Ruh roh.

Wonder if there is any sort of clause in their contract should they be convicted.

Really hope this seals their fate here. Not sure I could stomach another season of these boneheads.

Who's going to take them now? Probably stuck with them unless their contracts are voidable.
Go Suns!

Sell em for pennies on the dollar, someone will take them. I feel like Denver would take them to unload Faried.

Yep. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. The team's quote was interesting as well:
"This is a serious matter, and we will treat it as such.
Sounds like they're giving themselves an out.

That's a fair take. I wouldn't be surprised if the front office is getting a bit tired of their routine and weighing up if what they bring to the table is worth the other issues, even without this.

They're morons.

This is probably going to cost them a big chunk of money, or even worse, time behind bars.

If you have time to drives somewhere and find somebody and beat him up, you have time to use your brain and decide that this isn't a good idea.

We should try and trade them and our first round pick this year for a uncertain RFA in 2016. Here is hoping

Yeah, but at least he went the distance. If we're going to populate our roster with villains from Daredevil, let's get guys who are committed to the part. Taking out a hit on a pregnant woman because you don't want the baby is about as fucked up as it gets. The Morrii are wannabes.

What's crazy is I remember reading that after they acquired Barkley the initial plan was to start Mustaf at 4 and Barkley at 3. The ended up going small ball with Dumas and Ceballos and the rest is history.

They broke some dudes nose who was apparently was sending shit to their mom that was inappropriate. You gotta be smarter then that and realize whats going on but honestly if My Moms involved I'm probably going to blow my lid too. Most likely outcome is they settle this with some big payoff to the dude. The guy was apparently 36...wait.....whats Delonte West doing nowadays?

It was a very immature and stupid way to handle the matter, plus I mean....5 guys? really? Is this guy like the hulk they were attacking? Kinda a punk way to handle the matter 5 on 1
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
