That isnt kd that fact that a lot of yall are giving this weirdo attention is making it worse that's why he dont wanna address it
This franchise is cursed. I wasnt a fan of the trade, but I tried to be optimistic. What makes it worse is that we knew KD isn't a leader, and trading Brooks has killed the team culture. Last season the team felt fun and exciting.
This rebuild has been disappointing to say the least. It produced no superstar, a 40 yo man-child in KD, a fringe allstar (sengun) and a bunch of role players. I don't see any of our players becoming a top 10 player. Fuck the lottery man. Hurts seeing our fucking in-state rivals set up for the next 10+ years with young superstars.
Jackson Gatilin calling a 23 yr old grown men (babies) is wild .. their being paid millions (millions!!!) to play a game …NBA is becoming weak and unwatchable
Kd is a curse great player but team killer Jackson push this trade 24/7 this team hate each other
Bridges would have the burner on Cha. Hes done worse lol 😂
Can KD be fixed ? I cannot bet on that Ime could fix a man who is 37 yrs old.
He was right about Jabari.
You push this clown trade everyday now the rebuild is toast I hope you happy don’t have our draft choice this year
Suns will take out rockets in playoffs bet on it
They can’t shoot not even free throws
KD left the Oklahoma City Thunder after 9 seasons, right after losing to the 73–9 Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. He joined those same Warriors a historically great team which many felt was a “competitive shortcut.” Later, he left Golden State for the Brooklyn Nets, then requested a trade from Brooklyn. He was eventually traded to the Phoenix Suns.
It appears that he is chasing better situations rather than sticking it out. Every team that he played there was a drama with him, he is not going to change.
Houston screwed up getting rid of Dillion brooks and bring in this mercenary judas
Lol at the copium. Kevin has always been a passive aggressive underachieving malcontent and he's had ya'll fooled from Day 1. Curry dragged him to two titles and if it wasn't for him, he'd basically be a lesser James Harden. At least Harden had the balls to go toe to toe with those same Warriors and was a CP3 hamstring away from toppling the greatest team ever assembled. He gave this city everything, flaws and all. KD couldn't even last a full season without throwing in the towel. He's a loser and his attitude has been reflecting on this team's play for a WHILE now. Pelicans game. Boston game. FVV, Sengun and KD need to go. We traded away the wrong player (Dillon).
By keeping it in-house, the rockets show maturity. But you're right – this is terrible leadership. But what if it's all just a publicity stunt?
Success is the best revenge. Just get better and prove KD wrong.
KD neden bir lider olamaz yanıtı met geldi, ego sorunlu, dedikoducu, başarısızlık bahanelerini başkalarına yükleyen bir kaypak. Brooks varken takımın ruhu vardı fvv takımın abisi pozisyonunda KD ile uğraşamaz, takım da bir sorun vardı bariz ve bu olaydan sonra nasıl bir takım olunabilir yazık oldu housten bir yıl daha ve para kaybetti, geçen seneki ruhu geri istiyorum… Geçen sene mücadele ve birliktelik vardı, tüm kimyayı bozdu.
Jackson, I want to say again that I really respect your perspective. That’s why we follow you closely and with a lot of respect. You don’t fall into the typical American hedonism or shallow takes.
In the Durant situation, there are two key points people are missing. First, this created a level of national attention that will directly push more spotlight onto Alperen and Jabari, those lights are going to turn back on them. Second, KD comes across as completely merciless, emotionally disconnected from life, and stuck with a kind of teenage-level maturity.
Houston, we have a problem!
KD has played well, but he hasn’t made our team better. Last seasons team had an identity and good chemistry. This team has bad chemistry and no identity. The loss of Brooks has proven to be huge.
I’ve decided that you’ve been instructed by the Rockets management on what you’re allowed to talk about. I get that nobody wants chaos, but don’t make it this obvious.
