Injury report

CHA: Vernon Carey Jr.: out (health protocols)

MIL: Grayson Allen: out (health protocols), Pat Connaughton: out (health protocols), Donte DiVincenzo: out (ankle), George Hill: out (health and safety protocols), Jrue Holiday: out (health protocols), Brook Lopez: out (back).

 

The first matchup between the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks ended in thrilling fashion, with the Bucks collecting a 127-125 win thanks to a buzzer-beating coast-to-coast layup from Giannis Antetokounmpo immediately following game-tying triple from LaMelo Ball. Let’s hope the Bugs end up on the right side of this one.

Antetokounmpo is fourth in the NBA in scoring at 28 points per game, seventh in rebounds per game at 11.4, and blocks a team-leading 1.4 shots per night while dishing 6.0 assists with noticeably-improved passing vision from his MVP seasons. There are so many great players in the league right now, but Antetokounmpo is putting up yet another season that places him among the top handful.

Hopefully, a blowout of the Pistons, some time at home and having a squad that’s nearly at 100 percent health/availability for the first time in months will play to their advantage with Milwaukee in the second game of a back-to-back.

one of those nights where long rebounds just keep coming to us, but not complaining.  Been some really bad shots by both teams, but Hornets should win this game up 10 with 6:30 to play.  da Freak kept our centers in foul trouble after the first two minutes and got his points, but our backcourt of Melo and Terry have been the difference maker.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
