[Lewenberg] VanVleet on Barnes: “You guys are waiting for him to hatch into some beautiful butterfly but that’s up to him. His development is totally up to him… It’s our job to try to support him in that… When he plays great we’re happy for him and when he plays bad we’re there for him”

Not a good statement for a leader. Lowry would’ve said he’s a butterfly. Maybe the beef between FVV and Scottie is real after all.
More FVV on Scottie: “I’m gonna be there for him when he plays like shit and you guys write all your articles and talk about him, I’ll still be there to put my arm around him. And when he plays good I’ll try to find ways to help him play better.”
Ppl in here were convinced they were beefing lol. Very dramatic sub.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Always puts a negative spin on things when he talks about Scottie. Why bring up his bad games at all?
I’m quite annoyed at players getting upset at fans. Does Fred think that raptor fans are unique?
Edit please trade fred to the knicks and watch him get torn apart by Knicks fans.
Weird statement after Barnes had such an amazing game. Why even bring up when he plays bad? Like buddy, he just had back to back great games. Focus on that. Instead of media or fan narratives about when Scottie plays poorly. Idk.
> There’s gonna be ups and downs, there’s gonna be challenges, but the magic is in making it through that and persevering and fighting through adversity, and he’s done that. Again, I’m gonna be there for him when he plays like shit and you guys write all your articles and talk about him, I’ll still be there to put my arm around him. And when he plays good I’ll try to find ways to help him play better. He’s such a competitor and wants to win.
When it’s good it’s great, and when it’s not, not so much. But we’ve all been through it and nobody’s perfect.”
But people were telling me Vanvleet was jealous of Barnes and has beef with him? And he wasn’t passing to Scottie on purpose because he didn’t like him?
This is an amazingly positive quote, I’m so confused how everyone in this thread is saying it’s negative. You think everyone including Scottie doesn’t know he’s had a bad year?? Fred even says Scottie had a great game tonight.
Weird choice of words. Has a slight jab feel to it. Passive aggressive. I think it could have been worded better. To players, the #1 enemy is the media, so you don’t want to feed their punchlines with things like “plays like shit”. Just my take.. who knows really!
Not really sure how to take this quote. Could be nothing and just bad wording. Could be a sign of conflict in the locker room. Who knows
Emo Fred strikes again
Comment seems fine. People in here just baby Scottie non stop it’s pretty annoying.
I can’t tell… if this sub lacks reading comprehension… or is just incredibly overly-sensitive?
