[MTG Pod] Kevin Durant openly questions guards like FVV and Reed as starter material

Selling Reed "short" is a mistake.

 

He is correct. FVV and Reed are placeholders. Reed will have to make a huge leap in order to be an effective pg. FVV will be a premier backup for somebody.

 

Like speed, getting to the basket and the ability to finish at the rim have little to do with being a bulldog on the basketball court. Being a bulldog in professional sports means being a scrappy, hard-nosed player that fights for every inch and doesn’t back down from anyone. That describes VanVleet.

 

Would have never given FVV a 2 year 25m contract, never....better options out there.

Thanks. I didn’t listen to it all but saw the dfs one already turned into a caption video.

Yeah I know he’s not, but sounds funny he picked him.

Chatter among friends and contemporaries, or GM KD speaking to management through subliminal means?

 

@Jontro confirmed he’s packing heat.

 

You're almost as bad as the Jalen fans when it comes to your delusion of Amen as a PG.

 

I think he ends up becoming an assistant in the future. Rockets love him as a person and leader with the players, but ya I wouldn’t have brought him back.

 

I love adding him as a player, but his interview/twitter nonsense is gonna be hard to deal with.

Ever since the snake move he always has to say something, either overly defensive, snarky, or passive aggressive. He's certainly not always wrong, but this dude really needs to just say less.

 

I see no lies told by KD

 

We will see. He’s definitely going to start in the backcourt this year and will get a large share of the on-ball reps with the first team. I guess Ime is as bad as I am. You are just like DD and Cam. You are worried about your predictions about Reed and Amen is the biggest challenge to your Reed superstar imagery.

 

That is not what I am worried about, I genuinely think Cam is going to be a star in the league, and should be nurtured to get there as a Rockets player.

I don't want to watch him scoring 25+ PPG and dunking on everyone's head somewhere else.

The Chinese Basketball Association isn't going to know what hit them.

 

I didn’t see the DFS comment as a diss. It is usually a low percentage/bad shot to throw it to someone with 1- 2 seconds on the clock. I used to hate it when Harden would do this.

 

KD just had a season with Tyus Jones as his starting PG so that probably colors his opinion a lot. If you're a short guard you either need to play good D or have elite offense. I don't see what's so controversial about that.

 

With all due respect neither FVV nor Reed fits the stereotypes he alluded to.

 

They'll probably pencil him in at SG, but he'll likely play a similar role to last season because FVV is the starting PG and KD will likely lead the team in usage... higher than Jalen last season.

Also.... you know, because that's how Amen is best used.

The sooner you realize that, the better it'll be for everyone.

 

KD just stop before you start. It’s a case of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. How does his comments make our team better? In my opinion he is a self serving ass by these comments alone. Our PR team, Coaching Staff, and Ownership should pull him aside. The name on the front of the jersey matters more than the name on the back. Do team options on his contract or let him walk. Basically shut-up and play or move on. We don’t want, need or desire this from ANY of our players.

 

They tricked KD into talking a self sabotage sponsored by Lebron
