I tolerated following Dwight on Twitter for a very long time but his recent takes since Olshey got canned have been very stupid so I finally pulled the plug.
Decades of bad takes and thinly disguised rooting against the team - and this is what gets him called out by a player? You can be critic of CJ and be happy he is gone (I am!) and still be disappointed the Blazers got so little it return. I would much rather see the Blazers get a good deal than argue that the trade proves I was right about CJ.
I'm not Jaynes fan, but Josh Hart's hardly a master of knowing about winning NBA basketball teams. He's never made the playoffs, and teams seem to be better after he leaves (the Lakers and now the Pelicans). It may just be coincidence, but casting stones while in glass houses and all that...
Yeah, it may be a coincidence that the Lakers got better once he left. Nothing at all to do with the Lakers getting Anthony Davis. And when the Pelicans traded Josh hart, they were (checks notes) 11 games under .500 And they ended the season (checks notes)...10 games under .500. Which, unless you're using a different form of math, isn't really much "better".
Obviously they did get a lot better from that trade if CJ and Ingram hadn't missed games in there the record would have been a bit better. That's not some knock on Hart though. The dude is a legit two way player but is most likely a 6th or 7th man on a playoff team or contender... unless the other guys starting with him are like some kind of big three or two MVPs or some shit. I like that we have Hart and think him at 13M next season is a good deal.
