Damn, I really don't know, actually.

Forgive me, I definitely assumed he did.

That being said, whether he does or not, I do think he was a bit tacky to make such a statement during the playoffs without nuance.

What do you think, breh?

I'm willing to be changed on my opinion regarding this.
I agree the timing was ass, but if he doesnt work for the 6ers then I wouldnt really call it unprofessional

I really ain't buying the idea that Fultz is being held back or something by Brett...

After seeing Larry Brown and Clifford shyt on rookies for years (:mjcry:) I'm an expert on these things (:mjcry:). Fultz could at least give Philly 10 minutes a night - it ain't like he got established players to beat out or a job to steal. Its not like they're screwing him over either - he was completely free on the court when he did play. Dude had a triple double. If he was being shyt on then he would've been yanked for rotating too slow or for taking bad shots in an instant. They'd play him out of position constantly then blame him for looking like shyt (Frank :mjcry:). They'd draft him to take shots they never fukking practiced (Cody :mjcry:). They'd stick him with death trap assignments (like when Clifford made Malik Monk guard DeRozan then refused to play him again for another 2 weeks :mjcry:). Be made to stand in the corner and watch one of the bums run sets while down 40 at home in the 4th quarter (Word to DJ Augustin :mjcry:). Left to die on the court and be blamed like it was his own fault (RIP MKG x2 :mjcry:). Taking team Ls in spite of being able to provide something that no one else can on the entire roster (Al Jefferson and Biyombo LITERALLY never shared a minute together on the court :mjcry:).

I could go on :mjcry:


Nothing resembled any of that that ever happened to Fultz. By all accounts that entire franchise has been on his side from day one. I've never seen any shyt like this before over a full season. I think if Fultz just walked up to the scorer's table on his accord, Brett Brown might just break down and cry tears of joy on the spot.

Doc still does stuff for this team and he was just brought in on Monday to speak with them about the Celtics rivalry. That’s my read on it..so it’s not the best look for him to panning Coangelo’s guy.

Wack move by Dr. J...why put a kid down like that? He's obviously going thru some mental and confidence issues and you give a quote like that? When Lonzo was struggling I didn't hear Kobe, West, Baylor and other Laker legends dissing him. I don't care if it's true, it's in very bad taste and uncalled for
Yeah, I get that Dr. J has the right to say whatever he want but if he want to see them succeed he shouldn't have lowkey dissed Fultz like that. Validation from the legends means a lot for rookies in every sport.

fukk all that. Fultz has elite length and athleticism for a combo guard.
And he is good defensively. If he can come back next year playing how he played at the end of the regular season than that is a promising sign
Sixers have Saric, who is just as good as tatum having scored more while being more efficient , and convington who is better defensively and will be cheaper over the long haul.
Also people forget how tatum hit a rookie wall and was trash for a couple weeks but i ain't gon say nothing since yall hype off these last two games :sas2:
Sixers fukked up by giving boston the pick though.

Tatum went to my old barbershop today, middle of West Philly. He's officially more Philly than Fultz lol
