    So irrelevant to compare minutes from those periods decades ago.

    Players didn't play as hard for all 48 minutes.

    The league had way more terrible teams.

    Also the 98% or whatever of guys that were too injured to play the same minutes as Malone/Wilt kind of prove the point that more rest/load management may have been needed.

    But he should've been on his best behavior since he hasn't even got to game 1 of the season to start his suspension. Hornets look stupid for giving him a single $1 right now and the NBA looks like a joke if they don't give an additional major suspension.

    Ja gets what 25 games for a friends video threatening nobody but someone charged with child abuse and issued an arrest warrant gets less?

    Ja never was charged with a crime for either incident.

    pro sports vs. morality

    1 makes vast amounts of cash
    the other has 0 dollar value

    Bridges beats his wife. But he can get your team 15 & 6 on a very cheap 7m dollar contract. One of the NBA's most inexpensive stat stuffer. Almost every armchair GM mentions adding Bridges, production overlaps payroll. Even our beloved Danny Marang, the local voice of reason, tries to convince fans that adding Miles Bridges to the Blazers roster is "worth a shot". He's cheap, it saves Jody Allen money, he can add big stats for pennies on the dollar.

    Ja Morant kept showing off with guns. The NBA has a very strict gun policy. Also, Ja Morant is an iconic superstar, his public perception is held to a much higher standard.

    Miles Bridges went from rising star, to take a flyer with horrible baggage attached. His public perception is not disciplined as sternly as superstar NBA player Morant.

    I love how, because the NBA has unions, this sort of GameStop manager “work harder you lazy Gen Z bastards” talk has to be backed up with scientific studies.

    and if you're a scrub who randomly says the "k-word" while playing a video, you're blackballed.

    The "bust" center we didn't want in the GP2 deal just went 20/10 in 23 minutes. Preseason, but still.

    I'd bet that was a Vulcan decision. Blazers were 5.4M under the tax after the trade. If they had taken Wiseman, they would have been 4M over the tax...for a lottery team on the way into a tank

    I'd like to see the Blazers use that 8.3M TPE but I doubt they will. It expires in 4 months
