I find the "I broke up with you so now I need to get rid of all evidence you were ever in my life" thing childish.

Kind of agree, but not all ends are equals. Kind of interesting situation indeed, I think your aren't a real man before your loss your first real love. I don't know if that's KAT case, but if it helps him to mature he won't have problems long term.

I bet he left her wide open and another guy swooped in and stole her. Maybe this will be the wake up call KAT needs to finally start playing some damn defense.

So he wasn't in his proper position and someone else drove to the hole and scored? Sounds like what would happen to KAT. Probably playing video games instead of putting in the work he needs to become great.

Why doesn't he play D? Lack of Effort?

This. 22 is pretty young, especially nowadays.

22 years old is a grown man. Not that I think he did anything wrong or childish here, but if he did, I wouldn't give him the excuse of being a "kid". He's been an adult for 4 years.

Highly disagree. As a 26-year-old, I have friends who are younger than I am (early 20’s) act like people from Mean Girls. Super sensitive.

KAT will get over it tho.

Honestly, who cares?
What he does away from the court should be his own business.
If anything, it should teach him to be careful who and how you share personal info with.

I don't care about what he did in this case, and I also don't see how being sensitive equates to being childish. I'm saying as a 22 year old, you are no longer a kid. He doesn't get that pass if he ACTUALLY did something wrong. It's like how those popular youtubers blame all of their stupid sh*t on being "just a kid" when they're in their twenties. You're not a kid. You're an adult.

You are 22. You can vote, drink and go to war. You are an adult. This break up, who cares. But man, he is not a kid. He is younger but not a kid. I expect the 22 yr olds at my work to act like an adult, why wouldn't we expect the same from KAT?

I think the problem is people see erasing an ex from social media as a thing an adult wouldn't do. That's a very subjective take.

Eh.....Not sure I agree. I had to delete my ex wife a few years ago from FB because she seemed to be stalking me thru my friends. I didn't want her knowing what events I was at etc. So, if you are not involved with that person, I see no problem removing them from your personal life.

Post #1273 » by **Worm Guts** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:57 pm

Yeah, I don't think deleting an ex from social media is necessarily childish, sometimes it's just necessary. Breakups can be emotional and we do what we need to get through them, that may include pretending that person never existed for a while.

This is one of the best discussions this month.

I didn’t know the netiquette of removing pictures of an ex, and I still believe those experiences make you who you are today. However, a later girlfriend cited that as a reason for our break up, and that her frenemies at work kept pointing out those pics were still there. I do it now, but I still think it’s immature to have to hide your past.

Because 90% of 22 year olds don't act like an adult IMO regardless of drinking, voting and going to war.

Question: At this time last year people on this board told me that KAT was a lock for the HOF. I disputed that simply based on his age, and not enough body of work. The theory that a good start to a career translates into a HOF career doesn't always hold true.

So, how do Wolves fans feel now?

Umm still hall of fame. Why would that change?

After an All-NBA season, they probably feel the same. And you probably still feel the same since it's still early in his career. Not a very good question to bring up just 1 year later. Maybe wait 5 or something to bring it back.

Bucketgetter · Post #1279 » by **Bucketgetter** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 8:56 pm

Did anyone read the CBS power rankings? For the Wolves description, they wrote, "They managed to sign Karl-Anthony Towns to an extension, but Butler rejected the one he was offered".

That's obviously wrong since we haven't signed him yet, and I assume the idiots who wrote it were told to fix it after it had been posted. So they changed it to, "They managed to start extension talks with Towns, but Butler rejected the one he was offered". Doesn't make any sense grammatically, but hey, at least they give us credit for somehow managing to START extension talks with Towns. Huge win LOL!

My best guess is HoF, but not as confident as I was.
