What I heard was that his ego caused a lot of problems, particularly during his freshman year at VCU. Yes, every premier athlete has an ego, but not everyone's ego causes problems. I still love the guy, but it seems to be an ongoing problem. I hope he can find a balance between confidence and problematic behavior.
Maybe so. The Nuggets look good. They might have a problem with depth in the finals if they make it there. They traded for Reggie Jackson who was a key contributor for clippers for years and he washes the towels for Denver. Bones would be on the bench with Nnaji, Ish Smith, Cancar and the rest of the roster. I know he could have toughed it out but things unraveled. That is over now so onward and upward.
I think this is a rumor. Bones was a talented freshman. Could the seniors have been the problem? I would not throw all the issues that season on Bones. Seems like a coaching issue to me.
I heard it from someone who works in the athletic department. I'm not saying Bones caused the problems that brought down that 2019 team, but I think he had a hand in it. I think a LOT of things went wrong that year -- injuries, egos, family members, etc.
Agree. It's on the coaching staff to address and fix chemistry issues on a team. Glad I don't have to figure out how to do that, but then again, I'm not a coach. I would think many coaches have to address these issues, but that 2019-2020 team just never seemed fixed to me.
I would agree with this except the guy who did all that left before the season started and is with the T-Wolves now, and wasting a first rounder is a bigger deal for for a small market franchise. Of course many/most picks outside the lottery don't work out, and many of those don't as well.
I think that it’s hard to call an organization that has never won an NBA title or even made the Finals the best run organization in the league.
Yeah. I followed them closely from the time Bones was drafted. I watched all of their games too. Their front office is weak. VCU has a better practice facility. The won the lottery by getting Jokic. I like Gordon too. It just did not work out. Bones did get some good experience there though.
Stan is cheap, cheap, cheap. I probably should've only typed it once because three times implies excess
Not talking historically, just recently.
It’s impressive, but I think they need to win a couple titles to get the best run franchise in the NBA title. A least one, but maybe a couple.
Kawhi is turning 32 and just had another knee. Westbrook is done. They will blow that team up soon.
