[Shams Charania] Development: The Clippers sent home two players – Bones Hyland and PJ Tucker – from road trip vs. Warriors tonight, sources say. Both are expected to rejoin the team after the All-Star break.

This hasn’t been a great 48 hrs for the team lol
I don’t understand why we didn’t just deal Bones for a 2nd rounder or something. PJ I understand as his contract makes him tough to trade but Bones surely could have been freed somewhere? We’re just doing both him and us a disservice by keeping him around.
It seems weird to send back 2 players on the road that didn’t play for such a long time. I feel if they had no plans to play them they could hit dnp like they have been doing or they wouldn’t travel with team
TRANSLATION: “We tried to trade Hyland and Tucker at the deadline but it didn’t work so now they’re a little salty about still being on the team. So we’re gonna let them go home early to get their minds right.”
Why is it so difficult for these guys to buy into a run at a championship?
I liked bones, bad timing to be on this team with the addition of James. I get it. Sitting on the bench, getting zero playing time and your $ value going down daily so that when you do become a FA, teams won’t want to pay you. I would try to learn as much from Russ and James, bulk up a bit if I were Bones. PJ, well…. just get paid and stay ready in case.
I don’t think Bones should be lumped in with Tucker, an almost-39-year-old who continually whines publicly about wanting off the team because he has a deluded perception of his abilities. That doesn’t set a good example for the rest of the team.
I guess the team isn’t confident they’ll be up enough for garbage time and/or Ty is fine playing Mann then which is kinda absurd imo.
so much for the vibes😂😂
Bones shoulda just asked for his release. He’d be better off somewhere that would give him a chance.
Hot take, but If they wanted playing time they should try being better at basketball. Just a thought.
Team went from 1 seed to a fucking mess in record time lmao
PJ Tucker can leave whenever he wants. He refuses to accept a buyout so what the hell does he expect. Ain’t no one trading for him on 11m a year including next year.
There is no way to spin heathly players being sent home when there’s games to play. They both want out and it’s probably becoming cancerous and a problem to the team. Dangerous times here for the team. Kawhi injured, two players being sent home, PG upset about his contract extension, etc. Sheesh!
Seems like a good decision, I see no reason to overreact here.
