The NBA on Friday introduced that Charlotte Hornets restricted free agent ahead Miles Bridges — who pleaded no contest to a felony rely of injuring a toddler’s guardian in trade for three years probation and no jail time after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend in entrance of their two kids — will serve a 30-game suspension for his actions, with the league giving him credit score for 20 games served. Meaning, whichever franchise decides to compromise its morals for a springy wing who can get you 20 factors an evening, shall be with out stated free-agent addition for all of 10 games subsequent 12 months.

I’ve questions…
I’ve so many questions, essentially the most urgent of which is: How are you able to serve 20 games of a suspension in case you’re not on an NBA roster?
Other than LeBron James, no one was prepared to go close to the radioactive four-year-hasn’t-been-able-to-start-his-fifth-year professional throughout the 2022 season due to pending litigation and the PR hit they’d take for overlooking his off-court shit.
Last summer time, the staff and Bridges allowed his qualifying supply to run out, making him a restricted free agent. I’d say, in case you can’t get anybody to rent you, and have to sit down out a season due to your individual actions, the league shouldn’t bend over backward to retrofit the punishment. Am I loopy? Am I the one one who provides a shit about decorum? Image? Integrity?
Here’s one other pertinent query in my line of many: Haven’t sufficient wealthy individuals been given breaks for being shitty individuals this week? Congratulations, Miles, you and Dan Snyder can toast at whichever bar means that you can present your faces.
And my last query is for Adam Silver. Umm, what the fuck are you doing? I imply I do know what you have been doing dropping this information at 5 p.m. on a Friday, however I assumed you have been a acutely aware commissioner.
