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.

      Don't forget the young TEs, Coker, Etienne, and Jimmy Horn Jr! 😮 I'm amped to see how the team develops over the course of this upcoming season.

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
