    He's not any good at basketball, but he's good for PR, let's sign him.

    Wild how all the Jalen haters want to sign the Temu version just because he's a religious nutjob

    The injuries reduce him to a shell of what he could have possibly become. Throw this in there, and it's adios.

    If Chicago kept him, the Rockets would have traded a second round pick for him.

    Chicago wouldn’t be letting him go if they thought he might have any value left. Stick a fork in him and file this under “not worth the effort”.

    Detroit and Chicago both deciding he isn’t worth keeping around in the same year? Probably not a good sign.

    No point signing him now. We can't use him in the playoffs anyway, so let him have a long hard think about himself, and perhaps see if he chills in the coming months.

    If we want help at G next season, the talent is certainly there.

    Fact check:

    NOT a top 3 pick.

    What did he say/do? The only thing I could find was that he said LGBTQ was unrighteous or something.

    Or was this more just that he sucks and not worth any PR hiccups?

    His version of the draft is probably the same as the insiders he hallucinates.

    I wanted him big time, when he was coming out but now the dude is a nutjob - he seems to have given up on being a great ball player.

    Says things like the old Jayden Ivey is dead etc.....

    Just weird.

    And, IIRC he had a broken fibula? Which is the non-weight bearing bone in your leg, something that should not have any lingering effect at all.

    Temu Jalen basically. Similar type of player, significantly less superstar flashes, monster games, crazy highlights etc, but significantly worse mental health problems. He makes Jalen look like a prospect.

    Agreed. If the Leftist NBA can make all their political activist stances then there is room for the opposite opinion. It's called America not China.

    So just to confirm, you're agreeing with the person who thinks Ivey's:

    A top 3 pick
    Gifted
    A young superstar?

    Interesting take.

    Really? Weird, how our PEDOdent is suing everyone that tries to use their first amendment rights.....seems we are headed towards China......

    Ivey's issue is that he isn't interested anymore in being a great basketball player - it seems....and that is why he isn't interesting.

    Maybe, he should review his bible around the old "Judge not, lest ye be judged" section - he was apparently super preachy - too bad people that allegedly find Christ can't just be happy and keep it to themselves, nothing wrong with believing in whatever you want to believe in, but if you are being an ******* about others beliefs, then it isn't exactly being Christlike....ironically.

    He is a proud Christian and I respect that immensely and to the secular world nowadays, that’s considered crazy. What I consider crazy is that he gets mocked for following Christ, but Harden was glorified as a king around here while going out and boozing it up on a nightly basis hanging around rappers and strippers. None of you had issues with that….guess you chose your side.
