I posted this in the clipper thread a couple weeks back. Some of the stuff lines up but i think this guy also just made some stuff up or at least exaggeratedwe need our insider HIM to weigh in
-Supposedly Lue never wanted to start Mann but the FO forced him to.
-Reggie got mad when he was taken out of the rotation.
-Wall was mad with his minutes.
-The FO forced Lue to bench Morris for those 2 games vs GSW and SAC during our losing streak. Morris was pissed and Lue was pissed that the FO was overstepping. We lost both games and Lue/Morris “proved” it wasn’t Morris’ fault.
-Some people and players were happy to see Wall leave. He rubbed people the wrong way.
-That Memphis game in LA when we came back, Lue played Morris as a **** You to the FO.
-Lue wanted Russ last year. Lue wanted to trade for Kyrie and was OK with including Mann. The FO did not want to trade Mann
-Zu did not want Russ
-Mann, Kawhi, PG all were in favor of bringing in Russ
- Lue and Lawrence Frank aren’t even on speaking terms anymore. One of them is likely leaving after the season (hopefully not Frank)
-FO signed RoCo to be the backup/smallball center because they know Lue likes to go small. Lue prioritizes offense, so RoCo and Batum lost minutes to Morris.
- as lawdog1 speculated, Morris is not sick. He threw a fit and doesn’t wanna play anymore. Lue lied about him being OK with it.
All speculation but this guy supposedly knows 3 ppl in/close to the org
