How quickly things change.  From untouchable in the Siakam trade to pick #44 in less than 1 year.

Not that anyone will be surprised about this, I peaked at a Rockets message board and they LOVE this trade, and couldn't believe they got AJ for the 44th pick.     Nice job, FO

Dealt with family issues, mental problems, some locker room troubles with a particular player so I hear, health issues, but most importantly never fit Quin and his system. Was good under Nate but terr

No second round pick is going to help them compete for a playoff spot. I'm not sure their first round pick will.

Are we in another rebuild? If we are then embrace it and quit p*ssy footing around like we have a competitive team. Show me how we have improved this off season. We had the number one pick in the draft. I don't see it.

Who does this?

Dude I was talking about SL.. Wtf are you going on about? smh

It is a pick that most likely won't amount to anything for a player with proven talent who is going through off-the-court issues.  I like their end of it better too.  Nikola seems interesting at least but yeah they should be thrilled.

Who cares about SL. Things must be pretty bad when we are thinking about SL instead of the main team.

he balled out and then we got a new coach that didn't play him and other than that, we don't know. He was a stud his rookie year. Congrats on taking advantage of our clown parade of a front office. 

AJ fell off before Quinn was hired. He was having a ridiculously efficient rookie year, decided to cut his hair off mid season, and lost all his ability instantly.

If you look at his 3pt shot, it was remarkably consistent.  He had a rough February but every other month was between 36.4% and 53.5%.  (March and April were 41%).

Glad to have gotten ANYTHING for this clown. He transformed from a promising nba talent focused on crafting his skills to focusing on how to be a self righteous religious bigot. Good riddance!

Who he chooses to serve is his prerogative, I believe he just didn't fit what we needed after Nate was let go, hopefully he can find his way in the league.

Who doesn't need a 6ft6 wing that can shoot. What system doesn't that fit. 

It's more than just that, how well can you defend, what's you BBIQ in certain situations, how much of a liability are you on either side of the floor.People point to Trae and/or Luka along with other players for being piss poor on the defensive end, but they are above average to elite at other things. AJ  yes a good shooter, ok what else ?

What evidence do we have that AJ was lacking in these areas. I hate how these narratives pop up out of no where with no evidence  to prove it.

It was referenced in a few articles likes this one,

While I do agree that injuries and other other things didn't help as well. And maybe Quin could of done a bit more, who's to say. But whatever Quin wanted him to develop in , apparently he felt as if he wasn't a piece going forward. But again that's just my hypothesis. Sometimes it just takes a change to reach that potential.

I mean, was this dude really going to be the savior of this franchise?  He had his moments and I thought I saw promise but I never saw any growth past his first year.  What are we really missing?  

Quiet as it's kept, I questioned the love affair with him.  My issue is with the apparent misuse of an asset ... again.
