    I will say that trade idea is not that bad could be better but considering some of the crap idea's thrown around not too bad I would say solid B idea. The biggest problem with the deal is getting 4 teams involved and that is really hard to do and that would prolly be the biggest hold up on this ever happening.

    If Morris is pissy about being a reserve on a win-now team in LA, how's he going to feel about being a reserve on a rebuilding team in Portland?

    Nope. Not worth the flier.
    Badji has more potential than Jones does.... if that is any indication for you.

    And/or drugs.

    Send him to NYK.

    Morris ($17.1M expiring) <-> Fournier ($18.8M, with a team option in '24 -> so an expiring) + 2 seconds.
    Portland takes on ~$1.7M in salary, but gets a few seconds for their trouble.

    Perhaps no impact on injuries, but I don't see how data can measure the effect of load management (or lack thereof) on player fatigue.

    over 14 seasons, Wilt averaged 46 minutes and 75 games a year. If you delete the 1969-70 season when he only played 12 games, in the other 13 seasons he averaged 46 minutes in 80 games a year. He also played 160 playoff games averaging 47 minutes, So, over 46 minutes/game for 91 games a year

    Karly Malone played 17 seasons of 80 games or more averaging over 37 minutes. He averaged 36 minutes over 81 games when he was 39

    think of what they could have done about fatigue with load management...j/k

    it wasn't nearly "as bad" as the last dv. His wife didn't have to go the the ER suffering from a severe beating.

    I guess a regular kid handoff turned south. The allegations are Miles was yelling and screaming mean things, then fastballed pool balls at the ex wife's car breaking windows. The little children were in the vehicle during this alleged incident.

    I read one report saying the Miles blowup happened earlier this year, and cops are just recently serving the arrest warrant.

    The new MB charges are violating a protective order under probation, DO NOT fight with ex wife. The other charge is child abuse.

    The billard balls were allegedly shattering glass on the children in the car. Plus it's maniacal, dangerous, insane to throw baseball sized rocks at people in cars. They could have gone straight through the thin glass and smacked someone causing severe injury.

    Bridges has 10 games left on a 30 game suspension. The Hornets & the NBA are focused on getting Bridges on the court. Talent always supersedes off court family abuse. Being that nobody went to the hospital bloodied & beaten after this new allegation, I expect a very lenient slap on the wrist suspension (if any).

    The more a player plays the more chance for injury.

    Looks like he might have lost some of his explosiveness.
