Hard to bitch about it when you knew the rules going in.

So, even with deep pockets, it still hurts!!
Mark Cuban before him tried to buy his way to a championship, but hardening the taxes prevent him for keeping this course, still Brooklyn and Golden State kept trying, so I actually believe that the curren system have derived on an unfair advantage for the deepest pocket owners, capable of taking those hits.
It’s good to know that even Lacob it’s afraid of the long term implications. Deep pockets are not unlimited pockets after all.

Pretty safe bet that his NBA career is finished.

I will never underestimate celebrities’ ability to not only get acquitted but also to have a redemption tour. Nothing would surprise me here.

I’m sure he won’t serve 11 years, but he should definitely serve time. And I won’t lose any sleep over him never touching the court again. What he did was appalling. I just hope the kids and their mother will be ok going forward.

We'll have to see how the hearing plays out, but I doubt he'll be back in the league unless it's uncovered that his wife beat herself.

Ya she had some very real and very significant injuries. Someone posted his rap song with him bragging about beating up women as well. Looks to be a trash human being.

At least Josh Jackson hasn't killed anybody yet like Wormwood predicted.

Yeah, it's really going to set them back. I suggested when the news broke that the NBA should somehow compensate them. Even a couple of 2nd round picks is better than nothing at all.

I was gonna say give them an exception for his salary, but he was a free agent…maybe an exception for whatever his QO was? I don’t know

Watch the Hornets win the lottery next year to pair Wembanyama with LaMelo.

I wouldn’t quite count on Miles’ career being over. Michael Vick had a lot of success in his NFL playing career after spending a couple years in prison.

What Michael Vick did was small peanuts compared to this. Also this is the NBA, the NFL has shit standards. The NFL might as well be a prison fighting ring.

Vick was also 15 years ago. Ray Rice had his elevator incident where he knocked his fiancé out and he never played again. What Bridges did is worse than Rice…though there is no video.

There's some pretty compelling physical evidence.
