A few days ago Murray posted bands of cash on his social media, and someone quote tweeted with something to the effect of “DJ going through it, remembered he’s rich, and thought ‘I’m going to see naked women’”. The other day his great grandmother passed and then shortly after he got into a little social media scuff with some random Spurs fans.
Kens 5 has something of a recap.
There are a couple of ways to absorb this. The first is to insta-react and boo the dude when he comes to San Antonio. Perhaps because I have a little grey in the beard, I am more ready to simply root for the dude and chalk up whatever he said to some thoughtless, emotionally-charged social media tweets. We’ve all had them.
The more concerning insinuation was that there is some ugly internal stuff within the Spurs organization and *that* is the thing that will prevent the Spurs from winning for the next 15 years. I don’t know about that — is that a reference to Brian Wright or the new organizational ownership structure? I cannot know.
Is it something of a reaction to seeing Keldon Johnson get cash, realizing he is in a new place with new coaches and a new situation while also losing a family member? Perhaps.
No one can truly know why and the way that athletes like to process that kind of stuff is by throwing themselves into their work. Basketball-wise, I am excited to see Trae Young and Dejounte work together. I don’t know that that squad is beating the Celtics, Bucks, or Heat but I like the way they fit.
Over here, there will be a lot of losing (grr) and we’ll get a taste of life with young talent that has a lot to learn.
