We are led to believe that there were problems prior to this season that were covered up but they still put on positive public spin. That is how it has been “leaked” to the beat writers. So its “we were lying to you then but we’re telling the truth now...”.
These are guys that they glowed about in the past and now treat like lepers. It’s not just them of course. Before them the target was Whiteside. There have been other guys in the past that mysteriously fall out of favor and are put in an eternal doghouse.
From a personnel standpoint we don’t need them and the team is playing great, but I hate the inconsistency with which the team treats its players.
Every circumstance is not the same. Lets say JJ and Dion have similar drug addition which both similarly induces them with being out of shape. That's one knock, however, Dion could be a jerk about it and JJ always apologetic about it but both continue to struggle managing their addiction. There is always a point when enough is enough and this is a business. Dion being a jerk (privately and publicly) is gonna cause people to be less likely to cover for him. Now you hear leaks on Dion, and JJ situation stays hush. You never know everything, and it's impossible to keep everything on the hush. Same as the past, Greens problem stayed quiet because he never made a fuss about publicly, Whiteside was an ass privately, publicly and on the court. Only so much the Heat could do keeping it toned down.
