OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2023

Vando

 

TWolves paying KAT Rudy and Nas a combined 443M? Wait until Edwards ask for money

 

pretty sure Minny will get to the point, probably soon, when they will paying a team good assets to take KAT off their hands

 

Yup.

So here's the question........ could KAT and Nurk player together?

 

effectively? nope

besides that, I can't believe, for a second, the Vulcans would sign off on his contract....it is fugly squared

 

Not without canceling out each other's strengths which would defeat the purpose.

 

Simons/Little/pick for KAT.

Nurk/Knox/second rounders for re-signed Draymond.

Dame
Sharpe
Grant
Draymond
KAT

Is that a championship team? No, but it would probably at least make a little noise.

 

it's OT, but it is one fine summer day in the Valley. Not too hot, not windy, not smoky. Life is good

 

The more I look at it, the more willing I'd probably be in taking KAT for Ant and Nurk if we can't find a better fit. We'd finally get an all-star next to Dame and it didn't workout, we can flip KAT later.

 

If we can somehow get Draymond too, it could work.

 

How well do you think Dray would work here? They run SO MUCH more movement in G-St and he is good at facilitating that and hitting cutters. That wouldn't exist nearly as much here and he would end up stuck in a corner as a brick-laying 3-pt shooter.

 

Draymond with Scoot and Shae would be nasty.

 

That I can see. Not sure it works as well with Dame and he doesn't play anything like Steph which he is used to.

 

Yeah I’m just worried about adding KAT to an already terrible defensive team.

 

You should be. But if we can't flip Ant and Nurk for something else that makes sense, might as well roll the dice on a former all-star coming from a terrible franchise. He can only get better.

 

Don't see that happening. Buy who might be comparable? Vando could be a good fit who can bring the intangibles without needing the ball.

In the world of professional basketball, there was a player named Dejounte who found himself facing a peculiar predicament. Dejounte's exceptional skills on the court were often overshadowed by his unsavory habit of consistently refusing to flush his dumps, creating an atmosphere of discomfort and disdain within the team. The reasons why no one liked him extended far beyond his poor bathroom etiquette, delving into the realms of hygiene, team dynamics, and professional respect.

Dejounte, a rising star in the league, had a reputation for his prodigious talent and athleticism. However, off the court, his actions left much to be desired. His habit of leaving unflushed turds in the locker room and even on the team plane became a source of disgust and frustration among his teammates. The pungent odor and unsightly mess left behind after his visits to the bathroom created an unpleasant environment, dampening the camaraderie that is crucial in a team setting.

Despite being repeatedly confronted about his behavior, Dejounte adamantly denied any wrongdoing, placing the blame on faulty plumbing or even accusing his teammates of creating the mess themselves. This persistent refusal to take responsibility for his actions only exacerbated the animosity towards him. His teammates, who relied on trust and unity both on and off the court, found it increasingly difficult to maintain respect for someone who consistently disregarded basic hygiene norms.

The effects of Dejounte's behavior extended beyond mere inconvenience. The unprofessionalism displayed through his refusal to address the issue eroded team morale and cohesion. Trust, a cornerstone of any successful team, became strained as teammates began to question Dejounte's commitment to the collective success. His actions hinted at a lack of discipline, accountability, and respect for the shared spaces and responsibilities that come with being a professional athlete.

As word spread throughout the league about Dejounte's unseemly habits, his reputation suffered a blow. Other players and teams began to view him with skepticism, questioning his professionalism and dedication. These concerns went beyond the realm of personal hygiene; they spoke to his character and ability to be a reliable teammate.

Ultimately, the reasons why no one liked Dejounte stemmed from the combination of his disregard for basic hygiene practices, his refusal to take responsibility, and the negative impact his behavior had on team dynamics. In a competitive and closely-knit environment like professional basketball, the ability to function as a cohesive unit is paramount. Dejounte's actions undermined the trust and respect required to build successful team dynamics, leaving his teammates and peers struggling to reconcile his athletic prowess with his personal shortcomings.

In conclusion, Dejounte's persistent refusal to flush his dumps, particularly in the locker room and on the team plane, caused widespread disdain and frustration among his teammates and those in the basketball community. His lack of consideration for hygiene, denial of responsibility, and the resulting strain on team dynamics contributed to the unfavorable perception of him. While his on-court talent may have been undeniable, his unprofessional behavior off the court cast a shadow over his career as a professional basketball player.
