Why has he not tweeted in like 4 years?

I have no idea, but that's interesting you brought to our attention. I wasn't even thinking he's not much of a twitter user when sending him that tweet. That brings up that there is a less of a chance he'll end up reading it if he doesn't use it much. Either that or he's more of a reader and rarely feels the need to post on it.

He tweets. He is self conscious and deletes A LOT. LOL, just before he got traded from the magic he deleted all his tweets and really hasn't done it much. He's kind of emo.

He is probably ecstatic and now will start to do it again. He has been losing for a few years and HATES it. I mean, he was miserable (while here in rebuilding) so i imagine there is not a happier guy on the planet right now. That means you guys will get an inspired, all-in, monster effort from him. I'm happy for him and hope he can elevate your team to that championship level.

Thank you, woosah. For both the comments and the insight. Also like what you guys are doing down there with your young guys, hope you're able to get another solid prospect this summer and push for the playoffs for real next year without any derailments.

I'll admit it....I didn't know what "emo" meant and had to google it

I do know what an emu is though. My neighbor had one in his pasture for a while

i hope we can resign aaa this off season. He's a very good acquasition if we can retain him and I'd love this team with him going forward. I'm looking forward to possibly seeing a lillard-Wes-aaa-la-rolo lineup

Him being an Emo doesn't fit their "culture"...

Thanks. Maybe i should not have called him emo, but it was kind of a joke thing a few of our fans called him because of how he tweeted. He is very positive and mostly posted inspirational type quotes, or pics of his workout pics or plans to workout. Sometimes though, his tweets would be cryptic and some of the fans would respond with jokes or question him, and then he would delete it so that's why they would say "oh he let's it bother him. he's so emo." He is just conscious of how he is viewed and if there is misunderstanding and he doesn't want to explain (and he shouldn't) then he just removes it and goes on. He was a quiet locker room guy and lead by example type of player here, and in Denver was one of George Karl's favorite players. He shouldn't be a problem to your culture in any way. Just wanted to clarify.
