?s=21

He was getting slandered online last night

Is he in the wrong or are people making a big deal out of nothing?

He's not doing Ant any favors in the PR department. Bad timing on the tweet. Lamelo was the clear front runner for ROY.

Not a good look....Awful timing for this tweet especially since his team have the worst record in the NBA despite a current 20 game losing streak for Houston

It's nothing. Ball is out for the season and Edwards is very likely to win the ROY because of it.

This is just DLo being a good teammate. He didn't tweet anything crazy or ridiculous.

What type of false statements were people making about Russell in an attempt to damage his reputation?

That's pretty cold, even for Minnisota

He hated Lamelo from the jump. Cried and whined to the t-wolves until they promised not to draft him.

He is a hater and its obvious and now he is jealous that Lamelo showed more promise in 42 games than he has his whole career.

It was in poor taste but it is coming from a guy that normally has poor taste so no surprise

D. Lo is a certified sucker, and he's been one since I saw him pass the ball as soon as a defender approached him on the perimeter in the summer league 6 years ago and since he inadvertently snitched on Nick Young. Just a total lame that's robbing Minnesota blind. Kid is a loser.

It was obviously a low class move but I don't think it's that big of a deal. Reflects poorly on him though.

Quickley has a better chance to win ROY

funny thing is that if DLo stays off the court the Wolves have a better chance of winning and Edwards has a better chance at ROY.

Russell is an immature child. Proven again.
A guy like IT with all his faults, never got paid.
Because of injuries like the one this kid is taking advantage of, to write something like this on such an inappropriate time.
And Russell got paid, despite being a lesser player. And human being.
Life ain't fair for everyone.

When ESPN heads are on TV discussing it and so are fans on realgm I don't an issue with it. Are we fully going to accept social media or not?

Yep, you pretty much summed it up there.

He definitely could have done without the yawning emoji at the end, I think that's what has people rattled.

Halliburton has been considerably better than Edwards. As in, not even close.

I agree. However, Halliburton has come back down to earth after the ASB while Edwards has been improving significantly. If that keeps up, I think Edwards will overtake him (especially because voters tend to reward raw stats more as well).

He’s not wrong. What’s the big deal?

Possibly. Edwards has been given a different role and will stack up more points because of it.

And historically, the ROY award does seem to gravitate towards the player with the highest ppg far too often,m. But the award voters are becoming a younger, more statistical savvy group that will see the huge difference in their effectiveness level beyond ppg.
