​@Shaikoh Warriors fan here. Yes, the Warriors are a lot like other teams. They will put up with all kinds of things to win. Their response to the Punch proves that. The signing of Anthony Lamb with little explanation is similar. Dub fans like to think that the team is a cut above, and it is in some ways. It's better run than many franchises, for instance. But when it gets to the bottom line, they still want to win and are willing to bend their principles to get there. I don't love that, but that's how it seems.

For perspective, Dillon is a 2nd round draft pick ,& has outperformed some 1st rounders in his draft class. He's aggressive, & despite not having a great shooting percentage, plays with a level of confidence needed to play with the big boys. That said....he must be careful not to think that he's "made it" yet. Attention can be a drug,& he's had plenty of it recently in a negative way. Hope he works in silence on his craft. While he's not a star by any means, he can add value to a team if he's focused.

I get your point bro it’s petty to wish ill on anyone finance wise. At the same time he’s made a cool 38.000.000$ over the past six years so eating shouldn’t get too problematic for him and his kin anytime soon and I’ll rather try reserving most of my sympathy for those in actual need. Not hating on your perspective as it’s coming from a good place just wanted to provide some perspective

There comes a time for most NBA players that a team decides you're not wort it anymore. They also tell their GM friends. Thread lightly bear poker.

[@FloydWhoElseTV]

Yeah I know you have no real friends or you don't know the definition of loyalty.

It shows how much power LeBron has.

[@fashionlife5348]

Lebron should thank him and if he has morals should advocate for him to get a job dude just challenge a legend it’s absolutely stupid to fire someone for that this is America not North Korea

[@divinebeauty2070]

​@@fashionlife5348Totally agree.

[@garyc3358]

There's a BIG difference in "Challenging a Legend# vs "Disrespecting a Legend"....Hopes he learns from this

[@TheBulaflipped]

​@@fashionlife5348 challenge??? If he has morals????

[@dpakj989]

I think it has more to do with him encouraging Ja's rubbish. Ja too valuable to give up, but I don't think they want Dillion encouraging him.

They was injured! Y’all soft. Healthy Grizzlies destroys the fakers easily. Gotta stop playing with all this smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ keep it trill. If the grizzlies healthy do they beat the lakers yes or no? Answer is yes!
