I read the quote and thought it was lame af

He had a chick in his room, it's not like he was arrested. And the last time I checked these dudes aren't in HS/College anymore. They're professionals getting paid, so they can miss me with this bullshyt acting like it's the end of the world because he wanted some p*ssy.

I'm saying though.

It's not even like he got caught w/ herb in his room like Beasley & Chalmers did back in the day

Dont forget Eddie Griffin :to:

But yo I think you're reading too much into this breh. Did you see what Flip said about the situation? the tweet I posted? Plus Flip himself said before the draft we wont rely on rookies because we are ready to compete NOW!

The Bazz situation was a little embarrassing but no a big deal in the grand scheme of things relax. If healthy we are a 6-8 seed at least!

I heard what he said, I listen to Funkadelic.

It shouldn't be a big deal now. With these fugazi ass threats he got, now there's gonna be a constant "is he gonna send him down?" The best way to handle it is to talk to him in private (the punishment is what it is), let him know the situation, and move on. Have a Full House talk, work on his game, use your head, and see you in camp. This isn't the time or place for tough love. Let his teammates handle that. Let Ricky lead, K-Mart, Pek, the assistants he'll be working with, let them show the leadership skills they have. Trust them to keep Shabazz focused.

McCant wasn't a troubling Ayer. He said Minny dropped him cuz he didn't smile. imagine if Perkins got traded to Minny in the KG deal. KG spoke highly of McCants I thought.

KG mentored McCants. Once KG got dealt, McCants had no guidance, so the talent was there, but he became a self absorbed a$$hole that thought the world was out to get him.

True you're right about that man... That grandstanding does kind of isolate Bazz a little bit. Flip said he was trying to be more socially available. I dont know if you noticed but dude is pretty active on twitter (for a GM). Maybe he should cool it down a little. I never thought about it that way really.... I hope Bazz doesnt feel some kinda way about this though.

Him being active on Twitter is OK. Him having a segment every Friday on KFAN is OK. shyt, before Kahn the team used to treat everything like a classified CIA document. Being honest is OK and keeping us informed is OK, but he's a GM now. He's not on ESPN anymore. He has to know his personnel. He spent a lot of time trying to make people happy and reassured about the future here, but when he doesn't like you, he makes it too clear. Some shyt he just has to keep in house.

Kmart ain't no leader. The rest come from a different background. I agree though and always thought that Minny need to bring in some real veterans for the young brothers. They haven't really had it since the kg era. That'll make environment more comfortable for the young brother they're afraid of losing, be it cuz of character or their own will.

Well K-Mart and Chase will be extensions of Rick on the court. That's why I mentioned them.


The only way you can change this remotely is by actually winning games (and having someone to build around, that's where Ricky will be needed). If you're losing all the time, you're gonna hate everything about everyone. When you win, you'll let a lot of shyt slide. Nobody wants to be around a loser, so they have to go at it alone. It's not like before where you had guys like Terry Porter or Sam Mitchell or Malik Sealy be willing to help out. Nowadays those guys either go to Miami, BK, NY, LA, wherever or want twice as much to play in Minny. Winning's the only way to get people to notice.

I guess I have a bias against Kmart. Everybody knew Houston weren't contenders but he was way to boisterous and vocal about it prior the days of his trade and a I know a lot of that had to do prolly with him going from playing under Adelmans to Mchale. He acted like anything but a veteran in his time here, let alone a professional.
