    What credit exactly? For two years, he and his friend Silas kept the most important potential of the team behind a bum who beat his girlfriend and went to prison, and a kid whose mind was not in the game never.

    Which team in the league would give Jock Landale this contract today?

    It was even said that this man came down to the training court and gave instructions to the players.

    All he has to do is realize that the players he drafted with the second and third picks will never turn out the way he envisioned, and that he will do what is necessary during the trade period and go away at the end of the season.

    I hate him as much as Silas, and maybe even more. He was basically the reason why Silas had been able to stay here this long. Plans to create a headhoncho together!

    He should have taken Mobley and Murray over Green and Bari...we would be a lot better now.

    Mobley means no Sengun and Murray....seriously? LOL

    Mobley is extremely overrated as he landed on a team with 3 all stars. If you think Green is bad I'm sure Mobley would have looked like a bust here cuz he can't score apart from layups and dunks and no one on our team can set him up. Keegan Murray is undersized at 6'8 and is already 23 yrs old, literally 3 yrs older than Jabari.

    Yeah we'd be better THIS year and LAST year but when Jabari hits 25 you'd realize he is much better than Murray lol.

    You realize Stone was the one who drafted your guy Sengun right?

    Getting Sengun already means Stone gets an A.

    The whole point of tanking is to get that franchise player/ star. Maybe Green and Jabari don't turn into stars but Sengun already turned into a star. It's mission accomplished. It's like when the Mavs got Luka, their job at building a contender got much easier.

    And the nice thing about Sengun is he isn't a unicorn either, he doesn't look like he'll have a short career due to injuries or have some mental flaws like say Zion or Harden. He's a legit 21 yr old all star and if our young core isn't enough to help him win a ring I'm sure he can attract displaced superstars to help him in the future.

    You'd have blown a fuse when they were forced to dump KPJ to add Mobley. And if you think that, despite Mobley's dad making it clear his son wouldn't be interested in playing here, everything would have been all rosy, you're deluded and probably singing Kumbaya as you read this. :D

    stone may be out of a job once it’s clear his prized draft picks all flopped. Sengun and finding Tate are the only sure fire hits he’s had to his name to date.

    remember this idiot wanted frank Vogel

    Stone not only picked Sengun, he traded up for the pick. How many times did we hear Morey say “we tried to trade up, but nothing worked.”

    Hey! Leave Kumbaya out of your hate speech! ;) Kumbaya wants no part of the conflict.

    Honestly though, it seems to me the greatest thing that ever happened to Stone was coach Udoka becoming available and coach Udoka saying, "I will come there for a big bag of money and you will stay out of my way! Right Tillman?!"

    Holiday is a 2 way deal bro. Landale sucks ass but apparently he outplayed Ayton last year and his contract is not guaranteed.
