Lets not be naive here, if he were dropped and got a plea deal that kept him out of prison, this board would have him penciled into the starting lineup before he even leaves county lockup.


We had Jason Kidd.


We traded for Rose in the middle of a sexual assault trial


didn't IT go through some sht here to or was that after he left?

i'm not so sure, we had jason kidd but times have changed since then, and I am of the belief that more people are not as accepting now as they were back then, especially with the news so fresh. would i be surprised if i saw some posts on this board that would want him? no, and you probably have a better pulse on this board, so you may be right, but it would be extremely disappointing to say the least. i would not expect him to play for the hornets this year

Like GONYK pointed out we traded for Rose in the middle of a sexual assault trial :lol:


Is it really a different time? Deshaun Watson is the Wilt Chamberlain of sexual assault claims, and look a the the money he got. You have talent, you reach a plea deal and you start your redemption tour.

You have more faith in sports fans, Knicks fans and people than I do, cause I know people on here would be trying to get Bridges on a MLE, because he'd be on a value contract at that point.

going cross sport here, which i assume you would have heard/know about since i see the giants tag but ray rice never played again after that heinous video dropped, greg hardy played 1 season with the cowboys until the pictures of his abused girlfriend dropped and he did not play a single season after that and these are both better players than miles bridges

it's just sad

It shouldn't be like that

But it is

I mean hell, Karl Malone is a full on child rapist and the NCAA named an award after him in 2015.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

That's the NFL, outside of QB those guys can be replaced easier than NBA players, this is a 20ppg guy who is 24 years old. Jaxson Hayes just got a plea deal over domestic charges with his girlfriend, the Pelicans fans have already moved on from it. The pictures are bad, but at the end of the day, if he reaches some kind of plea deal that doesn't involve prison someone is going to sign him.

The only thing that will stop his career is if he goes to prison, somebody will take a chance on him if not, which is why the Hornets haven't pulled the QO. If the same situation happened here with Mitch, they would have waited to see what happens before moving on.

premier pass rushers aren't as easily replaceable as 20ppg scorers on losing teams, jerami grant was the 4th option on the nuggets, yet you give him the opportunity and the ball and he's putting up 20 on the pistons. anfernee simons becomes a 20ppg scorer halfway through the season cause they give him minutes. someone has to score on these trash teams

All these organizations are trash, you don't get to be a billionaire by being a nice guy.

29 other teams would be doing exactly the same thing with Bridges, approach it from a business viewpoint and he's an asset that someone is going to try to rehab.

yes but sometimes no, the ravens chose to cut ray rice after the video dropped. the panthers jerry richardson is a trash human being, yet even he chose not to resign greg hardy, saying "we do the right things around here"

Iron Mantis wrote:True story. A Knicks PF receives the ball out near the 3pt line and a 6'-4" defender is switched on to him. One scenario: two different results.

1. Knick's PF automatically switches into tunnel vision "I must shoot this ball no matter WHAT because mismatch!". The smaller guy is a good defender and holds his ground....Knicks PF is hell-bent on trying to dribble past the defender and turns it over.....or tries to back him down, fails, and forces & bricks a contested long 2 with one or two defenders in his face... or realizes he can't get a comfortable shot after completely running down the shot clock and finally passes it with 3 seconds left: shot clock violation or bailout air ball.

2. In the same situation, a different Knicks PF, aware of his limitations, simply passes the ball with no hesitation and looks to move without the ball towards the paint for a quick score...or passes it and the ball quickly finds its way to a guard that has a big switched on to him. Guard torches the big and scores easily, or collapses the defense, resulting in a Knicks high percentage shot in the paint or wide open 3 ball and the Knicks score.

The same scenario plays out multiple times during the course of the game....

Who is PF in outcome #1 and who is PF in outcome #2?


You're ignoring the other scernario where PF #2 passes the ball, moves, goes to post, receives the ball posting up the 6'4" guard and get bodied out of position and balance.
And no, I don't mean Porzingis.

Obi is decent, but he has his flaws.

Don’t understand why he has to preface his statement with, “I feel like I’m gonna throw up in my mouth”. The hate and bias is implicit.
