    it's not going fantastically of late.

    this actually impacts my thoughts on the trade deadline, tbh. if he's going to be meh, we might start thinking about plans that don't involve keeping much cap space free.

    What happened to this dude?
    He can’t even score over Bobby Portis now?
    Wow.

    really thought playing with luka and lebron would motivate him to finally find that next gear, but nope. he's been the same player he's always been

    no motor, no urgency, zero IQ, zero effort. he got his money from the suns and called it a day

    Sad too. Bobby Portis always has that look like he heard someone say something derogatory to him but can’t figure out who it came from.

    Unfortunately he just can't stay locked in.

    No fire and that’s not something that can be taught IMO.
