He can dish it but last year he couldn’t take it as well as he could dish it out. Said all that stuff about poking bears then dipped when Lebron pwned him. Even worse he blamed the media when he was the one giving out statement fodder while all blinged up.
I like his attitude now but I hope he keeps it up all the way this time.

Posting these quotes means nothing. He has for sure shown he’s a good talker, remains to be seen if he can contribute to winning here. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I don’t have strong feelings on him as a person one way or another. All that bear poking stuff then ducking reporters afterward is just whatever to me, stirring the pot just to stir the pot. I don’t think the players *actually care about it* as much as we think they do; the NBA is halfway to being pro wrestling at this point.
I just want him to be more efficient with us on offense than he was with the Grizzlies. That’s it. He was kind of a chucker with Memphis, one of the least efficient higher-usage players in the league, and that’s going to be really bad for us trying to improve our scoring if he doesn’t turn it around.
