[Tim McMahon] People within the Dallas Mavericks were turned off by Grant Williams’ ‘yapping,’ and he was reportedly not in good shape



“I would say one of the ways that Grant Williams rubbed people the wrong way, the yap, yap, yapping obviously that’s kind of part of it with him. Which it’s charmingly obnoxious if he’s productive and it’s grating when he’s not. But he didn’t report in good shape and Grant Williams not in good shape is not a good defender.”

From the Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective podcast. It almost sounds like parody

  2. FlatBirthday333

    Idk why yapper and yapping became a trendy word in the past month but its funny af

    Grant Williams is gone and traded, he can’t hurt you anymore.

    That one is not hard to believe, actually. He was always talking and never backing it up, must be infuriating to have your teammate put a fire under opponent’s star and then lets you deal with it. As for the second part, you need no report really. Man was built like George Costanza, the only opponents that didn’t blow by him were the ones who didn’t attempt to

    How many picks does it take to offload MacMahon to another team?

  6. syllabic

    tim mcmahon is the GOAT mavs mudslinger

  7. DocTheYounger

    Never seen an 8th man slandered this hard after getting traded lol

    It’s Tim McMahon, so yeah that makes sense

  9. A_MASSIVE_PERVERT

    A reporter using the phrase “yapping” is wild lmao

    I don’t even know what to say, Grant was so hyped up when Dallas signed him but I all I see in him is one of the most average guys in the league who is also undersized. No need to bash or mock him when he’s gone.

    there are hit pieces then there’s this

  12. What does MacMahon have against Dallas? This guy is always writing hit pieces against their players and just shitting all over them, i dont understand

  13. JabroniWithAPeroni

    “Yapping” “not in good shape”

    *Looks over at Luka*

  14. actual_yellow_bag

    I don’t see why this dude isn’t banned media here

  15. TrashAssRedditAdmins

    They said blud was hosting a yap-a-thon 😭

    Can someone for gods sake get tim mcmahon away from this team? For whoever takes him, we’re willing to include draft picks and financial compensation as well.

    Tim MacMahon needs to get the Nick Friedell treatment.

    Can’t wait to see what Kidd and/or Luka will say the next time they’re asked a question from Tim.

    Edit: Also I really don’t like that all of these stories about Grant have come out since the trade. He may not have produced in a way that the Mavs envisioned but he was always professional and seemed to be a good guy. It sucks to be traded away from a team you really wanted to be on and then have all of these negative stories following you out the door.

    He also switched shoes from Luka’s to Tatum’s

    Why is NBA media like this? At this point if you want good coverage you have to follow good YouTubers.

  21. Flimsy-Trust-2821

    Few people fear death as much as McMahon fears irrelevancy

  22. account051

    Is it just me or is “yap” a really weird word to be coming back into vogue. Like this is traditionally a hick ass way to talk but people are thinking it’s cool. I feel very old

  23. AlternativeTea9268

    Calling it now: Grant Williams’ career is a fascinating case study on what Draymond Green’s career would look like if he was drafted by anyone other than Golden State

  24. TheyNeedLoveToo

    You keep Grant’s name out of yo fucking mouth Tim

  25. spark2824

    Just a regular reminder than McMahon doesn’t have serious sources in the org, is much more interested in drama and narratives than actual basketball (so not totally out of line with this sub), and sometimes it’s best when you can invent the drama yourself.

  26. slayerkj

    He got kicked because he’s not good enough to be annoying and fat

  27. jumboponcho

    He’s def projecting how he feels about dude onto the Mavs

  28. Soft-Rains

    McMahon should be banned here. Just giving a troll thr attention he craves.

    It’s been pretty clear he takes the juicy gossip and then just reports it as fact. People here have speculated all this stuff and he just reports in it with no source.
