    Who cares. This is why the NBA is losing revenue.

    It's pretty disrespectful to the players involved to suggest the reason they want to leave a failed and soon to be rebuilding team is over something so childish and feeble minded when there's a much more likely explanation.

    Lol, c’mon now. Really?

    Ric Bucher has no credibility

    being a friend of Trump’s is definitely disgusting, but that’s not the real issue

    Good

    The NBA will continue to lose money because of these players attitudes.

    So be it, they dont realize they're killing the golden goose.

    BS, I'm sure if you poll most of the owners they support Trump. We've never seen players care that much about their owners political leanings, not in any sport.

    Ric Bucher was legit a decade or so ago. He's a joke now.

    So dumb. Keep politics out of sports. Half of these guys only believe what LeBron tells them to believe anyways.

    I’m sure 90% of all pro sports owners are the same. This is BS.

    Russ was one of the most vocal leaders this year in the bubble in regards to political issues i.e. BLM, Breona Taylor, etc.

    All of the players, and also Morey.. they were all upset to see how much Tillman supported Trump. This was one of the reasons why Morey left as well.

    Didn't we have the largest communist country try to force the NBA to fire our GM?

    I still would never use that as the reason why Russ sucks in the playoffs or how Harden had issues with Dort

    Not taking COVID seriously is politics now? How about lying about the election results? How is that political?

    NO, nobody leaves a team because they don't like the team owner political stance.
    If that were to be the case, the players should rethink their careers and start running for politics.

    This is true but you can't even name most of the owners of other teams and Tillman has been high profile about his support.

    Trump is a known divider of people.

    Guess what Tilman did.

    Although Trump is innocent in this, they are of the same mold.

    They sow the seeds of chaos.

    Did Dwight Howard and Chris Paul leave because of political reasons?

    @Reeko


    Did we lose to the warriors at home without Durant for political reasons?
