    I wish @SlyPokerDog would start mandatory rests for certain people from the game threads. Not sure I’m ready for those to start up again….

    I wonder how this affects tanking. Also- how do they determine who qualifies as a star?

    I saw another article that said they define a "star" as anyone who has made an all-star or all-NBA team in the past 3 years.

    Hmm not sure how to post tweets; Kevin Porter Jr arrested for felony charges for punching his girlfriend multiple times and fracturing a bone in her neck.

    Porter Jr contract is non guaranteed the following two years so basically is an expiring.

    Was thinking maybe theres a 3 way deal where Houston gets Harden or something and we eat Porter Jr basically expiring deal for picks and young players.

    Although trading the greatest Blazer ever for a felony wife beater might be hard for Cronin to sell.

    We wouldn't really be trading Dame for Porter though....it would be for the young player and picks. But I think Houston is content with the young squad they have. I don't think they want Harden anymore. But I would certainly do it if I am the Blazers

    Kevin Porter Jr. will be back next season. The Miles Bridges dv incident is standard NBA procedure. Spend 1 year doing legal punishment, rehabilitation, then a slap on the wrist 20 game suspension by the league in the following year.

    17ppg "young talent" is welcome back with open arms. I wonder if the same forgiving treatment would be given to a not very good 2ppg bench scrub?

    I really doubt it. If I knew you I would bet you a lot of money on it.....assuming the allegations are true.

    miles bridges is 2x the player kpj is. He’s going overseas for a minimum of 2-3 years before anyone will even touch him again in the nba.

    It would be impossible for me to accept.

    He allegedly broke a vertebra in Ms. Gondrezik's neck. She could have been killed or paralyzed. It is alleged he kept beating her until she was able to flee into hallway covered in blood.

    That is not a person who is "troubled".

    The league needs to stop being soft on domestic violence. If you assault someone especially someone who is smaller and weaker then you should be banned. These players are viewed as role models whether they are willing to admit it or not.
