The Gun flashing in the car is such a nothing on it's own, he's just eating the penalty that he probably should have gotten from jumping that dude, and pulling out the gun in the strip club. That was the generous slap on the wrist. He was put on don't be stupid probation, and violated it so he gets his actual punishment. Dexo fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Jun 16, 2023 |

Is this a negotiated deal or is the union going to get involved now?

Things Ja has done in the past year: - Beaten up a literal child - Sent his goons to physically intimidate some rentacop for daring to do his job - Either sent his goons to actually point guns at a Pacers bus or just “pretended” to with laser pointers - Got caught waving a gun around in a different state, in a strip club, possibly violating the NBA’s policy on transporting firearms on team transport - Promised the literal commissioner of the league in which he plays for that he’d change his ways, lied to his face and was immediately caught on camera waving a gun around like a stupid dipshit within a month That’s the dude you’re defending.

Morant's actions in the Instagram video were 100% legal and entirely on his own time. They should've suspended him for the previous awful stuff he did, and they'd have had it help up better when the union gets involved and squashes this.

i am a moron posted:Is this a negotiated deal or is the union going to get involved now? My guess is Ja and the Union aren't gonna fight this. It'd be a real dumb fight to take on, considering they have overtly tried to help, coddle and guide him as much as possible before this most recent event.

Ghost Dog posted:wont someone think of the agents The whole point is they are paid off the valuation of their clients. If they’re saying Ja is loving up their clients’ valuation, that means he’s depressing leaguewide salary as a whole. You can be reductive and as disingenuous as you want, but his actions are quite literally costing the league as a whole money.

I think unions should generally err on the side of always fight for your members but he did a bunch of poo poo that should have probably gotten him this suspension already, was given a "ok just don't do any more stupid poo poo for a while and you're good" escape hatch, and not only immediately hosed it up but tried to lie his way out of it They should tell him he's on his own for this one

Maybe if it was like the 50 Arenas got for bringing a gun to the stadium and threatning a teammate in DC where even carrying a gun like that is illegal as gently caress. He might challenge it, but yeah 25 all sides probably view as fair, considering the overall cost to the player. temple posted:Saying it was a toy gun is worth a yr imo hmm, this is the only good point i've seen for an over the top suspension.

WhyteRyce posted:in Zion's defense he's got other relationships to deal with Pels just fired Teresa Weatherspoon. The one person Zion was ride or die with on the staff. The person the Pels didn't let interview for the Mercury job or the assistant Blazers position because they wanted her to be there with Zion. Now the Pels starting the "sources say" PR tour? It's over in New Orleans for Zion.

If it was a fine, the team has to pay Morant who then pays from his income, but a suspension the team just doesn't have to pay him? So, the Grizzlies' ownership just get to save $10mil as part of all of this? Boo.

I think there is only like 4 or 5 suspensions in league history longer than this. Artest, Arenas, Jackson, Crittenton, and RTB MB. Jermaine O'Neal almost killed a man, but for god's grace, on the court and got 15 lol. edit: lmao, Forgot about Latrell Sprewell giving hands to and choking out PJ Carlesimo and got like I think like p much an entire season suspension.

The only mitigating circumstance around the TSpoon firing is she was part of the SVG staff and Green is finally getting the chance to make his own staffing hires. Also, they let her interview for those positions but gave her more money before she accepted to go to those interviews, so they never happened.

Fast Luck posted:And then lied again and said it was a toy gun, and also you left out the fight his crew instigated at a girls basketball game. Yeah, 25 seems fair for the various infractions (major and minor) he's racked up. The real punishment as I understand it was not making All-NBA and thus having a lower max contract available. The gun on camera thing, while not illegal, seems like something the league wanted him not to do. Sort of like how posting an anti-Semitic screed on social media is entirely legal, but will still likely result in consequences at one's place of work.

He got off easy, with a slap on the wrist, with an implied probation, for the stuff he did earlier, him waving the gun violated that implied probation and attempt at good will, so he's gonna get the full punishment he escaped the first time.

When I first started watching I thought, "How sweet, Embiid is back in Cameroon (I assume) playing with a bunch of local kids." then you look more closely and he's actually just towering over a bunch of grown-rear end men.

I called the people clamoring for like 50 games or a year cops lol. I stand by that statement. Generally, I was content with how the league was handling it at that time. Dude needed(still needs) help, and to figure poo poo out, and was fine to see if maybe that was a wakeup call for him to stop moving so stupidly. He did not stop moving stupidly so now he's eating that suspension. Dexo fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 16, 2023 |
