NBA 

 

IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD PAST THE PROCESS.  WE HAVE YOUNG BASKETBALL TALENTS THAT JUST WANT TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND WIN. 

 

JOEL HAS BECOME A DEFINITE LIABILITY AND WE NEED TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.  WE MUST SEARCH OUT A BIG MAN THAT PLAYS THE BIG MAN POSITION.  WHAT HAS REALLY BEEN DISCOURAGING FOR ME IS THAT YOU PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO SEE THE WHOLE TEAM COMPETE AND THAT’S JUST NOT THE CASE.  JOEL HAS TO SHOW UP EVERY NIGHT AND COMPETE EVERY NIGHT.  DON’T GIVE FANS A REASON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HIS ANTICS.  LEAVE IT ON THE COURT.  THAT IS HOW I WAS TAUGHT TO PLAY THE GAME I LOVE.  AND, IT IS UPSETTING AND DISPARAGING TO WATCH THE WOMEN PLAY ALL OUT EVERY GAME AND NOT RECEIVE WHAT THEY DESERVE FINANCIALLY, NOT EVEN HALF!!!   DISGUSTING TO ME. 

 

GUERSCHON YABUSELE IS ALL IN!!!!!  YES,  IT IS TIME WE GO OVERSEAS TO GET WHAT WE NEED TO GET A CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!  IT WOULD BE NICE IF JOEL REALIZES THAT IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO MOVE ON, IF HE IS NOT FULLY INVESTED AS HE ONCE WAS.  NOTHING PERSONAL, IT’S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS!!!!  THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS AS A PLAYER AND COACH.
