That saying racially insensitive things isn't tolerated... Intent doesn't matter if you say things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and you get punished for it anyways. That's how, you know, the world works. It's a racial slur. Intent or not, it's ridiculously inappropriate and he deserves his suspension. I have a co-worker who got written up in the military for calling one of his black cadets "boy" (which isn't even close to as bad as cotton picker IMO). No intent at all to be insensitive, but even if you don't mean to, you get punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it’s outchea. And if he doesn’t get suspended he’ll have what paul Mooney likes to to say He’s got the complexion for the protection. It’ll look worse if he doesn’t get suspended.

sdrawkcab321 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I’d take Tatum over Simmons or Mitchell long term. He’s gonna be the best of this rookie class by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum has all the potential and raw skill to be a top 5 2 way player. Simmons is already playing at a near pre-prime level and would be hard to argue that he isn't performing like a top ten player already. Even if he never improves his jumper(I doubt this very much), his size & athleticism along with his great vision and IQ will still allow him to perform at an elite offensive level. We don't harp on Giannis despite him having similar-worse numbers across the board. Defensive wise Simmons will be consistently good-great under Brown. Referencing his size & athleticism again. Simmons easily has the skill/potential to be a top 5(I'd argue 3) player in the league period. Saying Tatum will be far better than top 5(again my opinion, yours may differ) is effectively saying clear cut #1 with no discussion about #2 even touching him..

resilient part 2 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Effin dang it, one of my boys just finished playing a triple overtime Victory and now he's in the championship game in a AAU circuit. TBH I was hoping he would lose now I'm going to miss my Boston playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing against Simmons and I agree with a lot of that. He’s a star right now and will continue to be. I just thinks the ceiling is higher and more obtainable for Tatum.
