    Sure glad we didn’t trade Alpi for his draft rights. Maybe @Clutch should change his podcast intro to say “from the man who would have traded Alperen Sengun for AJ Griffin.”

    Looking forward to future AJ tweets about the evils of Megan Thee Stallion and the women in the upcoming Wicked movie

    Read two articles tonight on the subject, neither worth the trouble of locating and linking them.

    One mentioned Butler, the other Jack Mcveigh but they already have him locked up on a two way deal.

    Maybe they do elevate McVeigh and give that two way to someone else, but there may be more talent out there on cut down day.
    I'd probably wait and see who was available first for the actual roster spot and then a two way before making any decision ....

    Vecenie mentioned that he was dealing with a p*rn addiction while also getting caught up in religious zealotry. If you're a man of God...how do you have a p*rn addiction?

    Dude probably asked the Rockets for a bus to drive him to games and they cut him.

    Do you have evidence......the only addiction he has is predicting draft picks and prospects.

    People are not perfect, as long as he is not claiming otherwise. Just because you believe doesn't automatically make you a saint, it takes time and effort to get better at anything you pursue.

    With that swollen top lip it looks like somebody didn’t agree with his decision.

    It's Griffin's decision - if he wants to do something other than basketball - then I am not going to judge him. Someone else that REALLY REALLY wants to be an NBA player will get a chance.

    Griffin has had a lot of injuries and emotional and mental struggles - but I will say this, as a SOPH/JUNIOR he was the best player in his class and an absolute monster. Had he avoided injuries and stayed focus, I have no doubt he would be a star in the NBA.

    Oh well - it happens. Eddie Griffin is another one... there is a long list of them.

    He's not wrong.

    All the signs are there (end times).

    *Euphrates river drying up (bible prophecy releasing the four fallen angels)

    *We (America -Russia) avoided WWII this past weekend by way of back door channels.

    *Abortions on demand being sought by wackos

    *Famine

    *Pestilence

    Port (union) workers set to go on strike Oct 1st. Expect shortages on food, gas, and materials.




    Buckle up everybody, may God help us.

    Seems like you could be a devotee of Jesus and still play basketball. It might even give you a platform and means to reach people who you otherwise couldn’t.

    I assume this means he is planning on becoming a pastor or a missionary. Has he laid out a specific plan?
