Someone Explain To Me Why RJ Hampton Shouldn't Be Cut?

[dlts20]

I would seriously cut this dude after the game. The weakest move I have ever seen in the NBA. Dude is happy for someone to drop 50 on them at home. The whole crowd should have booed nonstop and I would have went off if I were his coach or teammates

I liked it

[SUPERVILLAIN]

I believe he was trying to surprise Bey and steal the ball to prevent Bey shooting for 50. But unfortunately he failed and fouled.

Nothing atrocious. Calm down.

[Monky15]

Maybe he did it so Bey could get his 50 without looking like he was rubbing Orlando's face in the loss. Games over, why not let a young guy get his 50, could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Solid humanitarian move, shouldn't be seen as being ant competitive because their was no more competition to be had.

[Statlanta]

The pendulum swings in mysterious ways. In one era people made it a point to make sure guys didn’t drop milestones on them, in another people help others stat-pad on opposing teams.

I think it was a dumb mistake

Bruh, that's the weakest thing I've ever heard in my life. I would literally do and hoped my team that I'm rooting for to do anything they can to prevent someone like kd or kyrie to score 50, let alone bey. This new generation has zero competitive fire

I wouldn't gift KD or LeBron a 50 pt game either and they wouldn't care about a 50pt game as much also. Bey is neither of those guys.
Bey was in a position where he was forced to choose between a personal milestone or being seen asa abad sport and someone took that decision out of his hands for him. We are fellow humans first, I don't care about giving someone something good for them if I don't lose out on anything personally.

Hampton helping Bey get 50 guilt free cost him a personal foul, didn't cost his team the game because it was already lost.

They literally just gave up 60 to kyrie. Where is the pride. I don't want to look like a laughingstock. You are just letting everyone know that it's free candy in Orlando. Who cares about Bey's dilemma. The game is 48min. If you don't want me to score then stop me but gifting someone a milestone is garbage imo. You either get it on your own or you don't.

Well, the other night it was 60 and tonight they only let a guy get 50. That's an improvement!

[Capn'O]

They're letting anyone score 50 these days damn.

Also, this is the weakest move of all time:

*checks magics schedule*

SGA finna drop 50 next game

Its different, Kyrie TOOK 60 from the Magic and there was nothing they could do about it. Bey got hot, had a maybe once in a lifetime game, yeah he was handed ft's but he still had to make them to get the milestone. That said, if I was an Orlando fan I might not be able to be as objective about this, for the players, its a long season, this is just one game, I'm assuming they tried to win, but once they game was already decided everything else is just whatever.

[Monky15]

I could also see how this game could leave a bad taste in Orlando fans mouths. They would come in seeing its Detroit and expect their team to put up a fight and maybe get a W for the fans but nope and some rando got 50.

I loved the outcome. We're in the business of tanking right now. I hate some of our braindead players though including RJ. Franz and WCJ are the only dependable young players on the magic right now while there are a few others worth keeping around for now (obviously Suggs but there are others like Gary Harris, JI, Fultz, etc) but we need a top talent from the draft more than winning this meaningless game.

They should help Giddey get 80 next game.
He's a rookie, think how cool that would be for him!
They can't make the playoffs anyway so no reason to be competitive. Might as well help some guy get the first 80 & 20 game ever and become a part of league history! Think what a great humanitarian gesture that would be!!!

[meekrab]

This just proves the NBA needs to schedule more than 1 game per night so that we don't have drama about Detroit and Orlando

Sure, why not, if Giddey is a possession away from a milestone in an already decided game. You make it seem like they play the whole game setting up their "opposition" for milestone, sounds a little disproportionate to me.

I mean, why not set out to help Giddey break some kind of record all game? Why leave it to chance?
Didn't you say, "We are fellow humans first, I don't care about giving someone something good for them if I don't lose out on anything personally"?
The Magic are not going to make the playoffs regardless, and the players will get paid the same whether Giddey breaks a record or not. They will not lose anything personally by game planning a way to get Giddey an 80 & 20 game, so they should go for it!
Again, why not help him all game if helping him for part of the game is a good thing?
