Forgot this trash player was still in the league. Should be in China.

Wow. Straight to the G-League. They don't even want him in NBA Camp.
He was chosen #4, right after Jayson Tatum. How far some have fallen.


Remember that time Ryan McDonough was so proud of himself for blocking the Celtics chance to interview Jackson after they were already on the plane flying out to see him? Good times. :lol:

Remember when that jackhole GM had his press conference like he just played one over on Danny by making him cancel his workout when in mid light? I remember.

We've moved on. Look for it in the Nets forum in, oh, I'd say about 7 months or so.

nope. Probably about 18 months when KD is back and looking like a 35 year old on 1 leg and Kyrie is trying to switch off and guard Giannis in transition while they are taxed out and the 8th seed. Then they'll make the thread. First year will be fine because "it will be better next year" like we were when he was injured.

Great job, Ryan. Just know that your mentor, Danny, will always have a spot for you in the Celtics organization. Those burrito bowls at Chipotle aren't going to make their way to Danny's desk by themselves.

I’m really happy to read (rather than hear) him talking like that. He is going to implode whatever good thing the Nets had going last year.

I think he at least tried to say sorry to the C's organization and fans, saying his grandpa's passing messed him up for the 2nd half of the season. Although he still talked about experience, which was weird cause out of our starters he was the worst player and probably 2nd worst on the team after Terry. His defense and offense were both awful on so many levels, and stats back it up(he couldn't pass the eye test at all, too).... I feel like he's bi-polar and as soon as things go south in BKN he will again be a whiny b... It's just who he is. Him and Durant is a disaster waiting to happen, both are crazy for attention, hard to keep happy and flip-flop their opinions/decisions within months. Wouldn't shock me if they fail in the first year together and the Nets implode as Irving and Durant's relationship falls apart.

I was a huge Josh Jackson fan and had a lot of hope for Kyrie when we brought him in.

Good thing I’ve got the day job.

You’d be a hot GM prospect if you could pull it off. PHO is hiring I believe. (You could help Hayward finally get there)

I won't question how a man is affected by death of a family member. That sort of thing can be devastating. With that being said, that POS basically admitted that he lied to Danny Ainge for most of the season. Remember how often Ainge checked in on him, trying to make sure he was good and still planned on coming back? And after each time, Ainge would come back and say everything was good?

It is funny that weirdo would praise Atkinson for "telling it like it is", when it appears that he, himself, is incapable of doing so.

I normally think Jalen Rose is a tool, but he sums it up perfectly. Not even one game played yet but if you watch KD's presser......he looks kind of annoyed already at the thought of Kyrie being his "protector".

The funny thing is that in two years DAR may well be a better lead guard than Kyrie (& Kemba)

Btw, looks like Fultz is ready to start the season in Orlando.. takes a long time to get a read on a draft class. Right now Tatum, Fox and Isaac look like the top three, but maybe not in that order. If Fultz gets on track, Orlando is the most asset-rich team in the East.

Porzingis will be a good story line, too - put on 16 pounds of muscle, upper body looks pro-ready. It’s his lower body, core, back and health that are bigger issues.. but if he’s strong enough to rebound and post up, even with some lost spring he could be ready for a career year.

Fultz has mental issues, I'd be shocked, but happy for him if he makes it through the season. Kid's played like ~30 games in 2 years with no prove(able) major injury or anything and he started shooting the ball like a 3rd grader. Good on him, that he'll manage to collect 20mils. That's a lots of money and if you're smart about, you may be set for life even if you don't play much longer.
