    That they'll lie through their teeth about a particular player on the roster.

    Oh I had to show ignored content to see who the OP was.

    Imagine my shock when I saw the context of the post. (that was a lie, just how it was a lie when Stone sat there with the poker face of all poker faces responding to the fact that Jalen makes the team worse)

    What are the 'many areas' you talk about?

    Because defense is the only one, and he went from being the worst in the league to being, eh he gets a pass because he's trying some of the time.

    I especially loved his defensive IQ to end the quarter of game 7, when he completely ran away from the Warriors player with the ball to go defend someone insignificant, allowing the heave which we all knew was the moment they weren't going to win that game.

    I also love the fact a guy who just finished his FOURTH YEAR, somehow cannot really improve any of his shooting numbers. You know, the guy who apparently is a 'gym rat'. Who loves nothing more than comparing himself to the all time greats. Someone who conned so many idiots (like you) into thinking they're an elite scorer.

    The only accurate thing Jalen Green can do, is putting his kids in 40 year old women who are only interested in him for his money. I can't tell - is he just as stupid on the court as he is off it? Or is he just as stupid off the court as he is on it?

    Funny, the one thing he's 'good' at, he went out and showed the world what an utter joke he is in that regard when teams feign interest in stopping him (even worse than when he did the exact same thing and made an absolute fool of himself in the dunk contest). And yet there's idiots like you who try to claim that defenses do nothing but game plan to stop Jalen. When the reality is, if they did that every game in the regular season, he'd have more single point games than he would cracking double digits.

    It's just so damn crazy, that these other youngsters on the team managed to find their feet in the playoffs and contribute to winning crucial games, while Jalen did his usual thing and acted like a ball and chain around their ankles.

    But no, Jalen's only 23 years old. Why wouldn't you continue into year 5 with a guy who has done one thing his entire NBA career, which is prove how unreliable he is.

    Something something, insane, something something definition. (Disclaimer: because I know you won't understand that OP, it is telling you to go look at the definition of insanity)

    I don't know how you continue to make a post just as idiotic as your last one, but you need to be banned because you bring Clutchfans IQ down every single time you post. I honestly think you might be the worst poster Clutchfans has ever seen.

    “Again, we love our roster and we’re not looking to make major changes but it’s my job to see what’s out there, my job to listen.”

    Stone will trade for another Cody Zelller next season.

    Stone seems to be all in for defense first approach to win.

    When Ime was asked if anything he would do differently, he did not show any self reflection on improvements in coaching.

    Given this, I am not sure if we will see any offensive improvement through coaching but we shall see.

    I love the rebuttal.

    Anything?

    Can you offer anything in response to disprove a single thing that was said?

    That's a rhetorical question - we all know you can't.

    Who went out whimpering like a little pathetic weak b*tch more? You or Jalen?

    His agenda was to let Stone know that the fans at large have watched Jalen play and know he is holding the team back. It’s not like he didn’t know what Stone’s response would be.

    “We love Stephen (Silas) and the work he does with our players each and every minute of the day. He is a ray of sunshine in an ocean of peril.”

    “We love Kevin (Porter) and the amazing way he treats women. If I had a daughter, I would pray she married a clone of Kevin.”

    “We love Westbrook and the competitive selfishness he has. We should celebrate the brilliance of Russ by lighting a candle in his name to memorialize the joy he brings to us all individually and collectively.”

    Stone has literally said nothing of substance in an interview ever.

    Ime Udoka, grinning, on what he felt the Rockets were missing during the playoffs: “I’d say 90% free throw shooters and 50% 3-point shooters, that’s what we’re missing.”

    The only authentic and honest statement at that press conference. It was not a one off. He played the Rockets that way all season because he knew they SUCK at shooting. Didn't need the playoffs to figure that out.

    trading jalen and the nets picks for bridges would have been utterly asinine. Imagine this offseason if the knicks offer bridges for jalen, the 25, 27, 29 suns picks, and the 29 mavs pick. Stone has been saved many times from absolutely horrendous moves, this probably being the worst of all.
