Put some respect on this man’s name! This forum use to always hate on Lowry!
 
Can Jody buy us a championship? I mean, if I’m a billionaire owner of the Blazers, I will buy us a championship team and I don’t care if I pay all that taxes.
 


Oh shit. Dame didn’t like that. Tells me two things about MPJ. He’s going to be a big time player for that much confidence to say that and he’s going to be a malcontent till he’s the man on a team

What that tells me about MPJ is that he might be more of a problem for his team than he's going to be for opponents and that's saying a lot. That's why Dame is shaking his damn head, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it, MPJ doesn't seem to care and Dame is about doing it right.

Dude played 33 minutes and had 1 assist.... Really now.
 
I didn't see anything wrong with Porter's comments at all. Getting more players involved and being less predictable is usually a good thing. And what's wrong about saying it publicly? I think we only have had one guy in Stotts era, Evan Turner, who even hinted publicly that Blazers needed to get more people involved. Of course he was a terrible shooter, but that's not the case with Porter.

The general culture in the NBA is different. He has an All NBA teammate and a guy who damn near averaged 50 in a series ahead of him in the pecking order. And he was horrible last game every possession after getting worked up after his dunk, while being a massive liability of defense. He's a rookie, and the hierarchy should be respected, at least in front of cameras.

Even ET chimed in on this last night.

 
Porter was clearly calling out Malone. Few players have the cache to do that and he ain't one of em. Recall his comments re. Covid. Guy ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

If him going off on this breaks up Denver and kills their future chemistry, I'm all for it. Don't need them actually integrating MPJ with Jokic/Murray successfully

MPJ is going to be a superstar imo. For a rookie to have that much balls and confidence to speak out like that man just imagine

Thats not balls, that’s called immaturity. In a team situation the worst thing you can do is air dirty laundry.
It’s not WHAT he said it was HOW.
Thats what Dame couldn’t believe. Have that talk in-house.

I'll tell you what, @AldoTrapani has been on this guys jock and after this little stunt I wouldn't trade him for CJ even if they added a bunch of picks... and I want a good to great SF for CJ soooo bad but not a team killing, half ass defender like this kid.
 
He’s been the #1 guy wherever he went and now he’s not. It’s just his immaturity coming out. Guys got talent and hope he learns from this. He will get his ass handed to him once he steps foot into that lockerroom.

Why they let him go to the podium in the first place is interesting.

Who is the veteran head there? Millsap?

I get that. He should have gave the Pc answer no doubt.

But historically the great ones have extreme confidence and want the ball, maybe he’s the next one..
 
MPJ is looking for scapegoats which is not what a GOAT would do.
