Just saw this news. That's a freaking outrage.

Dude got a contract extension 2 weeks ago.

Yep, then they fired him just now.

Even in that admission, the reason they had no chance to keep him is because Butler could immediately see the lack of commitment and accountability from the entire organization from the top down. He basically says it during Redick's podcast. I'm not sure getting rid of Brown and even replacing him with Ty Lue will be enough to fix the problems in that lockerroom or the mistakes that front office has made.

When the top player on the team refuses to work on shooting and the second best refuses to get in shape it’s hard to hold anyone else accountable.

You guys see PJ Dozier? He looks so nice in Denver. Not really on offense since he is the fifth option on a court shared by Jokic, MPJ and Murray, but I like his defense a lot. Ainge let him go for free. Better than Semi for sure with infinitely more upside if the shot develops. Getting 20 minutes a game in the playoffs and playing well.

Is there any reason to believe in the upside of his jump shot? If Semi's shot developed he has high role player ceiling too. I just don't see any reason to believe in one over the other there. Reminds me of that meme of two spidermen pointing at each other lol

If Semi's shot develops, he still has zero skills. He's already got a decent shot and he's unplayably awful.

I knew when Kyrie said boycott Months ago that eventually people would listen.

Gotta believe they're going to boycott tomorrow night now. It's a bummer but understandable.

So does Mil take a loss? Seems like they kind of have to right? What a mess for the league to figure out. I just want a **** day to go by without having to hear about politics, covid or violence. I just want to watch some basketball and forget things for 2 hours.

lmao they didn't even bother to tell the Magic or what? Or were Magic that desperate for a free win?

Boycott means a lot more if Bucks take the L, though. Kinda like that.

In FIBA the forfeiting team loses by a score of 20-0.

What is the equivalent in the NBA?
