Kinda fake too going at Thibs now when you had his back last season when other players said they didn’t wanna play for him.
If you feel so strong about this, don’t duck the media when they ask you. Just man up..
What did Donte say or do that has you so bothered?
So bothered? lol Wouldn’t go that far, but not sure how much more clear I can be. You saw what he did and said to and about Thibs and Rick..
I saw Donte jawing at the line which is not unheard of in a basketball game. He seemed to make a joke about the scouting report saying "He can't finish right Thibs". Someone responded from the bench. Possibly Rick Brunson. Donte said "That's what happens when they let you run the show" which I have no idea what that actually means.
At the end of the game while going to greet his friends and former teammates Donte was confronted by Rick Brunson who seemed to be a bit upset. Jalen wasn't upset. Mikal seemed to be confused. I don't know what was said in that exchange between Rick and Donte but why would I be upset with Donte when Jalen clearly wasn't upset as he had his arm around Donte trying to pull him away from the confrontation.
We overreacted on this board when we thought Donte said "Thanks for the trade." Donte simply denied he did not say that which he didn't. Is it possible that Rick overreacted too? At the end of the day it was just a few words exchanged and the only person that seemed upset in the moment was Rick. Not Jalen. Not Thibs. I don't know how to take the little bit of information that we have and make Donte a villain from it.
