"NBA Twitter reacts to Gabe Vincent signing with Lakers: ‘LeBron has a superteam"

After a strong start, Vincent's proficiency tailed off in the last couple of playoff games versus Denver but playing with LeBron and AD should get him far more good looks than with Miami.

Adrame Diongue: "Your timing is your timing. Trust that!! #committed"

Steve Franklin: "Ryen Russillo confirms on The Bill Simmons Podcast that Cam Whitmore fell in the NBA draft due to #Villanova coach Kyle Neptune. 

Neptune “didn’t talk him up” and spoke poorly about him to GMs.

This is despicable. Kyle Neptune needs to be fired immediately"

Do read the variety of comments that follow the tweet. A coach will certainly talk up one of his players if it is accurate and deserved. Or decline to do so if not, which will say a lot by itself. Speaking poorly is obviously a choice but not a classy or best one.
