And by the way, Payit, because you expressed surprise at the vitriol on here, and because I am not a little source of that vitriol— Whether we got a good haul (we did! maybe even a great-ish one, relative to the market and the moment!) or whether Tommy Shepp was nimble and shrewd in his maneuvering (he was, as usual!) is immaterial to this discussion.
This is about what Weaselbrook did.
And even more about what he tried to do.
And what he tried to do was to f*ck us.
To f*ck us, by pulling Beal into his selfish and malevolent scheme and greasing his path out of town.
To f*ck us, by showing no regard, none … no loyalty, none … for the team that saved his axx, rehabilitating his tarnished image and allowing his game to backburner his shenanigans.
Now, do I think he was holding us back in key ways? I do. Do I think we could have won big with him? I don’t.
But as I said — immaterial in this particular discussion.
He tried to fxck us.
And to get even more Glengarry Glen Ross — when a player tries to fxck us, whether on the court or off, we’re gonna get a little hot.
We’re gonna say, fxck you — loudly, and often.
We’re gonna hope you flame out wherever you go.
If we can’t win — and obviously we can’t — then we’re gonna hope that you lose, too. And lose big. Lose disastrously. Embarrassingly. Humiliatingly. Bringing shame to your team and your city.
Buh-bye, Weaselbrook. You are dead to us.
Damn I was 100000% team Westbrook till I read this article now I feel exactly like this....
Hope Beal gives the Lakers an agent 0 in LA, Rui dunks on AD and Kuzma has a career game....and the wiz win by 20 next time we play them.
Wiz and DC were good to him and he tried to undercut us with Beal...bad business bro
