Not sure he's gotten anything right, so I'm thinking nothing comes of these rumors.

His claim to fame is he was the first call the Nurk trade, and I think he called one of the minimum signing before anyone else.
But yeah, the bullshit meter is high but IF you want to believe him, there’s also this.
Gross.

The hardest thing for me to believe is the Hornets really wanting Metu.

Yikes. I would hate Bridges on this team. He just seems like a horrible human who really shouldn't be in the NBA. I thought this article from Katie Heindl's Basketball Feelings substack was really poignant: https://basketballfeelings.substack.com ... gy-of-hurt
I honestly didn't even know about the stuff with Porzingis or Billups until I read her article.
The chemistry on this team is just starting to click... bringing in Bridges is such a huge risk that I don't think the team really recovers from it. And I don't see Booker as being 100% okay with this; he's so involved with the community, and regardless of whether or not you think Book is the best player on the team, he's definitely the leader. So how does that play out?
Just gross to think about.

Imagine selling your soul for a championship like that and still not winning. That would be a pretty awful feeling.

And guess what? He’s going to continue to make those appearances as long as he’s allowed in the NBA whether it’s in Phoenix or elsewhere.. Might as well help us win a title rather than go to our opponent and help them.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 11:28 amI am a believer in forgiveness and giving people second chances.

The guy got some grace, probation rather than prison time, a small suspension and a chance to restore his career. Then he has another incident including throwing things at the same woman, again in the presence of his poor children. At that point I don't think there is much hope for the guy.
You can say it doesn't matter because all you want is his play on the court. But NBA players make appearances at events, schools, hospitals, charity stuff. They are part of the city and community and are public-facing in a way other employees are not. You can't bring in a guy who you know beat the crap out of his wife, concussed her, fractured her ribs, threw metal objects at her, multiple times. You can't.

It is sad that karma doesn't fall positively the Suns way, when they do things because of "morality" in their past. Horry was sent out, because he disrespected Ainge and ended up getting 5 more rings because of it?
Kidd was sent away in a equally shitty trade, as far as value imo, because of "morality".
Joe Johnson was traded away in an uneven trade because he told the owner he didn't want to be here(f'n owners fault in the first place).

Yeah, let's not purposely introduce a cancer to the body.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 10:09 amYeah. That would be a very toxic decision by the organization. I would never touch Miles Bridges with a 30ft pole. He shouldn't ever play professional basketball again. Most folks would still be in prison.

Why us? Let him go to a cancer organization. The juice isn't worth the squeeze with him at all. Just because he can play in the league doesn't mean he should play for us simply because it may or may not help us win a championship.specialsauce wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 1:06 pmAnd guess what?

What’s the organization being a cancer have anything to do with the community? Are you suggesting a bad organizations fans and community deserve a player like that?

Disregard that comment. It more meant organizations that make bad decisions regularly and currently aren't in the market of caring about things like hiring repeat wife beaters in front of their children. It's a cancerous organizational decision and I don't think we should be that organization simply because some team in the NBA will have him.specialsauce wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 2:56 pmWhat’s the organization being a cancer have anything to do with the community?
