Tyrese Haliburton: “[The Kings] were telling me after my rookie year ‘Hey man you’re gonna be here awhile, you should look into buying a house’, I was like ‘I’m good, I’m good, I don’t gotta worry bout nothin’.”
“Who tf is this?”😂
Kangz fumbled big time. How could a team be so damn stupid?
Organizational incompetence is a disease that a good dozen or more pro sports franchises have.
Bad Owners are a death kneel lol
Knell*
The Rockies have it for now. But I’m hoping we’re in the wee hours of dawn of getting rid of the Monforts
The New York Knicks.
That just won an championship?
Dolan is a bad owner tho
Yeah that’s my point. People said Dolan is a horrible owner for a long time.
Hes still a total dickhead, but at least as the owner of an NBA team he got way better by butting out. Leon Rose knows how to run basketball ops. Dolan just has to cut the checks
How do you know he’s hands off? If he is why can’t we just wait 27 years for the other shitty owners to do that if you’re dismissing him being a shitty owner?
He’s hands off because he actually hired someone to run the basketball ops. Also I’m not defending Dolan being a shitty owner at all.
I’m saying he got better by meddling less. Which is a lesson many bad owners should learn. Although I do think a lot of owners aren’t so much incompetent as they are cheap
Because that’s what happened and he’s given interviews about it and Leon has confirmed it.
It’s been literal years of reporting on this that Dolan was more focused on stuff like The Sphere while allowing Leon to deal with the Knicks. Now because he’s awful he’s become more hands on now that they’ve been good
Yup, it’s no coincidence that our horrible fortunes began to change exactly when our ownership did. The decision-making and culture around the team is night and day since then.
(You can obviously point to us drafting Ant shortly before that as well, but Ant does not get the chance to become the Ant of today in previous Timberwolves regimes.)
Ferrari F1 strategists say hello
mat ishbia is a good owner but terrible basketball decision maker. he’s done a lot of good for the franchise outside of the actual on court stuff where he’s made terrible decision after terrible decision (fuck miles bridges)
Sell Haliburton because you have Fox. Trade Fox away as well and now end up with Zach Lavine and Derozan. Profit???!!
Let’s not forget that Vlade explicitly said a big part of why he passed on Luka is that they already had Fox - no speculation, straight from the GM’s mouth: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/Sa89ScuAEW
Coulda/shoulda had Luka, Hali and the return for young Fox. Instead got Sabonis, Bagley and the return for older Fox.
There was no return for young fox. He was a bum that season which is why haliburton got traded. Fox had no trade value and was already on a pretty big contract so no rookie contract value either
Tbf if kings got Luka there’s no way they have a high enough pick to get Hali
At least we didn’t know how that would end up. The kings are textbook insane
The Kings have to remain terrible at all times with no hope, thats the sacrifice needed to keep parity in the league. The Kings suffer so we can rejoice.
What missing 16 straight playoffs in a row does a franchise. We just needed to let out a load. Post nut clarity hit like a mofo tho
You’re just making the symptoms. The disease is not one good ownership since I started watching during the Maloof era
Incompetent management really can cripple a franchise for years
Unless Vivek pulls a Sterling, he stays owner until he doesn’t want to. This is by design.
Terrible ownership.
Probably one of the only draft picks the kings hit on in recent years and they trade him lol
Shit makes me sick lol
Classic Kangz
Discord join sound had me fucked up talkin to ghosts for a sec.
He’s a good storyteller
He shot that bih from Yucatan
Bro stays gettin lied to
Shout out Numbers On The Board man.
This trade has brought so me much happiness!
My follow Kings fans told me he’d never even be better than LaMelo the day of the trade
I’ll never forgive brainwashed idiots on r/kings trying to gaslight me into believing it was a good trade. I nearly cried when we made that trade. And look what we have to show for it.
I’m very level headed emotionally when it comes to sports and crying, but the only times I cried about something sports related was when Kobe died and when we traded Hali for Sabonis… And not even cuz I super loved Hali or anything but because it truly hit me like a thousand bricks that we’re actually a purposefully stupid franchise who will never get it right.
Says he’s level headed emotionally about sports than said he cried about Kobe dying…
Saboner
imagine not yet broken down Embiid with Tyrese. DAMN.
And maxey
Seen only one clip of this podcast before and my lasting image of it is the guy who had his hair painted on like Carlos Boozer back in the day
Who would even consider trading Tyrese Haliburton for Ben Simmons?
The Kings, that’s who
I mean… Harden was traded for Simmons.
That was a trade forced by Harden.
The Kings actually wanted Ben.
Please sell Vivek. make 10X your money and leave already.
To who
Tyrese is such a funny story teller. He’s so animated
it’s impossible not to like Hali.
I really hope he can get back to 100% of who he was pre-injury (and perhaps even better), ‘cause that’s a player I love to watch
Shoutout numbers on the board!
The room started spinning when I saw that trade notification pop up on my phone.
Monte McNair was woefully inadequate as a GM. Dude has zero social awareness between the Brown firing and “can I stop by your house.” The fuck you need to stop by the house after you traded the guy away.
Nah every player, from superstar to 15th man, know that 99.9% of them can be traded any minute. Look, even Luka could be traded. The only 0.1% are the players with no trade clause or players with contracts so horrible that it is untradable.
Fade me
Tyrese is a great interview.
Man I would be sick too lmao. Trade Hali only for Fox to demand out a couple of years later. They also fired their coach just a year after winning COTY.
