Helps our front office but a very costly indiscretion. Can't belie he isn't on the second or third team.

when i first followed him on IG and saw the types of stories he'd post, then he started showing off a gold rack of teeth, and saw the types of people he was following on IG and also had around him, I said to myself if someone in the Grizz organization doesn't step in and help this kid he's going to torpedo his career. Hopefully the events of the past 6 months are a wakeup call for him.

And the changes that the organization are making about attitude and trash talk need to include T Morant's sideline tickets being taken away.

Guys like MJ, Kobe and Lebron all understood from an early age the importance of image and brand awareness. Ja and Daddy T don't seem to get it yet.

That wouldn't be the smartest move if you plan keeping your star player long term.

Education cost money. Hope it was worth it!

Not that this makes anything ok that Ja did ok...but I'm not sure why people think Kobe was a smart feller who stayed out of trouble---- young Kobe (24 yrs) got in big big trouble:
rape accusations and subsequent public confessions of adultery...messy stuff and he had been playing in the nba since he was 18

Bryant, 24 at the time, was charged with one count of felony assault. It took 14 months for the criminal case to be resolved. The accuser decided she would not testify, and prosecutors dropped the case Sept. 1, 2004. A civil suit brought by the accuser in August 2004 was settled out of court on March 2, 2005, marking the end of an often-graphic legal saga that drew worldwide attention but never resulted in a trial.

Sometimes moments like this make people realize what they have to lose. That 39 million dollars is a hit even to a billionaire

Ja should run for political office.
