Lol poor Terry Rozier didn't even do anything wrong, apparently...

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that Terry Rozier has now been cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the federal probe. “Terry Rozier as of now has been cleared. He finished the season with Miami, there’s nothing really active as of right now with him,” Charania said.

Thoughts on what Presti said about the league and it's reaction to injuries around the league?

Presti seems to say there is a correlation between the number of games and the workload.

I personally think there is no correlation because players have been doing this for many many years. Do they play alot as juniors? ABSOLUTELY. That's what IMO hurts baseball pitchers and their elbows.

IMO, the emphasis on physical training is more of a detriment than it is a deterrent to injuries. Overdue something or "overstretch something" and that may cause more harm than good. BUT, that may not go for everybody. Some people can do it all and still have a long career. Others can do it all and still keep getting injured. Then there are those who don't do a good job taking care of their body and they still get injured and those that never take care of their body and always get injured.

I think those situations should be looked at on a case by case basis.

The achilles situation is something that doctors and trainers need to take a hard look at. Is there too much stretching going? Too much weight training? Was there an initial indicator?

Halliburton was interesting because everybody knew he had the lower calf strain. Same situation as Aaron Rodgers two seasons ago. He had a calf strain, played and POP. Although rest have helped, just how much rest? Tendons can't stretch like muscles. Muscle tissue and fibrous tissue are two different animals.

There was a guy on a clip from Gil’s arena, he was saying they are studying it and they believe it’s the way guys are stepping and pushing off. I don’t want to butcher what he said, so look on YouTube. It sounds like an interesting theory.

Shame about Malik Beasley because he's a good player and still young.

One bad financial mistake and boom, he may have done some betting on himself.

I'm sure most teams with space would give him a contract, but that investigation is gonna be a long process.

Dude jacked up his toe hours after signing new contract

Pretty crappy move by Pelinka if he really tried hurting Finney Smith's value by going around telling teams he's hurt so that he would sign his PO. Glad he got one last bag.

Mike Brown to the Knicks.

So weak. Pritchard put the league to shame but other players couldn't handle their stats being dinged, lol.

Flipowski looks great for the Jazz. Wish there was a viable way for us to trade for him but I doubt they will let him go.

Since protecting players stats, seems like the NBA's priority, I hereby propose that a missed LeBron James field goal be recorded as a missed DeAndre Ayton field goal instead

Almost 1/4 the league involved in the KD to Houston trade

Spotrac has to update its trade machine if this is what the CBA wants

How the hell is Dwight Powell still on the Mavericks. The guy has been cooked for at least the last few years and yet still somehow holding on.

I think the same will happen with JT.

No need to rush him back.

Any setback just for a playoff push is

It's not up to us.

Besides, JT got hurt in May and Hali got hurt in June.

JT healed in March is a big difference from Hali being healed in April.

But like I said, if the Cs really don't look good by trade deadline then no need for JT to return and just go for a lottery pick.
