Ignorant opinions about ALL COPS is trivial, insignificant and moot considering the thought process of the one person pushing the ignorant narrative of bad cops.

This is the kind of incident that can help a kid become a man with the right guidance but he has been in the situations before and here we are. Team loyalty and a father figure coach ( Monty Williams) could be what he needs, he is a kid, a stupid kid but STILL A KID! Maybe embrace him if his story does not rub management the wrong way?

Ignorant, he says. Lol. Move on bro. Or keep spreading those cheeks...

Seriously. There is a specific type of person that wants to become a cop.


Have you heard of Jeri Williams, a black African-American woman, and the Phoenix Chief of Police. Or Paul Penzone, Maricopa County Sheriff who thankfully beat out the racist, scumbag Joe Arapio in the last election. Both of these law enforcement leaders say the biggest problem they have is recruiting new officers. Who after all wants a low paying job where you get shot at, cursed at, spit at, pee and crap thrown at you, and disrespected on a daily basis. Well, I guess you could sign up to be a teacher too.

They're having a hard time finding new officers because people are waking up and sick of their sh*t.

K, long as you say I can. You dont really matter or exist with how your brain has shown it works in the real world but feel free to keep typing your opinion freely on things bro. Seek help, meds do help, chemical imbalance is real. Or dont, it dont matter, I thought you said you were done long ago so none of my posts have been for you to respond to because you have no credibility! No need to quote or reference me at all conspiracy theory, take care.

Lol. Wut. Because I don't blindly trust people given a gun and inflated sense of power, I'm a conspiracy theorist? Yeah, cause innocent, unarmed people all over the country haven't been killed by police with little to no repercussion. It's not conspiracy. It **** happens, and there's stories all the time about it. But keep sleeping through it and blindly following authority. You're doing your job as an American.

Terry Rozier said Tuesday on ESPN First Take that he wouldn't be interested in returning to the Boston Celtics if the team decides to bring back the same cast next season.

"No, I might have to go. I might have to go. I put up with a lot this year so I said what I said after this season. I think we all know I'm not trying to step into that again," he said.

Rozier, a point guard, will be a restricted free agent this summer.

It's like when you pressed the dunk button instead of the shoot button in the old NBA Live games. One of the most perplexing things I've seen in a basketball game IRL.

Sneaking in means you didn't pay. It means you're stealing from somebody else. From the entertainment, from the staff working the show, from the concessioners, etc. A thief is a thief ... doesn't matter how it's done. It's knowing right-from-wrong. Just like you expect every cop to be perfect why can't Josh Jackson just pay his way. The stupid f*ck has millions of dollars. Go ahead and try to justify your position but Jackson is a thief and was stupid enough to get a misdemeanor for resisting arrest and then a felony charge for escape. You admitting to sneaking back stage makes you a thief too and I'm sure police have been all over your azz for stupid stuff you have done. That's your problem buddy. Maybe take a hard look at yourself and become a better member of society.


Honestly no one can say s**t until all the facts come out. There was a guy on twitter that said that Josh had been drinking and left the VIP area (Where Booker/Ayton/Oubre along with girlfriends and family was) and didnt have his pass on him. Security wouldnt let him re-enter because he didnt have his pass and didnt remember Josh. Josh tried a few times to talk his way back in and security wasnt having it. Josh was then trying to find another way in when security saw him and restrained him for the cops.

Sounds a lot more fee-sable than a young multi-millionaire trying to get out of paying for VIP (Which all his friends are in) and essentially "Stealing" the couple hundred dollars it cost for the VIP pass.

The stupid part of all this is leaving while he was handcuffed. Seems like he already pulled the "Do you know who i am" card with security trying to re-enter the VIP. When they have your name and the damn team you play pro ball for, even if you escape with handcuffs on, they know who you are and you are f**ked when they find you.

With that being said, i expect the charges will be dropped when he accepts the plea deal which will be for a much much much lessor offence. A felony for walking off in handcuffs is stupid. They hit you with that so they can later drop it for getting you to accept their plea deal. Scare you with the felony, so they get a guilty plea for the misdemeanor. Happens all the time. Look at McGregor. In Miami they slapped him with a felony charge for taking a guys iPhone 6 and breaking it....and then walking off with the broken pieces. Here we are months later and....charges dropped.

So yeah, lets hear the full story before jumping to conclusions on both sides.


It's not a big deal that he was trying to get back into the VIP. But running from cops while in handcuffs....that's a pretty big deal. I wouldn't compare that to breaking an iphone. He will obviously have good attorneys so may plea out but what an idiot.

The east west disparity is continuing to grow... Zion/Morant headed out west, kick starting NO and Memphis rebuilds.
Lakers luck out again... I bet they land Beal
Kawhi rumored to be heading to clips...
It’s going to be a dog fight to make west playoffs next year.

Yeah the west lucking out was by far the worst thing that happened today.

Not great for Phoenix obviously. Also not a great day for Dallas, they didn't move up and keep their pick. They have a ton of eggs in porzingis basket and if he either doesn't come back healthy or happens to actually take the QO and leave they could be **** with the picks they owe NY and by the other non playoff teams out west getting lucky it's harder for them to climb into the playoffs.

Well yeah obviously the suns would do that. I'd expect Beal to fetch a lot more if they make him available (but i doubt they do).

What else would we have to throw in? MIL pick? Melton? Okobo? Done, done and done.

Future 1sts? Done too.

Anybody but Booker, Mikal and Deandre can go.

You'd need a top 3 pick, probably a guy like Bridges, Johnson (for salary matching) and a few other unprotected picks. Even then I'm not sure if it's enough for them

Outside of Beal wanting out, I don't see why they would move Beal

Those asset you're proposing to move are so non-consequential to us that they would view it the same.

If you can easily throw in future 1st, Mil Pick, Melkobo and basically anything that's not anything of tangible value (ie Booker, Mikal and Ayton) then it's really not worth much at all.
