If they're legitimately trying to bring him back, they need to hurry up and make it happen so the league can decide/impose potential punishment and get that process moving.

Hurrying up and making a decision goes against everything the Charlotte Hornets' front office stands for.

My thought is the league is going to manage the timing and what the league does will impact our options, but maybe it's the opposite.

With what cap space will the Lakers be signing him with? We'll match most offers but a team won't be maxing him anyway.

he's losing the vast majority of his salary to a suspension whenever he signs... if the Hornets aren't matching, would it shock anybody to see him take a min this season elsewhere, serve out his 30-40 game suspension, then play the final 5-10 games of the season+playoffs?

Not that the Lakers are trending in the playoff direction- I see a team like Miami taking that shot.

Pretty sure we would definitely match a low offer if he signed elsewhere as he is restricted.

Or are you suggesting if the Hornets don't match on moral grounds?

I'm not suggesting one way or the other on that, just saying in the event that Charlotte decides we want nothing to do with him, a cheap contract to a contender is something I can see

I doubt NBA suspends him until he is signed, which is probably one thing holding any movement back at the time.

Is this entire franchise just completely asleep at the wheel? Is anyone employed here actually doing their job in any capacity?

Does it make me a sad pathetic human being that initially I was stoked for this and then had to remember what he did.

As I thought

"The sooner sides can reach a deal, the sooner Bridges can seemingly start serving an NBA suspension expected to be handed down for his role in an offseason domestic violence case. Bridges plead no contest to a felony charge in November"

Did the Hornets dump this news because they hoped it would go unnoticed at Xmas? Or just random timing?

Woj also went onto say that Miles is going to get involved with domestic abuse programs in Charlotte. Which was basically a given.

I'm sure... or at least I would hope, that the Hornets have put all kinds of Clauses in his contract where he needs to do a minimum amount of stuff in the community.... in addition to all the court mandated stuff.
