That's the take by many.

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Probably not OKC overall, more like a couple of teammates that there were issues with during his time with the Thunder. I think we all know who they are. I don't exactly blame him for feeling that way, but putting it out there on social media is bad form.

Reggie had a couple of tweets right after that referencing getting back from a flight but I'm not sure if I buy that's what he meant. Seems more like a coverup to me.

To me this isn't even that bad especially considering what Westbrook and Durant have said about Reggie and his team. It's pretty funny actually.

Didn't OKC disrespect us when we beat them following the few remaining games of the season? That's probably to do with that.

Or RJ knows something with KD's pending free agency and he's hinting that KD is coming to the D. Yes, let's think that instead. /s

People going nuts about an emoji while Spencer Hawes is from Seattle, wearing a Sonics jersey & cheering for the Warriors?

ANY excuse to cast shade on RJ...who if memory serves has been pretty quiet on the Thunder issue

Lol. I hate Thunder fans. Unless they were Sonics fans until the day they die, they're nothing but a bunch of bandwagon fans. To me that doesn't classify as being real fans.

It's hilarious that this evolved into what it did. Shows the insecurity of the fans. :lol: I love how they say that Reggie needs to get over OKC or whatever, but they won't get over Reggie. :lol:

I wish we could call out particular posters.

You can call out the content of their post; you're not supposed to attack the person.

Although my first warning was from a dillweed moderator for posting "Dumbest. Post. Ever." and explaining why I thought the content made no sense. I got a warning for attacking the poster to which I responded "How can a poster be a post?" :)

I'm sure we would all be just like them if roles were reversed. If Monroe had lockeroom issues and was acting up on his way out we would definitely side with the Pistons over him.

Not that I give a crap about them and don't like seeing them get all fired up while messing with them a bit though :lol:

Personally I disagree.

KD, Westbrook & Ibaka put the collective over themselves - doesnt mean Harden or RJ should

If Monroe was stuck in a 6th man role and felt moving on was the best way to go I'd be happy he had a pair and was willing to take on the world

Thunder fans IMO are pissed that:

1 - their owners are cheap

2 - the young bucks wanna be more than #3/4 options on a contender.

There's plenty of time to ring chase Iin your 30s - until then I want players to want the spotlight, to have faith in their abilities and put those abilities to the test.

IF RJ forced his way to a better team but in a similar role I could understand the salt - but that didn't happen

Just saying fans are usually not gonna side with the guy who is leaving over the stars they have. Moose almost snuck out, Reggie was not shy in the slightest about his feelings there and was even tanking it. Reggie is our guy and I'm on his side as he is a Piston now but I'm just saying it's understandable those fans are not going to like him cause that's how it works.

I just get mad when outsiders tend to constantly look at Reggie like he I s the bad guy and WestBrook and Durant did nothing wrong cause they have star power and a household name. which I highly doubt cause clearly that lockeroom was having major problems and I feel WestBrook was treating the lockeroom guys like its the cool kids high school lunch table.


Bottom line they lost a good player for peanuts and shouldn't have. They know that and its a re occurring theme there so they are gonna get a bit salty over it.

I wouldn't be just like them. I can get over players leaving my favorite team.

Furthermore, it's been well over a year since RJ was traded and they still attack him whenever possible. It's time to put on their big boy pants and move on.

That was a different situation than a player heading out the door in FA though so that's not even the same thing as to what I was talking about.

But it's what I was talking about. At the end of the day he's no longer on their team and therefore not their problem. I don't care how he left, if they're still salty over a year later then it's on them for not being able to move on. I would have thought that they would have bigger things to worry about.

They will always be salty, they all insisted he'd be a complete bust when he got traded here.

So as not to be hypocritical, we might want to copy this memo to Reggie, as well. He's the one dancing and tweeting, after all.

This is all over an emoji that started a brief series of tweets wherein it isn't clear that it had anything to do with OKC at all. Yeah, it's RJ who needs to grow up. :roll:
