    I just read up it on cause I was curious.

    He was cited for a DUI or DUII whatever the abbreviation is as a member of the pistons.
    He plead guilty to the lesser charge of allowing someone else to operate his vechile whom was intoxicated.
    His lawyer said due to him being a professional basketball player, he was released from his probation so long as he completes a 25 day 'intensive program'. As well as complies with the rules.(whatever those rules are idk, assume no driving at least).
    I wonder if someone who didn't have millions to pay a lawyer could get a sentence like this. Cause imo no one should get off that easy.
    I had two people close to me hit by drunk drivers when they were children. Still effects one of them to this day and he's now 33 with kids of his own.

    Funny you say that about the line as it doesn't look like it matches the data at all.

    Sorry, but you're wrong.
    BNM is right on this. Further you are to the top/right of the line, the more positive your contributions are. Further you are to the bottom/left of the line, the more you suck.

    If you're on the line - the offensive and defensive contributions are offset by one another. (If you're on the bottom right quadrant - and on the line - you score a lot of points, but you also give up just as many as you score).

    OK, I thought it was a match of the blazer data.

    So if Kantavious Caldwell Pope steals the ball from us tomorrow night, is that a probation violation?

    No, but if he's seen hanging out with you they could nail him for frequenting a public nuisance.

    I wondered the same, so a month ago, I compared to the actual stats. It's the very bottom line of the picture.

    If you really want to trade a guard wouldn't CJ be the better choice ?
    I don't think Bazz is THAT FAR from CJ offensively, and he's a better defender, but CJ must have way more trade value...

    I've been thinking Bazz could be real good given enough minutes since we got him...

    'Walker is exactly right. It's rare that I agree with every part of a post 100%.

    One of the main complaints I see around here is that Dame and CJ are too small. Dame and Shabazz is Lilliputian by comparison.

    I’m not opposed to smart moves with high percentage chances to improve the team, and if trading a guard does that, so be it.

    With that said hasn it been the general consensus of the forum that we needed a solid back pg to provide a solid three guard rotation?

    Now it seems we are starting to have that and now we need to trade one of them????
