hope for the best for tm, but if he's not in the league at this point, it's not because of lack of bball ability, so it may never happen for him ...

He's a great dunker, but 90% of that particular dunk's credit should go to the assist man. Perfectly placed...

The D League is actually becoming a huge part of the NBA. All it takes is team taking a chance on him and him finding the right fit.

The Grizzlies have a guy on their roster now who they plucked out of the D League and he is playing significant minutes for us.

my biggest gripe with grant is him kicking Tony off the team. I dont know what TM did to CAG, but he didnt get arrested for it so i dont think it could have been too terrible. We could have made some noise in the tourney with Jamychel, TM, and Trevor.

I know what happened. One of my food delivery guys at Formaggios was related to Steele. He told me. I wasnt surprised we never saw TM again.

TM had no problem telling Grant to frick off whenever he felt like it

wrong, in my experience with teams, if it's not an illegal offense but you are kicked off the team, it's for being an butthole or an infection on the team.

Didn't he push a trainer down after the game and then leave the lockeroom?

I don't agree with him doing that, but damn, I can understand. Tony was a baller, playing for a shite coaching staff.

If you let a player get away with that, then you can pretty much forget about having any control over your team. Plus, that was probably just the last straw not a first offense

how about not letting it get to that. being a coach means managing your players and your assistant coaches. does anybody think Mitchell just walked up to a coach unprovoked and started getting physical with him? that probably would have never happened if he had any trust that his head coach would be fair to him

From what I was told, a trainer came to check him out after the game and Mitchell was unhappy and just shoved him down basically. It had nothing to do with a coach.

I was told an assistant was in his ear and he shoved him into a locker.
