What happens now? Contract violation, release?

I'm thinking PED's are x1000 more significant than cannabis.

Cut this man. We need a 3rd string PF.

[MrDollarBills]

This is some bull ****. We need another body in here ASAP.

It depends, he may have ingested something that he wasn't aware of. It happens...it's VERY irresponsible, but it happens.

Like for instance, MLB had to send a warning out to the players that they need to stop taking those cock pills that are sold over the counter at gas stations because they contain a substance that will get flagged on drug tests.

Golden Tate from the Giants got suspended 4 games for PED use because he took a fertility drug that contained a chemical that was a banned substance.

So we don't know what Chandler may have taken to get popped.

Frank Isola is reporting that Kyrie and KD want us to sign Melo. Kenny and Sean has already seen him work out.

As I've stated, as long as Melo does what Atkinson wants him to do and is not a disruption I have no problems bringing him in. But he will need to check his ego at the door.

I'm quite certain Melo still sees himself as a starter, rather than instant offense off the bench. And I think it's a bit problematic to have both Kyrie and Melo in the starting unit, the defense would suffer quite a bit.

What makes you think so? IIRC he's gone on the record a couple times the past year that he's come to accept being a backup.

That said, I don't know how happy he'd be as a 3rd stringer. I'm guessing most of his minutes would probably be in practice, and he doesn't really seem like the 'veteran presence' type.

I have nothing against him joining the team and working out successfully, but it doesn't seem like the best fit, and may cause the Nets some troubles down the road. I guess his best fit would be for a team that needed an instant offense / iso scorer as a backup. A 7th-man type, or so.

Having ipamorelin on the list is BS. It is a amino acid peptide not a drug. Basically it triggers your hypothalamus to produce HGH naturally it is not exogenous hgh.

it doesnt matter if it should be on the list or not...

Melo has never been a distraction or a bad teammate where has this narrative come from?

Suspension details:

The 25-game suspension will cost Wilson Chandler $23,316 per game and a total of $582,898. The Brooklyn forward will start the regular season on the active list and moved to the suspension list after the 5th game (Nov. 1 vs. Houston) of the regular season. The Nets with 15 guaranteed contracts can add a 16th player after the game against the Rockets. Brooklyn plays the following night (Nov. 2) at Detroit. Chandler will be removed off the suspension list for the Dec. 15 game vs. Philadelphia. Chandler can participate during training camp and play in the Nets pre-season games.

Cut him immedietely

Kyrie Irving and Carmelo Anthony are "pushing" the Brooklyn Nets to sign Carmelo Anthony, according to a source that spoke with Frank Isola of The Athletic.

From Netsdaily

Bobby Marks says the suspension will begin after the Nets fifth game, November 1, after which the Nets can add a 16th player for the next 25 games ending December 15. At that point, the Nets will have to waive a player to get back to 15. That player could be Chandler or the player they sign or another player.

Marks also reports the Nets will get a $291,000 luxury tax credit. Brooklyn was well under —$6.4 million—the tax threshold before the suspension.

So they can get another player while Chandler is out it seems. I'm confused about if they sign a player if it's for the rest of the season and we get to keep that player or if it'd be a make a pick between Chandler and whoever they sign. Maybe they don't sign anyone but I doubt it Dante Cunningham would be a good choice imo.
