He gets knocked down and is in a tussle. No one comes.
I believe that... I just don't believe he has a problem with Taj or Jo not playing hard or needing to be coached harder.... I think he is (I KNOW he is talking about other players). Does Jimmy hang out with them? I'm not saying that. Jimmy has obviously alienated some teammates lately... he warms up on his own... he wasn't there for team binding activities in NoCal. Now we have this.
The rumors of alienation is starting to lead me to he's working his way to force a trade if he doesn't get his way or whatever he wants, might have decided even before the contract. He could have just taken the Bulls contract for the extra money then force a trade. Just my opinion, it happens from time to time in the league, never happened to the Bulls from what I remember
I do not believe he got a no trade. That would be stupid because they could move you anywhere if that was his idea.
I just believe he has been put into a position he has never been. He was not a leader at any level. The messed up thing is we need both Derrick and Jimmy to succeed to have any chance.
Pau while talented actually has players who could replace his production. Jimmy and DRose both are easily the best choices. Hey I like Taj, Noah, Portis, and even Niko.
I am all for moving Pau for a decent small forward. I would even take Corey Brewer.
