    He was a lottery ticket they found in the ground, there were never any expectations he'd amount to anything

    Sides are preparing for his departure from the game

    This is honestly just the grammaticallly/syntactically/stylistically most bizarreo way to put it. Like, sides of beef are hanging around, prepping for wheels up in 20.

    Classic Shams.

    ...sounds like a responsible decision coming from his camp that is focused on his needs rather than the needs of people trying to make money off him. I wish him the very best. It sounds like he has a particularly crazy family situation and needs to promote his own mental health - it's not worth jeopardizing that for the sake of basketball. He seems like a legit talented young kid - he can work on his own things and get healthy and still become a professional basketball player - maybe rejoin the NBA later on(easier for him since he has family ties in the league) or just play over seas.

    Take care of yourself, young man!

    I wanted the Rockets to draft Jamal Shead with that second round pick.

    I like Shead but being in Toronto is ultimately better for him than here where he's behind FVV/Holiday/Reed.
