https://twitter.com/markg_medina/status/551535421708963841 Tarik Black is being disrespected. The guy was a starter on a good playoff team. They pick him up just to stick him in the DLeague. He deserves minutes over scrubs like Sacre and Hill. He probably deserves minutes over Howard, Smith and Dorsey, too. Byron Scott's agenda to suck up to Kobe by mistreating former Dwight teammates is transparent.
Actually someone is sending him where he can learn and grow even more. He is already an NBA player. Now he can grow into a Top 200 player. Rockets did not do that because they wanted flexibility above all.
Not sure how much more he can learn in vs. D-League competition. For a guy already show ability to compete at the NBA speed, it's like a grown man trying to build muscle bench-pressing 5lb weight.
He might as well send Lin as well. Lin it's a former starter for the rockets too. Why not throw Jordan Hill into that mix too?
How did not sending Black to the D-league improve flexibility for the Rockets? He was only playing because we needed the bodies. He played well as he got more game experience, but he would have been in the D-league if TJ was healthy.
Surely Black > Sacre at the very least. The Lakers organisation is surely screwed up. The Phil Jackson episode is another that comes to mind.
Why is Black being marginalized? Best call Consumer Reports because Scott appears to be softer than Charmin.
Lakers FO becoming smarter, last time they had a player from Houston they paid 15 million for a bench player, with Tarik now they pay only 15.5 million for 2 bench players which sound a lot better
What about learning some skills outside of rebounding, blocking? What about learning how to score baskets and not be a total black hole on Offense?
Lol minimum contract.... You could have signed a veteran there other than borderline horrible Dorsey.
