Surely there is another move or two coming, Gabe/Rick/Jeff surely aren't penny pinching and are trying to build a long term team who can compete, but who is the player/s they are targeting? Please make it make sense (and soon).
Man, as someone who has followed/Watched/Cheered through all the bad times, to see LaMelo get traded hurts so much more than I thought it would after the way we finished last season. First time there has been fun and hope in...honestly, can't remember.
Been thinking about this. It's not about hoops, but it is about a hooper.
Give Wemby and his marketing team major credit.
For three or four years now he's been saying yes. Access. Interviews. Riding the subway. Playing chess. Living with monks. Voiced geopolitical takes. Stunt-y or not, doesn't matter.
I think reporters have been starved of actual access from NBA stars for a long time. From LeBron to Jokic, you only got the few crumbs that the player and his sneaker brand and his agency wanted you to have. Then, journalists (and talkshow hosts) would have to make a meal out of crumbs. (Crumbs that often came with strings attached.)
Wemby's kind've bucked that trend. So now that he's got the biggest stage of his career, those same access-starved reporters (who also, fwiw, tend to align with his politics and disposition) have got stories, angles, and the "superhero" they've craved to cover.
Whether Wemby's genuinely that guy or just plays one really well, I don't know. But from a media and marketing standpoint, he and his team ran their long play about as well as we've seen it run in a long time.
Salute.
@DutchieNate@blowingtom2 Will say, a lot of this depends on the place where you live. In the area I live, its always labor in your face not ON/Libs. I really think this depends on the person, not affiliation.
How is my parcel taking longer to get from Sydney to my place than it has taken to go through all the bells and whistles from being processed, shipped from UK, UK customs, flown to Sydney, through Sydney customs, and has been sitting in the ‘final mile carrier’ for longer.
