Kyyle23 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) I'm not defending Young but I'd be pissed if someone secretly recorded a conversation I had with them on anything. Completely pissed. To do it in the lockeroom and than have it leaked is even worse. In no way am I defending Young. Cheating scumbag and he'll get what he's deserved but Russell f***ed up royally too and should never have secretly recorded a conversation between two people in the lockeroom. That violates all code of the lockeroom. I can only imagine how everyone would be ripping LaRoche or Eaton if he had done something similar. I was watching an NFL show yesterday and every single player (black, white, defense, oline, etc)...this included hall of famer Jerome Bettis (plus Jeff Saturday and a few others) and they all absolutely ripped Russel and said if that happened in there lockeroom, things would have been much worse than the Lakers shunning him, but beyond that, you would never ever trust the player again (and that isn't just on the Lakers, no player will have that trust because it has been violated). Minor nitpick, but I believe it happened in the hotel room they were sharing, not the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) The NFL guys mean nothing to me. Greg Hardy got a second chance. Ray Rice, if his performance wasn't horrid, would have had another chance. Saying never trust some kid who just turned 20, made a mistake, but nothing criminal, is absurd. Players do worse things every day. Young has every right to be angry. If he recorded me, I would be angry. But if that's the worst thing anyone will ever do to you, you will have a really happy life. People need to let it go. Also, I want to be clear, I am not saying Russell is in the same league as Hardy or Ray Rice or worse, what I am saying is, in the lockeroom, what he did is perceived far worse than what those guys did (right / wrong / indifferent). I fully agree with you in the sense that what Russell did, while extremely immature and stupid, is not a big deal in the grand scheme. But if you secretly recorded your boss talking about something or your staff secretly recorded you, I'm going to guess we'd all be livid and you'd never trust said employee or person again (and you'd also never hire someone if you knew that was in there past).

Secretly recording someone violates trust and the fact that this was made public means every player he ever plays with is going to worry about that. He can learn from it, but he's going to have to be an insane teammate for a while before people forget it and if we are going to go after him, we should be buying low on him (and I'd still be fine with moving Rose for a combination of him and something else). I don't know if the Lakers would. Hell, maybe Lakers would buy on Niko + Dougie for him. Who knows how bad the Lakers want to move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Jimmy Butler is a star player in this league, very clearly. He isn't a superstar player, but he is one of the best two way players in the game today. He's also on a team-friendly contract given the upcoming salary cap increase. I think that makes him pretty close to untouchable to the Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really, but with the salary cap increasing and some teams going to have $40M - $50M available to spend in the 2017 off-season, he could get that from some team potentially.
