Uh Oh Manny Lying About King? (rampant speculation following King's "Opted?" Tweet)

[PIPO]

I don’t think you’re interpreting that right.

I think he’s saying it should say “required” instead of making seem like the decision was his to make. He’s not being subliminal here, IMO, since he’s tweeted at the beat writer.

 

[hoops156]

Did Manny really use the word "opted" to describe the process? Or, is this Manny Navarro's creation. I haven't listened to the interview, but it makes a difference.

this. I think its more about the tweet than the coach. we know Manny sucks but he still has the gift of gab

Yeah Manny shouldn't of lied but him forcing King to sit and give the reigns to TVD and Garcia is the first quality head Coaching move ive seen from Manny in a long time

Exactly.

 

[JHallCanes]

Those were Diaz’s words? Because I didn’t see where he said that. And it’s not fair to King to presume he’s taking a shot a Diaz.

You could be right

I still think it’s odd King chose to chime in like that though

 

[Fluffhead]

Has a player ever knocked a head coach the f out? Asking for myself.

Sprewell and PJ Carlesimo…

 

[JHallCanes]

Doesn’t this get a bit more odd considering there were some no so subtle hints on this board that maybe this situation wasn’t handled right?

Which Manny though?

 

[Canedude08]

Our fans are morons. There, I said it. Read the full transcript, Manny noted that they thought that it was possible for King to rehab, but they were all under the impression that surgery was the likely outcome. He "Opted" to have the surgery, once it became evident that rehab wasn't going to work. Nice job trying to stir up crap.

 

[TheEye]

So…King wanted to heal his injuries naturally and was forced into surgery? Is this what I'm reading?

 

[ddann]

When is Manny gonna be forced to “opt” out?

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

The tweet was at Manny Navarro not Manny Diaz. Yes MD sucks as a coach, but this ain’t it, guys.

No need to create a false narrative to fire him. That’s some seriously low class low mentality bullshilt. His performance speaks for itself and nothing else needs to be stirred up to have a rationale for firing him, especially something that isn’t true.

 

[Canes6292]

Manny never says that D'Eriq "opted" to get the surgery in the interview haha. This fan base is toxic man.

 

[dycane]

It does not serve King’s interests to misconstrue his tweet and try to amplify it in order to make the staph look bad. So stop.

 

[Gi0logy]

Lol wtf is wrong with you people?

 

[L A M P]

I'm sure a guy who rarely posts deleted his rare post, coincidentally. It couldn't have been due to him being a measured, mature young man who happened to be reactive in the moment & then regretted it. Preposterous.

No, it wasn't going to heal in time for the end of the season so he decided to get the surgery.

How do you know what King's interests are?

Sometimes you have to save a player from themselves….

Nobody is arguing that. While true, it can also be a coach saving himself. The two aren't mutually exclusive. I honestly believe it was both in this case.
