Apparently Markelle Fultz Would Like A Move To A New Team For A "Fresh Start". What An Idiot
The Athletic – Double-pumps before taking a shot.? Strange? spasms when tying his? shoes. Odd? rituals? before setting? up for? a free?? throw. Over the past few weeks, the saga of Philadelphia’s troubled Markelle Fultz has gone from strange to bizarre, stoking questions about what lies at the root of the 2017 No. 1 overall-pick’s continued struggles.
In addition to a previously diagnosed right shoulder injury that continues to impact him, Fultz has been playing with an apparent injury in his right wrist area that has adversely affected his ability to shoot, league sources told The Athletic…
…Sources with knowledge of Fultz’s thinking have also told The Athletic that the player would prefer a fresh start with a new team.
Alright so it’s the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving so I’m going to keep this one relatively quick. But if what these sources are telling The Athletic are true, Markelle Fultz’s brain may be even more busted than we have previously imagined. Here’s the thing–nobody else in the world wants to see Markelle Fultz succeed more than the city of Philadelphia does. This city is really the only people who have the kid’s back. His friends, his family, his shooting coach, his attorney, his agent. Everybody is giving this kid horrible advice and everybody is pushing him in multiple directions. The only people who have had his back through this entire ordeal are the Sixers fans who just want to see him play up to his potential. They cheer him all. They support him. Sometimes we even coddle and baby the kid a little too much but it’s only because we care. And now this kid would prefer a fresh start with a new team?
It doesn’t get more bitch made than that. Markelle Fultz is in for a ruuuuude rude awakening if he ends up on another team playing for another fan base. Sixers fans are patient. They sat through the entire Process just to get to where we are today. The Sixers fans are the only fan base in the world who have the patience to put up with Markelle’s shit. The moment he gets to another team, the target is already on his back. And if he still shoots his free throws like a glitch in 2K? He’s done for.
It sucks but the kid is just a bitch at heart. And no shooting coach can fix heart. Nothing can fix heart. It’s just who you are deep down inside as a man. And Markelle Fultz just isn’t cut out for this life. The really sucky part of this whole thing is I can’t imagine he has much trade value so he’s better off just wasting away on the bench for the Sixers. TJ is a better option anyway.
But yeah. Bryan Colangelo better never step foot in Philadelphia again for bringing this kid here. What a colossal failure.
