As spurs fans we should take it upon ourselves to egg him on.

Getting suspended when the team needs him most, goddamn moron. That behavior was totally “worth” it.
Then make a link to the actual post.
Have proof.
The point was made, though. The refs won't call a single foul on him in this next game.
I look forward to that in October. Atlanta is going home series losers after game 5.
I was trying to make a joke that they won't call a foul on him -- because he's not playing.
This is old but this isn't edited or just a deleted one? Seems edited. Anyways, he blew Banchero's already?
I think it's not so much that the Spurs had some extraordinary ability to keep Dejounte in check, but that cir stances didn't allow him to show his true self. Case in point, the Tony Parker situation in his rookie year. No one with an ounce of common sense would expect to be handed over the reins of a dynasty and taking over a legend in your rookie year, much less when he had ways to go before that. Yet it's clear now Dejounte always felt that way, to the point he took it as a sign of others "messing" with his head. He just kept it to himself, because his agent put him in his place by telling him "you have no trade value", so he had to (unwillingly) suck it up.
There's a sense of en lement deeply ingrained, in his mind everything revolves around him. He just cannot comprehend he's not the center of the Universe, that Tony Parker doesn't owe him to put his career in the back seat just to mentor him, that the Spurs didn't have him (and everyone else) earn his place for the pleasure of playing "mind games" with him, that Banchero doesn't have to bow down to him just because he's a rookie who happens to come from the same city, that Derrick White playing tight defense on him isn't cause to take offense. Oddly enough, what all those have in common is that, for one reason or another, they were especially close to Dejounte, yet it's on those closest to him he lashes out on the hardest.
I think it was coming out even as a Spur, the FO saw it coming and realized he wasn't qualified to lead a rebuilding process and the franchise shouldn't commit financially to him in the long term, and moved on while the price was high. Now he's Atlanta's problem and, fortunately, we can follow this saga from a distance, sitting on the couch, eating popcorn. Snyder being just signed for 5 years and Trae's situation makes them a very interesting story to follow.
haven’t watched much of the playoffs, but did anything happen between him and DWhite?
He sure showed that ref who was boss by, um....getting suspended.
Also, this is the kind of thing that will follow you. Refs are a union, they usually aren't going to do any favors for a player who is trying to intimidate or bully them. This reputation could stick with him for a while.
I am amazed by the lack of self-awareness by athletes sometimes.

Pretty low IQ move. First time he's been in the playoffs and handles it like this. Pretty poor stuff by Murray. When the team needs you the most, he goes and does the stupidest possible move and gets suspended for a win-or-go-home game. Brilliant stuff, Dejounte. I didn't want you traded or gone, but now that I've seen your true colours, glad the Spurs have moved on. I did really like him. I thought he was a better person than this and that he'd turned the corner with the time he spent with Spurs. I guess I was wrong.

This clown has the mental age of a 12 year old
Without the proper team and structure murrays immaturity is very apparent
Snyder was possibly thinking trade Trae Young and redirect the team but he’s probably wondering about Murray now too. Just speculating. Two problematic point guards. Pretty awesome for our draft picks.
i liked him too, but it goes to show that it really does matter what kind of people you surround yourself with.
dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres. (tell me who you are with and i'll tell you who you are)
It would be interesting if they tear things down and get draft picks from other teams. Then they wouldn't have to worry about tanking because they would only own other teams' picks and not their own.
Maybe they'd have better luck with other team's picks, because they've certainly made a hash of their own.
I felt like they had a good eye for talent, granted, outside the Luka/Trae debacle. Specifically, they find good quality role players, but they horribly built around the wrong star.
Bigger deal than DJM's feud.
There last few non Trae top 10s:
Okungwu
Hunter
Reddish
Those are worse than most of our NON top 10 picks over the past 7-8 years.
More to life then basketball
Just ask poop
Tell me with whom you walk, and to you I will tell who you are.
That's my three community-college spanish semesters translation verbatim of that maxim. First one I've ever heard tbh. It's a dang good one
Your translation is more word by word, than context based. I'd use "tell me who you hang out with, and I'll tell you who you are". Source: me, native Spanish speaker.
