Preseason is done.

Get through this football weekend and the games begin to count on Tuesday.

This isn't me ripping Riley, as I hear this throughout other sports with other coaches, GMs, etc.

Something tells me if Butler does the same thing he does not get benched. Look at all the crap teams deal with when they have Kyrie....pretty sure he's never been benched/suspended
and not many worse for team culture than he is.

Waiters issue is he isn't going to start. Butler is a much better player and would never be asked to come off the bench so your point is pretty irrelevant.

Plus, let's face it, the better/more talented a player is, the more chances he gets and the more he gets away with.

It's probably not fair, but it is what it is. You don't win titles with a bunch of average/above average players who are just "good guys".

Look at some of the shit the Lakers went through with Kobe. If that's Devean George...he's gone on the first thing smokin'. lol

But IF Butler had a complaint about anything he is not getting suspended. anyone you can think of last few years who is worse for team culture than Kyrie? Ever suspended by his team?

your comment kind of makes my point, too. waiters is JAG at best. A bench player. coaches aren't gonna "prove a point" if their better players cause issues.

Whatever Waiters did had to be pretty bad. You know how many times Whiteside threw shots at the Heat in the media and wasn't suspended?
