Uh? Versus what shows? Hearing the "professional" opinion of non athletes or people who haven't played at an NBA level? Their perspective goes beyond x's and o's (which they also objectively have more experience in), that's the point.
They may have their personal lives, past mistakes, attitudes, characteristics, etc. but who doesn't? I appreciate their candor personally. Calling anybody a clown as you hide behind your keyboard on an alias is questionable behavior at best.
Sjax has gone through a lot in the last couple years, and hes used his platform & trauma to drive positive social change for Black people (and people in general) in America.
Don't get me wrong. Non-NBA player analysts have a role too. But they've taken up far too much space, and recklessly, partly by insulting any player who tries to speak their minds. That's why I appreciate respectful analysts like Zach Lowe and Will Lou, who bring insight, humor and a sense of collaboration with the people they're speaking with.
Caught this before. Thanks for sharing OP. Fred is a real one.

Re: FVV on All The Smoke
I know people already have an issue with Fred’s me first mentality, but it’s only going to balloon. He’s probably going to make the all star team. Well deserved imo if he keeps this up.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Man its real interesting that he knows the contract dollars weren't enough, but he was not about to risk generations of his family by playing hardball. Got to admit... I would just take it too.

An interview from the practice facility just illustrates his work ethic.

That's his perspective. His contract is fine. Anything more would be an overpayment. Players are more aware of a Noel or Dennis situation now. The 80 million dollars is better than the 4 or so Dennis is currently making. Also he signed a 2 year 18 million dollar contract prior to his current contract. His generational wealth was already secured. Don't know what he's talking about.

That’s your opinion and dennis is underpaid.

Yeah, if u spend it like Floyd Mayweather… or all these rappers. bro 18m is good enough for a lifetime if ur smart. U can grow from that 18m. So I consider it generational wealth too.

Fred is underpaid. Period. And yeah 18 isn't because its not 18 at the end.
And yes its better than the 4 which Schroeder makes which is the risk of waiting until there is no cap space or demand left, which was dumb/risky/greedy.

We often criticize our best players the most. That's not a bad thing.

Generational wealth doesn't have to mean one's grandchildren do not have to work. Having parents and/or grandparents, who can help out with college tuition and a down-payment on a house, is generational wealth.

For this team to succeed he needs to defer more, specially early game. He needs to initiate the offense.

"if ur smart" is the big caveat with most NBA players, with their families, posses and hangers-on. But Fred strikes me as one of the minority who IS smart enough not to go broke in retirement.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

That’s your opinion and dennis is underpaid.
He's underpaid because he turned down 18 million dollars. Fred wasn't going to let that happen to him. That's my point.
