On the Fan, they just brought up Bones and how IF he was going to get a ring for his being on the team last year, he should have received it last night. Apparently he was interviewed and he said he doesn't expect to receive one. What? I thought there were "rules" about things like this. Is it really an optional choice, and if so, who decides? The Fan guys, including Stink, feel he should absolutely get a ring being he played 42 games for the team. Obviously, I feel he should get a ring. Texters to the Fan overwhelmingly say "f**k him!". I have the feeling that will be the opinion here as well, but I would be disappointed if I'm correct.
(I haven't read all the posts today, so maybe this has been covered)

there are no rules.
you get a ring if the FO/ownership feel like you deserve one.

(I haven't read all the posts today, so maybe this has been covered) The reason he won’t get a ring is he asked to be traded midseason. He also left the team during a game, and was made to fly commercial after missing a team flight. This, all according to what I heard on DNVR podcast. Apparently, players who walk out on their team or ask to be traded forfeit a ring if that team goes on to win a championship. I can kind of see the logic. Why reward somebody for their disloyalty? But I can see the other side of argument too.

The FO/ownership has become increasingly pety in a way. Refusing to trade with Minny because TC left? Refusing to give Bones a ring because he forced a trade?
I personally think everyone that contributed on the court wearing a nuggets jersey in a title winning season should get a ring. Just a way to respect the game and the road to a title.

There aren't specific rules for getting a ring. Teams usually ask every player who played for them during the year if they want them, but not always. Sometimes a player turns one down (Torrey Craig turned down a Bucks ring when he played for the Suns in the finals against the Bucks) and sometimes the team decides a guy doesn't deserve one (like Bones asking to be traded and sulking and such.)

Scott Hastings just covered this on the radio.
He said he heard Davon Reed got a ring, and pretty much implied that walking out of two games and having big blow ups with team mates is why Bones isn't getting one.
He also said that Bones came over to the commentary table to give Katy a hug last night but wouldn't even make eye contact with him or Marlowe.
Called Bones a "turd" live on the air.

Simple too me , if you not on the roster during the playoffs u don't get one Technically CG wasn't on the playoff roster and he got one, they'll almost definitely give Jack White one, and Hasting just said on the radio 5 minutes ago that he heard Davon Reed got one. They're making a specific point out of not giving one to Bones.

Bridges burned, and I don’t mean Miles! 😂

Bones didn't deserve a ring. Why the f**k would you give him one? Hey, lets reward this guy who contributed nothing on the floor last year and also created drama multiple times, talked poorly about the organization after the trade, etc. If Bones got a ring I would have been pissed. He did nothing to earn it.

PWat, Braun, Tyson, Gillespie, etc. have the excuse of similar youth, but you don't see them walking out on the team. He was 22 years old when this all went down, not 15. When you're 22, you have to own it when you make that kind of mistake. There's no indication he ever acted like quitting on the team was wrong. There's no indication he ever tried to take responsibility. He talked about it after the fact like he deserved things he hadn't earned. Kid doesn't get it.

none of that is necessarily untrue.
but calling Bones a "turd" on air for the crime of not saying hello to you is no less unprofessional and bush league. let's see if Hastings sets an example to Bones and apologies for his childish behaviour.

He didn't call him a turd for the hello snub, he used the word turd in a comparison with Davon. Basically he said team guys get rings and turds don't.

He's a daytime sports talk radio host. As long as he's not spewing bigotry on air he's above par as far as professionalism in that business.
