Rick Barnes benched Chaz Lanier for not doing what he is “paid to do”

I totally agree with Rick. These players want to be "paid", well then ..... you can earn that pay or just sit and answer the world when it asks you why you got NIL but didn't play.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Rick gets paid to do what he is supposed to do.

Lose early in the Tournament.

NIL should be per game no play no pay

Did it lead to this?

Pope would never do something as petty as what Barnes did to publicly throw his player under the bus like that. Things like that can wreck a team.

Here's hoping! 🍻

Ky misses plenty of FTs if Pope used that strategy then half the players would not be playing.

Thse guys are all paid professionals now. 0 issue with this.

I could have used this line from Cal and Shaedon Sharpe.

Hopefully, Barnes gets sick of NIL and retires.

Cal didn't care what that kid was getting paid. He kept him on the bench the whole time. 🤣
