With all due respect to John Wall: why does anyone care what he says? Of course his experience was negative. We were attempting to run away from Russ' contract, and the only way out was John Wall's awful contract. And the only way out of Wall's contract was for him to ask for a buyout. Of course he feels like he got treated badly. They wanted him to leave, and forfeit 45mill (or back himself to make that back in another deal). He is complaining about how they treated him, but at the same time they wanted no part of winning 3 more games and potentially missing a top 3 spot. Rebuilds don't happen overnight. There is a 3 year plan here. The plan might be a dud plan. But at least wait until this time next year before judging it. It's not like John Wall is some playoff legend who has worthwhile things to say. He was an injured, overpaid dude who allowed us to get out of Westbrooks contract AND the pick we gained in doing so we used to buy Sengun. Thnks fr the memories
John Wall = Prince Harry. Some will look at him as having been treated unfairly. Some will look at him as entitled and out of touch.
The negative harden era was two western conference finals, 8 straight playoff appearances. 6 top 4 seeds . 6 50 plus win seasons. Would have had atleast 1 or two rings not for the most stacked team of all time and injuries. That by any measure is one hell of a run for any franchise at any point by any indicator. Most owners and fans of other teams would sell their left testicular nuts for such a negative time
This is John Wall. Player who saw it ALL. Now the question is, who the **** is Stone or Silas or any of these mfs
Incredibly sad state of affairs for this franchise. But the good thing is...we've seen teams add one player or one coach who comes in and shifts the entire culture of the team within months of joining. I'm optimistic we'll have such addition to our team sooner than later.
Makes sense, they gave KPJ the starting guard spot and then let him do his thing trying to make him Luka lite without earning any of it.
Yet half this board is happy with losing because #tankforwemby. Lose at all costs culture will never be rewarded.
Listen between the lines. 'I see no improvement.' 'We can't play in the fourth like that and win, it is hard to win in this league.'
I kinda feel for wall but not really. The guy was ducking terrible on the court, in fact he was even worse the KPJ. I think they should have just treated him like EG now. But EG isn't ball dominant. Wall was a ball hog playing shitty iso ball and we were losing every game anyway.
A lot of this was obvious, some of it wasn't, but none of it is good and none of it is surprising. I do hope this opens some eyes about the situation of the team, though. Just because your goal is to get top draft picks doesn't mean nothing else matters, or that you're doing everything right if you're losing.
