Watching a little summer league action today. Oladipo looks like he'll step right in. Trey Burke on the other hand appears to be a bit overwhelmed by the size/speed of guys at this level.

I mean it's pretty common for someone not to be in top shape when you know/think you won't be playing anytime soon. It's well known basketball isn't his love either... If be cared more about the game he could have been drafted real high. He's seemed real positive on twitter since this trade, and the 76ers are a lot more welcome to him than Rockets fans were when he was drafted. I hope he's motivated to work harder now and makes the best of his second chance. I understand people's hate towards him, but the media has made him out to be worse than he really is. The Rockets knew he had a disorder, and should have known they would have to deal it.
It's essentially like hiring someone in a wheelchair but not having a ramp for them to get into work.

If he loved basketball there wouldn't be an issue.

All he wanted was a plan in place for his and others safety because of his disorder. He also wanted them to talk to a medical expert for his situation, they didn't want to do that.
They shouldn't have expected his disorder to suddenly go away after he was drafted. He had zero problems at Iowa State, it's not hard to take care of him.

If flying is a part of your job duties I would think there would be an issue with it. He knew that going in. I'm guessing he signed a contract while knowing that...

If there's any "hate", it's likely a result of his own words on Twitter. He did not handle things well at all.

And the team knew of his issues going in also. They offered the contract while knowing that.

Flying wasn't the issue, so you obviously haven't been following the situation at all. He flew a few times at Iowa State when there wasn't time to drive.

To be fair, Dwight's coaching in Houston will be Olajuwan and McHale, two of the best five post players offensively of the past 30 years.

The guy has a disorder the rest of the league don't have. You'd think people hiring him would want to know what went with that and not assume he'll be just like everybody else.

If Lebron thought he was going to stay in Miami, he would be saying that. He's not. Lebron may very well stay in Miami but he's definitely considering his options at this point.
