I think the story of this team has to include a Rock Bottom

It honestly feels like none of these players care anymore. They all completed their goal and then quit.

Royce got paid and almost immediately quit. After he signed on the dotted line he immediately went to s***.

As soon as Rudy realized he was gonna be an all star he stopped playing defense.

As soon as Donovan realized he was gonna be an all star he started laying eggs.

Joe got paid in the summer and hasn't had the same intensity on the court this season.

They're all content.

The Joe extension seems so weird when it happened, but isn't looking so great because his defense has really slipped (or he isn't trying).

Quick story from real life... my 12 year old son wanted an iPhone. Been begging for years. He is a B student... I told him get all A's and this summer he gets an iPhone. He busts his butt like I've never seen for a month... all his grades are great... he's absolutely on track. He cries to his mom while I'm at work... she gets a new phone and gives him the old one... guess what happened next... that's right he has a couple Cs right now and his most recent test scores are poor and doing homework is now pulling teeth again.

To me Joe's never quite been the same since his son was diagnosed with autism last season. He's shown flashes and had a few streaks of great play but he hasn't been able to consistently play at a high level and he just doesn't play with the same edge and chippiness he used to. Where's the guy that shut down Redick in the Clippers series and was completely in Paul Georges head in the OKC series? It's almost like he's lost his passion for the game.

Dude was scorching in December and January... then something happened and we can't blame any particular person... it wasn't their fault.
 
Royce O'neale is the case that bothers me the most. He instantly changed after getting paid. I mean his performance is night and day. I'm starting to think Quin should bench his a** completely.

I've always thought he was vastly overrated but damn he is borderline G league now.
