Zagoria with an epic water chug game
If ur not locked on ur locked out
Do you think we need another big man? Personally I do. But If Reed can get a double, double we can do some damage
I think C won’t be our strongest position but that is where most teams are. We will be just fine with who we have already. Reed will be better.
LA is not even the day before yesterday. Management doesn't deserve the name.
That decision had zero to do with Loyalty. He was breaking even when factoring in Taxes and LA cost of living. Will he be disloyal when he takes the Knicks or Nets or Sixers job in 11 months?
I don’t think he’ll be a going for a 3Peat by then and have a kid come back that easily could left if he knew Danny was going to the NBA. So you bet your ass loyalty had a major part in this, loyal to your family not uprooting them and loyal to your team that is counting on you.
Life’s not black and white. It’s not one or the other but he 100 pct is a loyal guy. The fact he even met with the team beforehand showed a type of loyalty most coaches can’t even comprehend
Are you the guy who wants Dan “humbled” .. not sure what the hell that means. But we’re not buying
The fact that he could've left but chose not to is a clear sign of loyalty.
