    I don't recall doing anything of the sort. I think we should trade him asap to some other team so he can bust out on them instead.

    Ok so what are you saying then? What is Reed gonna be?

    You are talking about others having conviction but you dont have any yourself. Of course its gonna be all about you you are frothing at the mouth to call others out but dont wanna put yourself out there.

    You arent clowning me Reed sucks ass. But if your position is you want the Reed haters to not leave themselves a way out so you can make fun of them when/if Reed becomes good you should also not leave a way out for yourself right?

    Ironic you call me a namby pamby you didnt even make a single position about Reed. Why dont you look in the mirror?

    Personally I dont believe in buy high sell low. We wont get anything for him at this point he seems like a nice dude might as well keep him maybe he gets better. He def shouldnt get a long leash uf he is playing like trash though.

    It’s not a victory lap - it’s me standing on business… end of season will be my victory lap or me eating crow

    Huh? You have no idea who that is do you Rosi?
    Probably just looked up his stats and drew your conclusion. Put down the jollibee and stop embarrassing yourself. Done wasting my bandwidth on you. You’re no different than the Sengun and Jalen haters.

    Dont be afraid to get **** when you talk ****.

    Jalen and Sengun proved themselves to be good players. Reed tbd so far he has been ****. .

    Even if the guy one hates craps out, the so called joy just lasts a few seconds and you realize how boring your life has been.

    It is better to start giving credit where credit is due.

    Look man, I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate it if someone went to your work and told you that you suck ass at frying chicken. But if hating on players is how you get your jolli on then have at it.

    Good post.

    Reed is not a PG yet. If he were a natural PG with PG instincts, we would have seen it. So - in fact, very much like a 21 year old FVV - we have to develop him into one. He's barely played before this season. Why would he be good at it right now? This is a yearS-long project. Not a summer job. These first 10-20 games of playing through his mistakes might be exactly what he needs to step into being a valuable rotation player. Cut down on what he doesn't do well, increase what he does well.

    Let's say the Mavericks start Cooper Flagg at PG and he SUCKS at it in his first game. That's it you "call a spade an spade" now?

    Needs some time. To me at least, Reed seems like he's learning rapidly since Preseason started. I'm excited to see what he looks like by Game 10 of the season.

    Loved? Dude was the worst player in the league for the first 45 games of his NBA life.

    People have faulty memories. Basically because Jalen never had fundamentals growing up and he had to re-work those into his game very late.

    So Reed will be ready in yearS, meaning after KD retires. What was the point of getting KD then? We should of kept Jalen and kept tanking

    1. WE DID NOT KNOW FVV WOULD TEAR HIS ACL WHEN THE KD TRADE WAS MADE (a lot of people seem to not understand this)
    2. We got Durant for basically nothing (the 10th pick in the draft and fodder)
    3. Even with Jalen, in order to tank we'd need to have traded Sengun and Amen (obviously nonsense)
