To be honest, this is the loser mentality and lack of leadership that has plagued Dlo his entire career.
It's not loser mentality. Kobe did the same thing to Smush Parker lol. Kobe went to the radio station and basically said his teammates suck. Said they sucked on camera to random ass people.
The Timberwolves brass traded away their locker room leader and the guy that gave them their swagger for a guy that nobody freaking wants to play with.
No, I am being loud about that. You traded a guy that we liked for a guy nobody wants to play with. For a guy that doesn't make us better. For a guy that screws up any sort of offense because he has no game. He's not a vertical spacer. He's not a good pick and roll target because he can't catch.He can't pass. He's a big freaking zero.
We have the best big man shooter to ever play, giving us all this space, and you replace him with this freaking guy.
Yeah, I'ma say what everyone thinks and feels.And I am going to let him know he sucks and why we don't pass him the ball.

Taking up driving angles. Calling for the ball like he's Shaq. Pouting when he doesn't get the ball when every knows he can't freaking catch.
On top of that, the Wolves didn't need Gobert.
I would be mad, they loved Pat Bev and now they got freaking Rudy Gobert lol.
Most NBA players can't stand an offensively inept guy.
Yeah, I am going to be loud and about a guy like Gobert wrecking my freaking offense.
it's not like those two were such incredible leaders and teammates.Jables wrote:Guys always talking about what MJ or Kobe would do, massive difference in being the unquestioned leader of a team, even if they make mistakes at times.

MJ didn't let Rodman get away with it. Or Wennington. Or Longley. Or Cartwright... Or...
Then again we're comparing what MJ or Kobe would do to what D freaking Lo did.
