Love the dub even more now
I know that wasnât what you were saying. My comment about culture was in reference to Foundingâs statement. I wasnât sure if that was something heâd heard or just personal opinion.
But I 100% agree that the stretch significantly limits our ability to make a competitive offer for JC even if we wanted to.
And Miami absolutely got 6-7 secs on that inbound.
Oh yeah, I didnât take that directed my way. Was more just making an overt assertion that character has zero to do with my âwell actuallysâ around the courtship of JC.
I think ATL is going to be in a tough spot contractually in 2 years if they fully max JC and give Trae a max extension, want to keep Reddish, and still have Bogdon and Capella on the payroll.
I will clarify: for him to have never even been considered, usually means a culture issue with the Charlotte brass.
Thatâs interesting. I see trae young as more of the problem culture-wise in Atlanta. Heâs an absolute child.
Thatâs my sense, that Pierce didnât like his own alphaâs playing style might not be definitive but it says something. Adding to the complexity of contracts, if Collinsâ and Youngâs relationship has some mercury in it, this could be interesting to watch from the outside going forward. I know the narrative paints Pierce as the issue but Iâm betting thatâs not the entirety.
And as someone that watched every JC college game; the guards would completely go away from getting him the ball in the post for halves at a time. I can see a world where he gets uneasy feels from play resembling that in ATL, especially when it leads to Ls. Curious if @DemonDeaCat sees it similarly
I think thatâs a fair read of the situation. Ball dominant guards can be frustrating for a lot of bigs. That was definitely a frustration for JC his last year at Wake and has been with Trae as well. But heâs never been the type of guy who was divisive so if there were concerns about him negatively impacting team culture, from my experience and observation, those would be unfounded. Heâs always been a team oriented, good locker room guy.
100% this.
