Yup.
This past season when the Cavs played the Hawks...He shot a half court shot in the middle of the second quarter and missed. John Collins just shook his head. I know it has to be real frustrating playing with him because he take shots like that..I wouldn't be surprised,that's the reason he had an issue with him.
Yeah I'd be ready to fuck that little shrimp up if I played with him.
I blame the media for saying he's the next Steph Curry...

Lakers' DAJ: KD, Kyrie 'bros. beyond basketball'
DeAndre Jordan said the trade from Brooklyn that ultimately landed him with the Lakers was something that worked for both sides, and his relationship with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant goes "beyond basketball."

When DeAndre Jordan signed with the Nets in 2019, he came as part of a package deal with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, as the two megastars both agreed to less-than-max contracts to preserve cap space so that Brooklyn could add the former All-Star center.
Two years into the four-year, $40 million deal he signed in Brooklyn, Jordan was traded to the Detroit Pistons and summarily waived, paving the way for him to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

As Jordan left one star-studded roster for another, the big man deadpanned that his relationship with the Nets' dynamic duo soured on his way out the door.
"We're definitely not friends anymore, so ..." Jordan said jokingly with a hearty laugh during his introductory video news conference Thursday.

He quickly assured the trio's friendship is still intact. It was his role with the Nets -- who came to rely on Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton at the 5 last season before signing LaMarcus Aldridge and Paul Millsap to add to their frontcourt rotation this summer -- that changed.
"We're friends before basketball, after basketball and I think ultimately we all just want to be happy," Jordan said. "And being able to compete is something that's very important to me and they understand that. And we're brothers beyond basketball, so us being teammates or not isn't going to reflect on or affect our relationship."
Jordan said his trade to Detroit, along with four second-round draft picks and $5.78 million, for Sekou Doumbouya and Jahlil Okafor, was the Nets organization working with him to help him find more opportunity. Jordan took a $4 million buyout from the Pistons and will earn the veteran's minimum of $2.6 million from the Lakers, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
"It was just both parties wanted to figure out something that was best for both of us," he said. "And I feel like they gave me that respect as a veteran player to be able to understand that I wanted to be able to compete. ... It just worked better for both of us."
He will join a Lakers team that has its own stockpile in the frontcourt in Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard and Marc Gasol.
Jordan, 33, is the latest 30-something former All-Star to join a Lakers squad that is already teeming with players of that ilk in LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Howard and Gasol.
While he doesn't have the preexisting personal ties to the Lakers group that he had with Durant and Irving, he has admired many members of the team from afar.
"Just to be able to be with a team like this with guys that you respect and guys that you've competed against for the past -- going into my 14th season has been great in seeing, 'I wonder what it would be like to play with this guy,'" Jordan shared. "And you always think about that, whether you tell people or not."
Jordan will return to L.A., where he spent the first 10 years of his career playing for the Clippers.
"Obviously, as you get older you start to see different things and honestly with the Clippers teams that we had, we had some bad luck," Jordan said. "On the team that I was on last year, we had a little bad luck with injuries and some small things like that. But you definitely don't want to take it for granted. ... I'm excited to be able to be here and jell with these guys and build chemistry and it's going to be a process but I think we're all ready and excited for it."
The bad thing is he's a pretty average shooter. At least show you're a good shooter before you try and go Steph
Both him and Luka are given the green light

Im trying tell Cavs fans but they won't listen....
THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I'LL EVER SAY I HOPE THEIR NOT LISTENING TO YOU. I WANT THIS BEIGE BITCH GONE BRUH.
Patty is a game changer. I think I stated that earlier. The whole Russell did it with less thing though is probably relevant for every superstar who doesn't really have to share the ball. Either way Russell will still give you serious numbers and draw a lot of attention. It should help the Lakers since he will be playing with older, higher IQ basketball players which makes a huge difference when going up against younger, more athletic teams.
People tend to forget that the Bulls entered every playoff series during the championship run without a single injury.
Trae actually scaled back and took less 3’s this past season, he took it to the basket more and go others invoked more.
