When a source says something you like, they're the best. When that source says something negative, they're the biggest moron ever. Don't forget J.Rudolph broke the ETO waiver story. He's not as futile as you all make him out to be.
I didn't say futile...I said this string of tweets pissed me off, because it wasn't accurate.
What was inaccurate? The other elite teams we competed against (LAL,BOS) stayed Championship caliber while having tons of trade assets (Bynum, Pau, Rondo, Odom)...
We on the other hand, fell from elite-ness and have no tradable assets to make a big splash... Meanwhile, teams like NJ, NY & LAC were competent enough to have a plan and are a force to be reckoned with.... heck even ATL is in position for a bright future... Meanwhile Dwight is litterly the one thing on this team sepetaring us from Playoff team and Lottery team. No other team has a single player that makes such a disparity... It's a joke what this F.O has done with our team.
I don't have an issue with Dwight seeing the benefits of going one of the two biggest markets in the NBA. The exposure is there if nothing else, and he craves the attention. What I don't like about Jarrod's tweets is it doesn't tell the whole story. BK is improving their team, why can't you do that? Well they had cap space this year that is why. They didn't have that last year, and they sucked last year. Deron gave them a year of sucking to be in this position they are in now. Has Dwight given us a year to take a small step back and suck so we don't add contracts and have cap and a good pick as well so we can reload and make another run? No. He wants the win-now moves that we tried and when they don't work he pouts and wants to jump ship. Oh, and those moves were co-signed by him too.
As far as LA, that is a different kind of beast. NO ONE saw Nash coming because that was a special favor done for Nash by his FO. The lakers are favored, because that is not their first gift (pau anyone?). Nothing anyone can do about that, but you can't really give their FO credit for that deal when the suns were offered Nash. What, were they going to turn it down?
I read this to mean, he just wants the favor and the big stage. I don't really respect it, but I don't hate on it. Problem is he is placing fault for us simply being us. We aren't a major market and the media don't shine the light on us. I just wish he had not sold pipe dreams all this time of a future like in that commercial. I wish he had never said he would never be like Shaq and he wanted to retire here. He didn't have to talk about any of that at all. He talks about broken promises made to him, but he made and broke plenty also, and he ignores that and acts as if we did him wrong. Nothing has changed about Orlando in terms of what we want to do. He just has changed his view on how he thinks it should be done and wants it all, INSTANTLY. It doesn't work that way.
