I just know there's two sides to every story. Besides that I couldn't care less about his outside life as long as it does t hurt his career.

I think that’s totally reasonable….******** on his parents is blindly believing one side.

Yeah I’m not going to **** on a family for being upset if they think their son/brother are groomed. Yall realize they aren’t attacking him, they are attacking the woman they believed groomed their son. It’s not weird at all to be upset at someone for grooming a loved one. This ain’t about if Flip is a good player it’s about if he was a victim.

Flip is innocent either way, the two sides are his family and his gf. It’s ok to be neutral, we don’t know all the details, but I think it’s actually weird AF to jump to the defense of this woman and **** ok his family. Grooming isn’t when someone younger has a preference for someone older, it’s much more serious that.

Yeah pretty standard to resolve this via Twitter. Hard to argue that. Thanks.

Going on Twitter to attack his girlfriend on the biggest day of his life is weird and I wouldn’t talk to them either. Nobody is jumping to the defense of the woman at all. You are arguing about something that was never said. Par for the course.

My experience with this... when it happens the person cuts off all contact with the family and friends and desperation can set in. But yeah... its one of those things where the harder the family pushes the worse it all gets... if it is an issue and this woman really is this devious this type of behavior feeds her purpose. Its a bad move and will divide them all further.

It helps Filip’s case if anything. His family didn't help themselves at all with the way they are bring out the story and making accusations. Now Kyle can basically go out and say all he did was running away from a toxic family.

The stories came out and they clarified. If he was indeed groomed and manipulated, this is not a weird response at all. If my family member was the victim of grooming and his career was suffering for it I would 100% want people to know the real story. You're assuming the parents have bad intentions, it's only bad intentions if he is not a victim. That is taking the woman's side. It is not neutral.

lol “100% want people to know the real story” and “the best day of his life, via social media” are very different things.

You ****ing with us right now? Is this a bit? You can’t be this obtuse. Right?

I can't even comprehend what you're getting at with the first point.

Bottom line is, if you're assuming the parents are malicious....you are defending this woman. It is not a neutral stance.

What? The parents/siblings could be 100% right, that is not the point at all. Don’t do this **** on social media on draft day of the biggest day of his life. It’s literally that simple.

If they could right, then don't assume they have malicious intent. Too each their own, but if my family member was groomed I would have something to say about it when it comes out it. This was prompted by Givony's podcast appearance.

no. I had the most ridiculous interaction with him in all of my time on jazzfanz, then promptly put him on ignore.

You pretended to be a stats expert and invented a statistical process that made it OK for you to have no rationale but also disqualified me from using rationale.

It's in the thread for everyone to see. Ridiculous indeed.

lakers won't play ball. rich pau is threatening teams that if they take him, he'll go play in australia. i still say some team should take one for the team and make him to go australia.

This. Surely some team has more picks than they need. Could set one on fire just for ***** and gigs.
