Around the league 22/23

[KGdaBom]

Anybody know what's up with Miles Bridges. I know he's got domestic violence charges against him, but now he's listed as NA when I look at him in Yahoo fantasy basketball. I can't find any report of a suspension or dismissal, but the NA would indicate that.

He is in very serious legal trouble and is not likely to be clear of it anytime soon. I doubt the NBA let’s him play this year.

He's a 3rd/4th round talent that I got with my last pick and a $1 bid in an auction league. Anything can happen and IMO he's easily worth taking a flyer on in case he can play.

He strangled his wife to the point of unconsciousness in front of the kids. Also he broke her nose, gave her bruises on her face, arms, legs, and I think he injured a rib (pretty sure he broke it but I read it a while back.) He is being charged with 3 felonies including child abuse for both children who already told the police that they saw their father put their mother to sleep. She also claimed that this has been going on for a long time and probably has proof. Even if he somehow pleads out (not very likely,) the NBA will have to suspend him or risk losing sponsors. I very much doubt he plays a game this season.

Sickening. Obviously there’s innocent until proven guilty but if there’s any truth the hammer needs to fall hard.

I was not aware not PHO have multiple issues: first Crowder wants out, Ayton make some weird comments in Media Day, Sarver gets punished. It looks like two team from top of West Conference of last season, are entering new season with big concerns: UTA and PHO. You can also add LAL and Westbrook. Which will in theory creates good opportunity for MIN this season.

That's all alleged and could be true. I don't know he is guilty of anything for a fact at this time. My best guess is he doesn't play one second of NBA basketball this year. Last pick and $1 bid. I'll survive. However, just in case he does play I get a massive advantage on my opponents. As stated it's worth the risk.

In fantasy basketball I don't give a rat's ass if the player is not a high quality human being. If he plays I win. If he doesn't it's no loss.

You sir are of much higher moral character than me. Or are you a judgmental jerk convicting a person in your mind before he's had his day in court? However, if he were convicted and did his time and returned to the NBA I would consider it over and done with and have no ill will toward him. Does that make me a better person than you or a worse person than you? No real right answer to this.

I'm not better or worse than you. I just can't find enjoyment rooting for bad people.

And for me, if he's found guilty, jail doesn't absolve him of what he did. Or suddenly make him a good person.

So you are of the attitude once bad always bad and nobody should ever be forgiven.
Michael Vick was convicted of horrible crimes against animals and I would say most people considered him worse than a murderer. Once he did his time and came back I considered it over with. Others feel differently.

It depends. If he was writing bad checks, that's one thing. If he beat the crap out of his wife in front of his kids, that's irredeemable (assuming his life wasn't somehow threatened).

As someone that likes dogs more than most people, I could never root for Vick, and I would've easily boycotted the Vikings if they signed him post-prison.

I have to agree with BJM on this. No matter what he does with his life from here, he has harmed the kids in all this. Who knows what effect it will have on them. That makes his crimes (allegedly) someone I could never support.

Vick and Miles are worlds apart. Not even close.

So you are a vengeful person without forgiveness. Yes most people like most dogs more than most people. That's why Vick was considered worse than a murderer. People can't take back what they've done in the past. All they can do is move forward and do the best they can now and in the future.

First of all Miles has not been found guilty of anything. If he's guilty what's your solution. Execution. Take away his right to make a living at what he's good at? Make it so he's unable to support his kids. Hate him forever no matter how much he reforms. Whatever has happened can't unhappen. All anybody including you and I can do is the best we can from today forward.

By the way most people consider Vick worse. I take it you consider Miles if guilty to be worse.

If Miles is allowed to play NBA basketball this year I will happily accept every point, rebound, assist, steal, 3 and block he gets.

You got all that from "refusing to root for him"?

Miles Bridges case postponed for the 4th rime. I was hoping there would be some sort of resolution.

What kind of question is that? How in the world could one jump from "I can't root for him" to "I want him executed" or even "banned from basketball"?

Aren't you the guy who supposedly didn't watch the Vikings when Favre was their QB?

So being an ex-Packer is worse to you than beating the crap out of your wife in front of your kids or running a huge dog fighting ring?

You're getting way too into this. I'm just asking questions. They don't have to tie directly together. I'm looking at the whole world of what should happen when professional athletes behave badly. If Miles is guilty he won't be playing. Once he's playing since he won't be on the Wolves I won't give a rat's ass unless I have him on my fantasy team. Then I will give a rat's ass, but nothing more. Michael Vick did the time for his crime. To me once he did the time it was over. You have your right to never forgive that's up to you. I have my right to let bygone's be bygones. That's up to me. Favre as an athlete was my all time enemy, I despised him, but I caved and ended up watching him. You are of higher moral character than me. You would have held your grudge. I was a total wimp and gave in.
