Or just have him plead guilty? What's the sentencing? 1 year probation? 2? Does he actually do 60-90 days jail time?
Likely no contest Probation maybe community service and a fine. I highly doubt there will be jail time.
No, but he has a felony case pending. Its for weed though so he'll probably just get fined or something. I dont think he'd be a basketball fit for Portland though. Hes a liability defensively and is an undersized five. Rather just give minutes to Watford.
Yeah I'd be shocked if the team does anything except small salary dump at deadline, duck tax, maybe sign buyout guy for playoffs. Were gonna hear likely hundreds if not thousands of posts and speculation the next 7 months about what the Blazers BAE signing, trade exception acquisition, or 15th roster spot player will be...... when the answer is only luxury tax savings.
According to hoops hype we are paying him 1.3 mil this year and the next two years. Is this possible or do they have bad information. Latest on Bledsoe https://thecomeback.com/nba/eric-bledsoe-arrested-domestic-violence.html
Possible he is on the cap for those amounts if we stretched him. PDX would've actually paid him everything this year, the stretch doesn't change timing of checks he receives, but it changes when its on the Blazers salary cap.
He just signed in China and beat up his girlfriend in the past 24 hours. I thought that’s what this bump was, ha!
This is correct information. Just like Portland has Andrew Nicholson on the books with a cap hit. He never played for Portland & was waived over 5-years ago. The stretch provision spreads out the cap hit.
I thought there was some kind of morals clause in the nba players agreement. Talk about about paying for a dead horse.
How many player can you stretch at the same time? We also stretched Didi's contract this year as well. Also have Nicolson's contract on the book still.
Portland stretched both Didi & Bledsoes contract 'this year' - so you are incorrect there. The only requirement is that the total cap hit on stretched contracts cannot exceed 15% of the Salary Cap. This year, the Cap is set at $123.6M. Therefore no team can have stretched contracts exceeding $18.54M. In theory, if Lakers were to waive/stretch Westbrook's contract (before the season started) - the cap hit would be $47M/(2x contract years + 1) => or $47M/3 => or $15.67M so they could have done it. If Lakers already had dead cap space like Nicholson ($2.85M) and Didi ($0.27M) on their books - then Lakers would have been prohibited using the Stretch Provision on Westbrook ($15.67M + $2.85M + $0.27M => $18.79M which is more than what is allowed).
They are dilutional about how RW is an asset that he can trade and get something in return. They are stuck with some one who they are paying 47 mil that no one wants. They will mostly likely ride it out with him this year and try again next year while Lebron turns 39. Stretching him now seems pointless since they are over the cap anyway.
