Shots fired. I?ve sort of lost respect for him

?I don?t think you?ll ever hear someone say they were excited to be traded to New Orleans.? 😅

I hope him and the Knicks set a record for most loses in a season for the remainder of his career

Did he think that would go well?

Dang my Nola people don’t be mad at me cause I said I wasn’t excited to get traded to Nola. Once I got there yall showed me love and I loved my time there. It’s all love lol

It was a dumb statement to be honest. I don’t think he meant anything by it but there are some things you just shouldn’t say.

This is why I made it clear in this board that small market teams should do everything they can to hold on to all-star talent, and make it work. Especially when they want to stay.

Anthony Davis did not want to stay. Chris Paul did not want to stay.

Who cares? Is this really worth talking about?

Well considering he was very likable when he was here and then he says this. Yes.

He said he wasn't excited to get traded here. Never said he didn't like it here once he got here. He probably could have kept it to himself but if we're being honest he's speaking the truth. How would any of you feel as a young wealthy man that has never lived in Nola being shipped here from LA? Be honest.

Actually he did say that. When Trey was on his podcast he said he though that Josh didn't like him and they weren't friends, and it was revealed Josh had a bad attitude and didn't want to be here. Josh Hart gets no more love in Nola.

That makes sense. It could have also been a hit on management.

He was just kissing up to Lil Wayne like a little fan boy.

Can’t be any worse than Oklahoma City or San Antonio

Can't argue with that. You can add Memphis and Charlotte as well.

I took that as more of a management issue than not liking the city.

I do think he meant that he wasn't excited prior to the trade and he just put it a bad way.

He's clearly talking about Brandon Ingram and why it was a bit foolish of the few who wanted to trade him for scrubs. I agree with him and also thank you for emphasizing the point. :*

Yes he’s dead to me.

I don't think it's anything to take personal boss. He's just providing insight as to how small market teams are perceived among players. What matters is he was a professional while he was here. That's about all you can ask for really. Some guys get traded to places they don't want to be and become a problem in the locker room, or their numbers dip because they start half as*ing it.

Hart and Naw will always be on my good side. After they paid for tickets to go to that game after they were traded we will always be on good terms.

How do we know that? Apparently there are hints he was not liked by everyone in the lockerroom.

Exactly. He still should have never said it though. Sometimes it’s best not to punch down on people that supported you and appreciated your time here. I’m sure he realized it was dumb now.

We know because everywhere Josh goes he's liked in the lockerroom, and among fans.

I agree, it would have been best left unsaid.

We know that Trey Murphy said he and Hart weren't friends when he played for the Pelicans and Hart admitted it was because he had a bad attitude and he didn't want to be here.

This comment makes absolutely no sense. You have any idea what Bron does to teams? It doesn't matter if you're likeable if you're on his team.

Some exchanges are totally unnecessary. This is one of them. If you had any clue as to what was happening with the Lakers when Bron joined, you wouldn't have responded to me with that comment. Everyone here knows what happens to teams when Bron joins. I shouldn't have to explain this. I've seen enough posts from you to know that you know better. Why wouldn't you throw in Josh to get Anthony freakin Davis??? Think about what you're saying lol..
