Monty seriously needs to go. This is getting out of control.

This is falling apart on Monty. So him and Reke have issues and Monty benches him for the game. Then the team comes out and plays like dogshit in the first half. hmmm I smell mutiny. One can only hope.

Well I hope we aren't making team decisions based on who is fun to watch and who is viewable...
Why not?

That's what I thought the point of all of this was. To put butts in the seats and eyes on the screen.

Fun to watch isn't a factor.

I'm a known hater of the move to get him and the contract we gave him. I still think it was a massive mistake.

But I have liked watching him.

No, the point is to make money

I would say the winning and the butts in seats is in the same vein. And I would say Reek does both (when his skill set is used properly).

It wasn't just rusty he was full scale out of control on numerous possessions.

C'mon.

There would be numerous teams interested in Evans if he were to hit the trade market.

Tyreke better have killed somebody. If Monty is benching his 2nd best player right now bc his panties are in a wad for something, after the fans have had to put up w his frickin pathetic arse for this long, then frick him and his stinkin arse.

It's just one thing after another with this arrogant frickin clown.

Ok the guy that on friday stat line was 7points 3rebs and 2ass with 3 turnovers in 20 minutes played terrible....



Eric gordon better get zero minutes tomorrow night then! His stat line was 7points 1Reb 2 arse 3TO in 28 minutes! Gordon isnt half the player Reke is and he gets more minutes every game! Reke agreed to a manu role off bench 30+ minutes not a normal backup role or slightly more then that.

Ok, I am not letting Monty off the hook for this one but, Tyreke played selfish basketball Friday. How do I know...I was there...a few rows off the floor. Reke was not passing the ball,would go into the lane totally out of control, played piss poor D, was not hustling and everytime he "thought" he had a shot...he took it! Which pretty much was everytime he touched the ball!!!!

Guy doesn't even fit well. If he's not happy with coming off the bench, let him go.



This isn't on tyreke imo

He's been cool with his role and it's monty causing this drama

Tyreke wants to help the team in every way he can and monty is being monty

Simple as that

He said himself he's trying to do too much.

It's not like he's in denial here

Let's teach someone with a $44 million guaranteed contract by sitting him on the bench and giving him the night off. That'll teach him a lesson.

“No, we never talked about that,” Evans told Sheridan Hoops. “I haven’t talked to him about it. We talk here and there but I haven’t talked to him about what role is whose on the team.”

Asked if the communication with Williams has to improve, Evans said that it needed to improve. “It has to get better. We have to know our roles on the team.”

sometimes you wonder if any of them know, sometimes we have 2-3 players in 1 spot.
