Of course DD comes to the defense of an athletic player with off the court struggles. KPJ, Whitmore, now Zion. it's a trend and he has a type.
if this is true the same thing with kpj is gonna happen the team that has him has to trade him for nothing and then another team gets to benefit like the bucks with KPJ I don’t know anything about the circumstance, but if we could get Zion for green and Tari/whitmore I’m doing it Then trade for norm Powell with tenth pick Resign Adams and resign FVV run FVV/Reed Powell/brooks Amen/Brooks Zion/Bari Sengun/Adams
You read it in the voice you want to read it, I am just pointing out facts, Tmac, Dwight Howard, Sean Kemp, lots of NBA players are targets, there is even an app for women to find NBA players where they are..... Doesn't mean everyone is like that but I don't worry about talking about sensitive topics, they are what they are....... We should be able to have a reasonable discussion about these things - but again, people read what is in their own head, sounds like you believe something already. You do you. DD PS. I got bashed over my KPJ take, which ended up 100% accurate.....I try not to jump to conclusions, if you have been to court people can lie and sue about anything.....they can also tell the truth, that is what we have courts for......and I don't judge until we have all the facts....I wish everyone did that, but this is a TAR AND FEATHER first society these days.
What I believe is that you have a bias coming into any situation involving a male athlete accused of bad conduct by a woman. Because you're pretty explicit in what you say, I don't need to read anything into it. By the way, Shawn Kemp, Dwight, these multi-million dollar athletes were not victims. They made choices. You blame the "baby mamas" like six women all forced poor Shawn Kemp to have kids with them. Like he didn't know having unprotected sex with women #6 it was possible to have a seventh kid he'd have to support. If anyone's the victim, if the kids who are forced to grow up with an absent dad. Was Kemp wrongfully accused in the shooting he committed in Washington in 2023, that he pled guilty to, or was that one OK because it wasn't a woman accusing him? And when you say you want to let the court process play out before reaching a decision, but then maintain you were correct on KPJ when he pled guilty to domestic assault, that reinforces my point. If Zion settles this claim, you'll maintain the same belief you started with. Poor Deshaun Watson was just a victim of greedy women making stuff up. Etc. etc.
I don't blame anyone - just pointing out that it happens. What I do blame is people leaping to conclusions when one party files a lawsuit, this is not even from the police, it is one person, saying this happened, which may be 100% true, or not - that is what the courts are there to decide. You are reading into it however you want to, I don't jump to conclusions, I want to see the evidence, I don't have any faith in people to tell the truth when they are an aggrieved party, that is true, and whether they are man or women, doesn't matter, innocent until proven guilty is a law. Now, the funny thing about the person that says DJT.....that guy is guilty as hell, and has been convicted in a court of law, and when you have 26 others accusing you and you are on Epstein's plane like 12 times, then yeah, there is a threshold..... And, I am NOT defending ZION - I don't know what happened, clearly the Rox can't or shouldn't go after him until it is resolved and in his favor, and if not, then dodged a bullet, I guess. DD PS. Agree about the children being the victims.....that sucks......
"I've had some real honest conversations with him. Some real direct and honest conversations. We're going to go forward with Zion. He's going to continue to be a focal point here as we go forward." (Via http://buff.ly/3cSV72a)
Dumars: "Stop eating 25 sticks of butter every morning you fat cunt, and stop raping women. And try actually running a bit, you're supposed to be an athlete."
Makes sense, his trade value has to be shot, his contract is voidable, his on court production is elite, and he's still young. Their franchise takes a step backwards trading him for peanuts.
...if Morey did that - it would be PEAK D'rel Murray! He's the king of the "undervalued asset"...AND he is desperate.
Zion issue is not just his attitude, its also his health. Check out his games played per year. Thats why NO trying to dump they are paying him the max and he plays like 20 games a year.
You ever see someone invest their entire future or success on another person that is a POS and everyone knows that it is a REALLY REALLY bad idea, and it is like watching in slow motion as a car goes off the edge of a cliff hitting and rolling slowly all the way down to the bottom? We are watching in real time something like that now......
