Bennedict Mathurin Is Posting Emo Quotes On His Instagram, Which Means He's Probably About To Get Traded

This quote would be incredible if you're talking about some fierce world conquerer like Genghis Khan or Alexander The Great, but when you realize it's a malcontent 6th overall draft pick, it's some psycho shit. What are we doing? Athletes are so weird when it comes to posting online. This is some shit Giannis would post, then when asked about it in the media, go on some weird rant about it being taken out of context and what it means to be humble. 

Don't get me wrong, when I was 23 years old, I was immature too. I was even so emo at times that the Skyrizi jingle about Chron's disease - Nothing Is Everything would have sounded like a deep and meaningful tattoo idea. SO, I can't sit here and blame Ben Mathurin for not having a fully developed frontal lobe, and thinking this was a cool move when definitely wasn't. 

Mathurin has been out with a thumb injury, and from all accounts has been able to play, but hasn't been put back in the line up until today's weird 1:30pm tip off, but with the trade dead line looming it's all been weird. What does it mean?

Dude is about to get traded. For what? Hopefully the Pacers next starting center. Mathurin has been phenominal at times as a walking bucket, but his fit on the team has kind of been a square peg in a round hole. Ben is probably my favorite Pacer on this team for seemingly being a total DAWG, but if you aren't about to fit with Tyrese and cost the team a big bag of cash, it's time for the front office to use you for an absolute need. I'd be shocked if Mathurin is still a Pacer by the deadline.
