Let's not get into this talk. It will end very very ugly.

I'm done. Just trying to say, don't pass judgment until you know what happened. With social media, it seems guilty until proven innocent is becoming the norm.

He is entitled to his opinion but I personally know a lot of good cops and it is opinions like people like him that taint everything. So the moral ground I was raised on (military and police) drives me to say to each his own, it is his right as an american to believe and speak to what ever it is he thinks. My personal opinion of such words is very negative and dont need to be spoken (restraint is also MY RIGHT), I THINK YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT! Good day sir, good luck.

"All [insert some group of people] are [insert some negative trait]" statements are dumb.
And Josh don't deserve benefit of the doubt because of his past behavior.

Just because you personally know someone doesn't make them a good person. By becoming a cop you agree to enforce all laws equally, even the unjust ones. Not to mention, if those "good" cops you know were really good, there would be no "bad" cops because they wouldn't allow that **** to happen. Either way, everyone is entitled to their opinion, until it's illegal to have your own opinion, which isn't out of the realm of possibilities the way things are going.

This is such horsesh*t. Saying all law enforcement are bastards is just as narrow minded as saying all black people are killers and thieves. It's just plain ignorance. There are good cops and bad cops. There are black cops and white cops. There are good people and bad people. Then there are idiots like Josh Jackson. If you get arrested for trying to sneak in a VIP area that's your freaking fault. It's called stupidity. Nothing fishy about it at all.

I wanted him traded either way. He was not a good player plus they need cap space spent on other needs: PF, PG and possibly a shooter if they have some cash left over.

Although definitely not my favorite option, would you guys entertain this trade with Cleveland, IF they landed at #2 in order to draft Morant??

https://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/7193983 . We'd then have to look to move Warren to a team for cap space obviously.



Then maybe say Warren/ the Milwaukee pick and our 32nd pick to Utah for their 23rd pick ( To clear more cap space).



We use the 23rd pick to draft Cam Johnson or Kabengele, For added depth and floor spacing at power forward behind Love.

This Trade with Utah, would give us around 10-11 million in additional cap space to add to our 8-9 million.

Giving us upwards of 19-20 million in cap space to pursue a veteran guard in free agency???

Collison? Beverly? Or Joseph.

So theoretically, If we took this route, Our roster would look like this most likely:

POINT GUARD- Collison or Beverly? / Morant/ Melton.

SHOOTING GUARD- Booker / Bridges/ free agent?

SMALL FORWARD- Oubre / Bridges/ Cam Johnson?

POWER FORWARD- Kevin Love / Aminu/ Cam Johnson?

CENTER- De Andre Ayton/ Holmes?

This is really weird logic.

How is that weird logic? Cops should uphold the laws they agree to uphold as the reason for existing, yet they don't when those that break laws are other cops. If good cops existed, they would stop the bad cops from doing the bad things they do, but they look the other way because cops don't police cops. This is about as logical as it gets.

People choose to become cops. People don't choose their race. So it is nothing alike. I don't know why race was brought into this. So, sneaking into a VIP area is justifiably an arrest-able offense? Okay, sureeeeee....

Preppers are crazy. Doubting the integrity of regular people given guns and an inflated sense of power is smart. But cool... it's the internet, continue to make wild judgments on people without knowing anything about anything. I'm done.
