Wow. That was fast.
As if you needed proof that China owns the NBA, here you go.
Enes Kanter Freedom’s time in the NBA might be over.
The former Boston Celtics center was traded Thursday to the Rockets, and he was then waived by the Rockets, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
There is a very high chance he never plays in the league again.
Remember when I said Freedom’s outspoken criticism of China and the CCP might cost him his career? Well, it looks like that’s exactly what has happened.
Kanter is 100% good enough to be a solid role player in the NBA. That’s just a fact, but his minutes were slashed by the Celtics as he exposed the horrific crimes of the dictatorship in Beijing, and he’s now been waived after being traded.
This guy is brave. He’s calling out China’s abuses despite the NBA making millions and millions over there. And now it’s cost him.
Paging Daryl Morey. Please call your office. If you might recall, Daryl Morey was the GM of the Houston Rockets when he tweeted out support of Hong Kong. The world collapsed on him. He instantly became the most hated man in basketball. Lebron James called him out for not understanding the complexities of the situation in China. What a tool.
Anyway, Morey is now the GM of the Philadelphia 76ers who just traded away their back up center Andre Drummond. They no longer have a backup center for their MVP candidate Joel Embid. Hmmmm. Enes Kanter Freedom is looking for a role. If Daryl Morey wants to go down in history as one of the bravest guys in the NBA, stand with Enes. Right now. He can be had for just about nothing. Do it!
