Stanley Johnson refuses to workout for Hornets


Nate Dogg

Recommended Posts

So he'll work out for the two teams picking between us and won't work out for us because he doesn't think he will fall that far? That doesn't make sense man

Because that's not what I said. I said just because he doesn't work out with us that doesn't mean he's automatically off our board.

I referenced Vonleh's situation as an example which was different from Stanley who obviously sees that he might not get an opportunity here with all our wings in tow already.

I think Vonleh didn't work out because he thought he would not fall that far. Johnson knows he will (since he worked out for the Heat) he just doesn't want to come here. So screw him.

I never understood this. Why burn a bridge? Hypothetically, what if Detroit and Miami decide to go a different direction?

Says a lot about him in my opinion. I don't think some of these players understand what competition means. He doesn't have to workout for us. It only made sense if he was going to go top 5 but the possibility of him going after 9th overall is likely. In my opinion he is scared of a challenge and we don't need players like that on our team. The greatest player ever is our team owner and Jordan was never scared of a challenge. So we shouldn't take players that are in my honest opinion. Don't get me wrong I like Stanley I hope he becomes a great player but it's just sad to hear things like this that's all.

The issue with us is that he's going to be stuck behind MKG, and perhaps after seeing how Vonleh was marginalised last season, he might not want to come to a team that is not going to start him and give him a lot of minutes?

I agree that he shouldn't burn bridges, but some players want to try and control where they go, and I'm not surprised if Johnson doesn't want to come here. And to be honest, I think our sights should be set on a SG like Hezonja or Booker, or a big like Turner or Cauley Stein.

    • Yeah well I was agaisnt Hurney coming back and then helping hire Rhule but it happened anyways. Tepper has made it so bad and it's still ongoing currently.   
    • Yeah, that "Me against the world" mentality can work....when you are right and know what you are doing. But if you don't know what you are doing and can't accept that you need to learn, that is an impossible hill to climb.  
    • I can’t argue too hard with established track records. Just hope because it has happened before.   I think it takes massive and embarrassing failure. It isn’t hard to conceptualize the general truism that success in one field does not guarantee success in another. I have had to experience that in my the hard way before, dealing with a self made millionaire friend.  Getting them to understand that is very difficult. I had to part ways to escape it 30 years later, he still hasn’t learned. But he isn’t my problem anymore….  Tepper cannot be excised so easily.
