Man, he knows how to get himself into some drama. Pistons need to be glad he's off the payroll.

I mean, he clearly has enough to still employ 'high-powered attorneys' to engage in extensive conversations with the Justice Department on his behalf.

If there is a $10+ million/year contract on the horizon for him, it wouldn't be unheard of for someone to front him a couple of million in exchange for a very high interest rate.

(Spoiler Alert:

It's probably his agent.)

No.
Very raw talent that we don't need. He struggles at just about everything.

Agreed. OMP is a major developmental project with limited upside.

He's a Dom Barlow-level project.

He may indeed turn out to be an NBA Player, but he's likely destined for the G-League for another year or two.

Silver will do what the other 29 owners want him to do.
And they may not all have 'clean hands', in how they do 'things (maybe not at this level)' so they may not want a deep dive, just saying.
