    Why does Kendrick Perkins look like he put an apron on his face?

    As a suns fan I remember marquees Chris getting in fights in the locker room and then getting mad we suspended him so we just decided to trade him, plus we wasn’t even trying hard

    It’s going to be a rough season for Toronto. They have high expectations and I don’t think they’ll do as good as people think, however I don’t think that they’ll be super bad, either.

    He’s right, these teams suck … and the players ARE under developed but Criss specifically already thought he made it before he did anything when he hit the NBA floor … “Gerald Green”

    Wait, so you’re telling me that it’s not some 19 year old kid’s fault that he cannot turn around a failing organization worth just over $2 billion, that has been around since before he was born? You think that it’s the fault of a lackluster front office?

    People are talking too much sense right now.

    both…..
    Player- 19 years old, thinks he’s mature but isn’t
    Team – know the player isn’t totally mature, but expecting him to be mature

    I wish more people understood this, teams literally ruin dudes’s careers sometimes with their mismanagement. We need to start blaming teams and owners way more for the mistakes that start with them. Not the players

    Everyone hates on Draymond but you gotta respect him as a teammate and he’s a pretty smart guy

    1,000,000,000,000 all facts the white man who doesn’t play waste talent but because they own the franchise they never so wrong

    It’s a two way street. Both players and teams deserve blame. Putting the blame on one side over the other isn’t solving the issue and you’re not being totally honest about the issue either…

    For teams: They rush young players into roles they are not ready for in hopes of winning. The league needs to utilize the G-League more. Perhaps raise the draft age by a year or two. Sure there are exceptional players who can come straight out of high school and do well but those guys are few and far between.

    For players: They want money and don’t want to play in development leagues where they won’t get paid nearly as much. They don’t want to stay in college and continue to develop and grow both physically and mentally. Everyone wants to be a star and make their money. Nobody wants to stay down in a league full of unknowns and have to work their way up. They think they’ve worked hard all their life and now they are ready for the big league but for most, they simply aren’t ready…

    I like how players have no accountability. Its now always the franchise fault, because of the player empowerment. How about its “Draft Experts” who project these kids?

    Kwame was drafted in the wrong era

    A lot also rests on the mindset of the players……guys like coby white, Tyler herro come with that confident mindset….start drafting guys with talent with that mindset to succeed

    Is Nick Friedell as much of a douche as he seems like?

    They get their confidence crushed early… because they aren’t good enough to play in the NBA… next to nobody is which is why NBA are willing to take chances on kids they think might be able to. Instead of risking injury they, and the people around them, decide that money now is a better bet than staying in college and developing skill. OK fair enough, but once you’re in the league… you’re a professional contractor… teams pay coaches to help your game along, and some teams are better than others… but you either catch up or you don’t. There are no victims. Once someone is paying you… especially considering the vast sums of money bench warmers and rookies are making by comparison to “regular people”… you are obligated to give people what they are paying for. If you can’t someone else can. If you’re willing to step up into a man’s world then you’d better be ready, and if you’re not… that’s on you. It’s not right to keep a player on, when there are ten right behind him that deserve it more. Should players be able to go from high school to the league? Yep. Are they all (minus the kobes and lebrons) going to ruin their careers doing it? Yep.
