for failing to pay the false-alarm citations.

 

Let's also not forget that Jr. was offered and rejected a 4yr, 50+ million deal as a third year player who was averaging 7 points a game for his career at the time. Didn't believe in him? What? Did his dad want a max deal?

 

I actually think he deserves Top 75 for his past achievement. He led the league in scoring, averaged a triple double, and won MVP. He was a plus player that year and it was pretty impressive. But now, he's awful. A major negative player.

 

Julius is ballin in utah

 

Julius can play, he's just not a first option. Seems like a really nice guy for the most part, FWIW

 

watched their game at Utah. He was killing it until the fourth when defense shut down his creation. The have no playmaking guards, so Jazz just clamped up Randle. I think he'd really flourish as a secondary playmaker
