Boston Celtics' Enes Kanter Freedom blasts Jeremy Lin for playing in China: 'Shame on you'

[Flagrant Fowl]

Maybe it's just me, but Enes Kanter Freedom comes across as a self-righteous hypocrite.

It's like a vegan shaming people inside of a deli while eating an overpriced salad.

I'm not trying to bring a political debate here, and I'm sympathetic to a lot of his opinions, but I'm not going to take him seriously as long as he's collecting checks in the NBA.

Im not sure what him collecting checks in the NBA has to do with it. With the size of an NBA paycheck he can afford to help a lot more people.

You always know who's from Seattle, and who's a Vegan. They never fail to let you know.

He can help people without talking shit to the media about players like Jeremy Lin who're also trying to earn money by playing professional basketball.

[Split T]

My thing is please feel free to be outspoken about whatever you feel strongly about, but I don’t see why he needs to call out other people for not speaking out like he is. Especially people he doesn’t know and has no relationship with.

[pickle]

I agree with FF. He is well within his rights to promote his cause but to shame other people who have different considerations is too much.

[Shabazz]

Desmond Bane looks like a real stud. I remember pretty much everyone on this board liking him and he was one of the few prospects actually linked with the Suns, but the consensus was that he was too much of a reach at 10. Well, that didn't work out at all.

Oh boy
Yea these reports picking up steam

Needless to say, they have no intention of playing Wiseman real minutes anytime soon. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him traded during this season.

I expect it. That team can win a title, Wiseman, Moody, and Kuminga are not going to contribute now. Those guys can help fetch something that will. Not saying they’ll trade all of them, but I’d expect 1 or 2 of them to be packaged to add another piece.

I’ve heard people mention a Wiseman for Myles Turner trade and that’s kinda scary. Turner would be great for them.

They'd have to trade at least two of their young guys in a deal for Turner just to get the contracts close enough.

Ya I guess they really don’t have much to trade contract wise. Wiseman/Looney works though. That or Wiseman/Kuminga but that seems a little rich for Turner.

Looney is a piece of their rotation, but he’d essentially be replaced by Turner, so they might go for it. Leaves them with zero backup bigs though.

Curry-Klay-Wiggins-Dray-Turner is kinda scary though. Poole, Toscano-Anderson-Iggy-Porter off the bench. Land a buyout big for emergencies and you’ve probably got your title favorites right there…assuming Kyrie doesn’t come back.

[bajanguy008]

Wow man
Whatever became of this dude

[Split T]

He got a 2-year suspension for drug use I believe. I remember I was pretty interested in going after him in free agency one year. It was unfortunate for him as he had turned around his career. His biggest weakness was always that he couldn’t shoot, but he turned that around in Memphis. I wonder what he’s got left.

[bajanguy008]

Kept seeing this score popping up and forgot that LaMelo n Rozier were out
Quite an effort from the Hornets, saw their young draft picks had some splash plays also

Yea I remembered you being high on him

Interesting
Well I guess not really cause I'm in Tourism Industry here and Canada doesn't mess around with their mandates. Been cancellations at my hotel because their Minister said they will not be covering insurance for anyone who contracts Covid on their travels
