Key's Pouting

I really don`t want us to be the team who overpays Keyonte on his second contract if he has a good scoring season next year. I have a hard time seeing him being more than a scorer off the bench kind of guy and I don`t want us to have to give him a Quickley-type deal.
 
Key is a ****ing cry baby. Get as much as you can for him, because in a few years when we have a good team he'd bring us down in our quest for greatness.

He does seem expendable

Especially if we draft 2nd and take Harper. Collier and Harper would be a nice backcourt and Sexton can play combo. Collier and Sexton have solid attitudes - anyone who is a pouty b can get traded.
 
For the record, I think we put way too much into this body language stuff. Sexton is “intense” and Key is “pouting”. They both suck badly at defense and that’s what really matters. The problem I have with Key and what will hold him back in his career is his bad habits and ability on defense. You can’t smile your way into becoming a good defender.
 
I think the pouting and bad defense are connected.

Just hustling won't cure his ills, but the attitude is preventing him from improving.

And sure, this season has been **** for everyone involved, but the pouting is unchanged from all of last season.
 
I was in Boston this week and went to the Cetlics and Heat game. It was so much fun to watch basketball with teams who wanted to win. I cant imagine being a player on a team that does all it can to avoid winning. I would not trade Key for feeling out of it but I would trade him for other reasons.

Trade Key and the acquired 1st(s) this year to move up. **** him. Dude’s an inefficient chucker. This will be Flagg’s team and no way would he be cool with that. Get Flagg, another higher 1st by moving up. That pick, Collier and Flagg. Build around them. Everyone else is on the table.

He’s an ******* who doesn’t get it. Sorry, if you don’t care about playing defense, you don’t care about winning.

My point is that you can **** at defense with or without pouting. The Jazz have a long list of horrible defenders but they don't pout like Key. Don't get me wrong, I think Key's pouting is part of the problem and shows a poor mentality, but if he started doing angry faces and was locked in like Sexton he'd still suck at defense just like Sexton.
