I think that's the end game but he has to be on the court first. He made a mistake, there's no denying that.
Good point. What kind of person sacrifices $60M to punch his girlfriend? A sociopath with zero impulse control skills, that's who. Not an "immature" kid.
Here is what I believe will happen. No one really cares about any of this, the NBA pretends to care then as things quiet down they let them back in - same thing here. Hell this country doesn't care we have a guy that literally said "Grab em by the p***y" and has been accused of 26 sexual assaults running for President and people bend over backwards to overlook all of that. Some of you might care, but the majority don't as soon as he hits his first basket and helps his team win, all of that is out the window and people will be buying his jersey and cheering him on. People love a good comeback story, and don't care about transgressions at all. That is just the way the world works now, I guess. So all of this, he will never be back stuff, IMHO, is nonsensical and not based in real world situations. DD
That's certainly within the realm of possibility, it's the timeline people disagree with. Just to be clear, when do you think he will be back in the NBA (even if just doing a minimum contract)?
I think one thing people are forgetting: kpj sucks. He showed some promise as a potential solid bench player but certainly never showed he could be a starter or anything close to that. If bridges as a player was the same as kpj, he would not be in the league most likely
I honestly don't know, but I would guess, he will try to seek a TC invite this offseason - and I suspect someone will offer one - I could see the Lakers, or the Spurs for instance. KPJ and Wemby would be a great lob threat. I would have never traded him would have waited for it all to die down, we weren't winning anything this year anyway, and I would have let IME see him, and see if it was worth keeping him.....and if Ime wanted him gone, would have cut him..... DD
He pled guilty to a misdemeanor. Clearly you care, so I can assume that you are bothered by Trump and his 26 sexual assault cases, or his being found guilty of SA on a person in NY and forced to play more than 100m in fines to her? My point is, yes, it seems no one cares....unfortunately, oh, they care in the moment, but 6 months later....nope.....no one cares. Just look at it historically in all sports....has a misdemeanor plea ever ended someone's career? I am not defending him, just saying that someone will take a risk - I have no clue what he did that night and neither does anyone here, and his plea deal implies a very weak case for the prosecution. DD
Trump is trash too just like KPJ. Yes, I'll still care about domestic violence. I'm assuming nobody in your family has experienced it (and thankfully that hasn't happened) but it's ugly. I have to honestly ask why did you bring up Trump to defend KPJ? Who cares about Trump? Certainly not myself. Seems like a weak deflection point
Don't forget, a jury found OJ not guilty. Which of course means that nothing at all happened and he's just got some growing up to do.
Truly. This guy is one of the biggest **** posters on the Internet. Trump and KPJ both suck. **** takes is just making excuses for KPJ just like 30% of the country does for DJT. Jalen Green is better right now than Kevin Porter ever was, and I truly believe that is largely because KPJ was out of the way. How Trump or baby mommy quotas register VS domestic violence is truly telling. He can’t move off his bullshit. I’ve got a theory…. KPJ benefitted from being under and mismanaged as a rocket. This caused him to look somewhat decent at times. His (lack of character) and (future) bad decisions will blend poorly with his hero ball style, and he won’t have much of an NBA career if any going forward. Again, anyone that can’t realize that his girlfriend backed off of her claims for money and “love” is in denial. **** take score =9.2
DD disapproves. According to him, Jalen looked ok last two seasons because KPJ made him look good. What’s sadder is there were posters liking his take. https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/chapter-7-exit-stage-left.322160/#post-15036436 **** take score 200.92
So let me make sure I inner stand you On one hand you think a combo guard who knocked up a said Thot/GD is a red flag and bad judgment and should be traded for that and before that for whoever else (lamelo etc)..... But you would have held on to a player who allegedly attacked his sig. other and has a track record going back to HS/College of conduct detrimental to the team.....where the Rockets had to discipline him for leaving the arena after almost or scuffling with the coach staff??? Now if you switch the players scenario you would be ******** all over Green for doing g that to his sig. other with the track record attached That sounds bout right...or no??
He's going to die on the KPJ hill. Doesn't matter what that idiot does. Probably will have one of his Greece jerseys .
