"Stanley Johnson is reportedly refusing to workout for the Hornets, who own the No. 9 selection in the 2015 NBA draft.
Johnson would reportedly prefer to go to the Pistons with the No. 8 selection, or to Miami at No. 10"

Well fug him.

Makes sense. We already have MKG, and those two are desperate for wings.

Also doesn't necessarily take him off the board. We drafted Vonleh but he never worked out with us because he didn't think he would fall to 9

So he'll work out for the two teams picking between us and won't work out for us because he doesn't think he will fall that far? That doesn't make sense man

[Zaximus]

I almost want to take him just because lol.

Because that's not what I said. I said just because he doesn't work out with us that doesn't mean he's automatically off our board.

I referenced Vonleh's situation as an example which was different from Stanley who obviously sees that he might not get an opportunity here with all our wings in tow already.

He can be our LaVine...

[IamSoClutch]

Damn i wanted him too. this sucks

I think Vonleh didn't work out because he thought he would not fall that far. Johnson knows he will (since he worked out for the Heat) he just doesn't want to come here. So screw him.

I never understood this. Why burn a bridge? Hypothetically, what if Detroit and Miami decide to go a different direction? 

[WOW!!]

Good....  I  didn't  want him anyway ...

Says a lot about him in my opinion. I don't think some of these players understand what competition means. He doesn't have to workout for us. It only made sense if he was going to go top 5 but the possibility of him going after 9th overall is likely. In my opinion he is scared of a challenge and we don't need players like that on our team. The greatest player ever is our team owner and Jordan was never scared of a challenge. So we shouldn't take players that are in my honest opinion. Don't get me wrong I like Stanley I hope he becomes a great player but it's just sad to hear things like this that's all.

Ha haw!

I hope he's there for The Heat. I think he's better than Booker and way less crazier than Hezonja.

"way less crazier" ... Sounds much better than your grammar as well ;)
