He's likely just deleting his IG, but still looks awful from an optics standpoint...

I genuinely can't stand the social media generation.


Forget optics, this is a cry for help from Ja. When you are not right mentally optics are meaningless. We as a community need to be doing a better job of putting our arms around him and embracing him in this time.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Morant is almost 24, time to grow up.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Optics may have been bad wording. I just mean its sending a message he probably doesn't mean to send. This wasnt a cry for help, it was a "goodbye social media" post, but it was very easy to misconstrue that as something it was not... as shown by the fact they had to send a wellness check to his place (where he was found to be perfectly fine).

Hence why I hate the social media generation. This IG story by him was nothing more than seeing a friend randomly tweet or post on FB "THIS HURTS SO MUCH!! :cryemoji: :cryemoji: :cryemoji:" and zero context beyond that.

He doesn't need embracing, he needs social media and internet communication education.

Just sharing with you: a lot of therapists first couple sessions focus on appreciation. This is likely what it is. The “Bye” was probably just added for drama.
