If Miles truly dedicates himself to ending domestic violence and his family forgives him, I can too. And I don't mean just mandated community service and throwing money at an organization. Like really being a public advocate and making a difference with your platform. That's a "second chance" story that I could proudly get behind.

I mention Vick a lot but Smitty is a good local example too. He's used his mistakes to make a positive impact with the work he's put into mental health awareness.

Using your girlfriend as a punching bag in front of your small children is deplorable. It’s going to take a lot more than a financial donation, a Twitter apology, and a 20 game suspension for this guy to get right with society. Handing him a 200 million dollar max contract is probably one of the worst things that could be done.

No one is handing him a 200 million dollar max contract any time soon, if at all. Whether it's the Hornets or someone else, he'll get a low offer with a lot of stipulations in it. He'll have to prove himself on and off the court over probably 2-3 years before sniffing big money again. Obviously I feel for the girl above everything basketball related but in the context of the team, Hornets really lucked out that this happened before he got a max deal from us rather than after. If it happened after we'd be stuck with him on that deal. Now, we have options and hold all the cards.

Yeah count me as someone who will have little to no interest in watching Miles Bridges play for the Hornets. Apparently all the team has been doing through silence is waiting for this all to blow over. Pretty damn scummy tbh. And for the fans this is Greg Hardy meets nearly Rae Carruth. If you can just go back to cheering for that well no more needs to be said I guess.

This man was drinking lean and went on IG business as usual at a basketball practice the day after nearly killing the mother of his child and you think he's going to become a domestic violence prevention advocate? He had obviously done this before too. In actuality he is only lucky he didn't kill her forget a redemption story.

We're lottery pick bound regardless let some other team deal with this drama. Neither look like they need custody of kids. Hiding out in his house saying he wants to be left alone. Newsflash you're a father and a millionaire big guy step up you aren't working a 9-5 at Arby's. Good luck with all that Miles.

Hoping Miles redeems himself does not equal being okay that he beat up this woman. 

 

There is indeed an opinion between hoping he burns in hell, and only caring about him dunking a basketball.

 

For the sake of the kids I hope he does. But posting a video to paint the mother of your child in a bad light at the expense of making yourself out to look like a deadbeat father after pleading no contest to domestic violence is moving in the complete opposite direction of redemption. Someone with a functioning brain needs to get in his ear and tell him to grow up. But it's clear the people he has chose to surround himself with are only feeding this spiral that he has found himself in.

For sure but I agree with @frankw that it's looking unlikely. He showed more remorse when he threw his mouthpiece at the fan.

The redemption story fits the man we thought he was but it's becoming increasingly clear that the real Miles Bridges is not that guy.

    • I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did. 
    • See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.
    • Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
