It’s pretty hilarius considering he’s the one with crazy off court issues and in a historically bad organization. It’s poetic in a way.

Same thought, they basically would have been selling low because of his off the court issues. From a strictly asset management position, it made sense to keep him. From public image position, he should have been gone.

Miles was a on a great trajectory before the incident

RelevantJackWhite | Trail Blazers

it’s not an “incident”, it’s a horrific series of crimes. He beat, strangled and concussed a mother, in front of her young children. After somehow not receiving jail time for this, he proceeded to throw pool balls at this woman’s car and broke the windshield, again while his children were in the car.

“Incident” makes it sound like he got too drunk and felt up someone who was married at a party. This dude is an abuser and has traumatized his children. Sorry, I grew up with someone like this, and I just feel for those kids. This man deserves zero sympathy

It takes two seconds to look up that the pool ball incident charges were dropped due to lack of sufficient evidence.

““Given the lack of sufficient evidence necessary to overcome the inconsistency of these accounts, the state would not be successful at trial,” the court documents signed by prosecutor Samantha Pendergrass said.”

The charges being dropped don’t mean he didn’t do it. It means it isn’t substantial enough to hold up in court.

Dude is a piece of shit and we should have dropped him ages ago.

I mean that’s correct? Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean you never did it. It means a court can’t say that you did. Just because charges get dropped doesn’t mean that’s a clean bill of innocent. It could be here but my comment is general.

Nah. Bridges is just lucky that he did what he did with MJ as owner and Mitch Kupchak as GM. Those guys are pretty old school so they just sort of let the process play out and kept him. Now it’s been so long the and the NBA has moved on new owners don’t care.

You’d be surprised. The outrage over him doesn’t extend outside online. His peers still respect him and that’s all that matters to a franchise. If he produces, he will have a place in the league regardless of how you feel.

IDK about the NBA, but NHL teams have responded to fan outrage over player signings before. Recently, a number of NHL teams were rumored to be signing players who were involved in a 2019 sexual assault scandal, only to decide against it after strong fan backlash. One player is signed to an NHL team, but the other four are not.

It also happened in the 2021 draft, when Montreal drafted a player who had ~~a history of racist abuse of a classmate~~ secretly taken nudes of a woman during sex and spread them around. The player actually had asked not to be drafted, but Montreal drafted him anyway. They responded by essentially keeping him in junior leagues and the AHL (the NHL’s G-League), until trading him away.

Montreal 2021 wasn’t due to racial abuse.

You’re right, I remember that now. I am confusing it with Mitchell Miller, whose contract was also rescinded after fan backlash against the Bruins. He racially abused a black classmate for years and it eventually led to the Coyotes rescinding his draft pick. The Bruins signed him, but intense backlash led to the NHL declaring him ineligible for the league and the Bruins rescinding the deal he signed

I’m still absolutely floored by it too. When the story first dropped it was a big deal, he was getting dragged, went through suspension, the whole 9. Now he gets some pretty loud cheers at Spectrum Center

Im sorry is no one ever allowed to grow and be a better human? Should we treat him like shit until he dies or what? He faced his punishments, he hasn’t continued that behavior. And when the woman he beat tried to harass him and kept stalking him, he responded in the best way possible by not engaging. What else do you need him to do?

Now that he’s paid relative to his production he’s not worth as much to look at

He’s a solid player whether you like him off the court or not. (And I don’t, just to be clear) but Miles isn’t the first shitty person to have their actions excused because they play a sport well and he certainly won’t be the last, either. Idk why yall expect him to be treated like a pariah when just about every team has willingly kept a guy like this around before lol

Unfortunately the league doesn’t really care about DV as long as you’re “good enough”. Miles Bridges, Jaxson Hayes, and Kevin Porter Jr are all playing now. All of these guys have friends in the league, swap jerseys with other players, workout with each other over the summer, etc. Even Jason Kidd is a pretty respected coach.

I think he’s probably moved in the off season as an expiring contract for this reason.

He’s still not a long term solution in the front court, but the starting lineup has been excellent so there’s no point in messing with it at the trade deadline.

Think about what you’re asking for. How many people are both better individually and would be better fits for us right now.

You goons on here are far too blinded by your hate to look at the situation logically.

He’s definitely the most expendable part of the starting lineup. Idec abt the off-court stuff, but dickriding a forward who shoots 33% from 3 (Draymond numbers without the defense) because he’s a “team leader” is nuts/insane. Ydkb

Jeff’s just not gonna do anything this deadline though.

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

He’s undersized for his position and is below league average efficiency from literally everywhere on the court. He’s not a long term piece.

That doesn’t mean they should ship him out right now, but if he’s not moved by the start of next season I would be shocked.
