Take Shannon for example, dude was by NBA standards has one foot out the league. Even for a defensive minded coach like Larry Brown, Shannon couldn't sniff the floor. He comes here as a throw in a trade got some confidence and helped out. No sooner than the champagne dried up he's in Toni Braxton's video with Ron Ron. He got a new deal, the first deal he's really earned. Now try to make good on a more long term deal he turned into a jack shooter.
He consistently breaks the flow of the offense, always looking for the home run dunk and would rather play to the crowd than help the team. Truth be told I could care less if he opts out......go ahead and make the same mistake Trevor made.
Now let's look at Jordan.......simply put dude has to go, he's a disaster every minute he's on the court. Y'all can believe what you want but Jordan hated the day Shannon came. Jordan knew his minutes was going to be split the minute Shannon started playing well. We all know Jordan's short comings, he's uncoachable and refuses to believe in the Triangle. It's not secret on why we struggle when he comes in, he's not a lead guard who'll make sure things stay the same.
I went to bat for Jordan when he first came, saying he could be a good to great player if he wanted to be. Dude has gotten worse every single year, I done with Jordan.
Props to LO for crack'in their asses on TV, the line up that was on the floor to start the 4th should've busted that game wide open. You can't point the finger at LO, Luke (who's always a team guy) or Drew.......hell he basically on one leg again but in my eyes he played damn well. So that leaves the other 2........Jordan and Shannon.
Good man. Great post.
