Not sure if that's funny or being a poor teammate, or if selfish play by the other dude.

I think Derozan probably saw him and wanted to work for something higher percentage. I don’t think either is selfish. They both just wanted to win and both thought they had the better shot. Notice Monk celebrating as soon as the shot went through. He was happy as long as they got a bucket.

That's why I was unsure of all of it and how to feel about it. It's funny, but at the same time Monk shouldn't stomp, but also he does celebrate with Derozan after making a tough shot.

I'm not an NBA fan at all .... shocker to some .... but that was funny. Try that at the collegiate level, you're looking at a multi-game suspension if not sat for the remainder of the season. Glad he was able to have fun with it.

Yeah, you can't even look at someone on a bench without drawing a technical now.

That was funny and a good game . These days you have to cherish the good games because there are so many blowouts .


They have finally unleashed my boy! After all this time he’s finally starting and getting shots every game. Never could understand why they wanted to use him in a 6th man role where he only got a lot of shots here and there.

I understand it though . Monk has a game that can give you that spark off of the bench .

But he has expanded his game . Who would have thought that Monk would have a stretch of games where he averaged close to 8 assist

Yeah for sure but I always thought he had the capability to be a 20ppg scorer in the league. I hope this new coach continues to unlock his potential. Yeah he has gotten so much better. Imagine where the Lakers would be if they didn’t let LeBron run the team. Kept Ingram, Randle, and Monk.

I picked him up and dropped him early 😔.

My entire team as the INJ sign beside their name . I just went ahead and changed my team name to Red Cross lol
I made that same mistake too and definitely regret it. My team was hit with the injury bug really bad in late December-early January and Butler just came back after he got himself suspended for 7 games.

He was just making a joke. Saw nothing to indicate he was upset or “stomping” at all.

Yeah Butler is the worst player to have in a contract year. He acts like a baby to get traded every time.

To be fair I think LA wanted Monk back but he wanted to go to Sac I guess to play with Fox .

I’m just glad he is starting to shine and bounced back after being suspended for a year in Charlotte . Tyreke Evans and OJ Mayo never got a 2nd chance .

That Jimmy Butler situation is wild . It seems like him and his teammates like each other so that makes it even weirder .

When Riley told him to Shutup in the offseason I figured it might go the wrong way .

Why was he suspended for a year?
