I love his game. Would be a great spark off the bench. Kelly Oubre faced the same smear campaign. “Me first attitude doesn’t play defense.” Yet a perfect fit for the Sixers teammates and coaches talk highly of him.
Not sure why people are downvoting OP or spreading misinformation. The Nuggets GM already debunked “bad attitude” smear. He was traded to the Clippers because of Nuggets’ philosophy. They don’t want players with "overlapping strengths or weaknesses. "
I’d trade Thad young + a 2nd
Isn’t he supposedly pretty toxic?
I don’t think so. I am a big nuggets fan and watched a lot of him when he was with the team and he isn’t the right type of guy for the offence and culture we are building. Maybe he has matured be the Nuggets traded him because he had beaf with Murray and over his minutes. He can’t play a lick of defence and likes to call his own shot before anything.
That’s not the type of player we need in a .5 second offensive where the point is ball movement and quick decision making. Yes he can shoot the 3 ball and score but if that comes at the cost of the defence and culture it’s not worth it.
Didn’t know all of this. Makes sense though.
Why do we keep going after moves that will not move the needle in either direction and continue to allow this treadmill nightmare?
This guy seems like an asshole tho
