      @@bromax800 he's was the best player in a really good team. Went deep in the playoffs with great games along the way. He was a player in his prime who had already shown the flashes and now was delivering on his potential. 2nd team All-NBA in 2017. He was essentially seen as an equal to Kyrie and that was a year after his 2016 playoffs performance where his stock was at an all time high. Even after his injury people were saying the Cavs won the trade and directly comparing the two to one another. He just got a really bad injury

    Kenneth Fharid was never given a chance. Mike Malone didn't like him for some reason so he cut his minutes little by little until he wasn't in the rotation.

Says defense doesn’t matter and was out of shape from training camp into December. Markkanen was out so he could even play his preferred position and he was awful. When he’s healthy and in shape he’s a decent bench player but nothing more.

Matt Barnes and Stack said it themselves they were smokin hella dope during the season and Al Harrington smoked weed the day before a drug test and they passed him. The NBA only cares about PEDs and other hard drugs like Cocaine, etc. The NBA will never punish one of its top star players in the likes of a Lebron, KD, AD, Kawhi, etc. for using drugs. It'd destroy their brands and is just terrible for the leagues growth.

      Dan Mohr Sports because the big difference with those two is defense/rim protection. Faried was never a bad defender but just a average rim protector, meanwhile Trez is better at defending the paint and rebounding now, and Trez is entering his prime and is at the peak of his athleticism. Faried is 30 years old, so he’s not young and has lost the athleticism he once had before.

      @J D to be honest drose has stopped using his signature insane hop step already so i think he can handle more minutes now, just really he need more range if he wants to improve which he still is very stiff on his jumpshot.
      and fell off and affected by injury shouldn't be the same talk.
      those full speed, changing direction hop steps are killer to his knees.
