Draymond was right. Max and Stephen A. were funny. I don’t think Max understood the issue in entirety. He made good points while completely missing thee point.

I get Max’s argument but at the same time, I’ll watch any 12 guys on any nba roster play for any nba team. I promise you if the cavs released everybody and signed 12 dudes from Cleveland, I would not watch a game even if I got paid. So what power does the owner have again ?

new age. people are soft. its messed up that teams do that. but its not the wrong thing to do. teams have the right to do not play you snd trade you whenever. you’re making millions. stop complaining.

Max would condemn harden and leave him out of the all star conversation because harden forced a trade. But Max is over the moon with AD, even though AD did the SAME exact thing, sitting himself out, in the 18-19 season. AD was LOUDLY begging to be traded. SINCE THE DEADLINE! Does anybody remember him poking at it with a “that’s all folks” tshirt on his last home game. Such a contradicting dickhead.

Max took what Draymond said interpreted a completed different way. Draymon is talking about the media and public vilifying players for wanting to be traded. Where teams can trade players whenever they want and the media does not vilify teams for this. Ultimately imo if a player wants to be traded, trade him no vilification should be involved.

Max kinda missed the point here. Andre Drummond got no notice that he was getting shipped and that he couldn’t play. That is the embarrassment Dray’s talking about. You get “castrated” for not reacting like a human in those situations
