Miles Bridges Suspended

[frankw]

Miles isn't completely irredeemable it isn't mine or anyone's place to say. But when you look at his immediate actions afterward on social media like nothing happened and airing out his baby momma with her and his kids locked outside of his expensive home in the weeks after it doesn't vibe with someone that recognizes the severity of their actions and a desire to want to change that. If the team brings him back it's just not a good look no matter how you may want to rationalize it.

Miles is most likely a piece of poo human being, but if not here he's just gonna go to the Lakers or Philly or something on the cheap so screw it I'll take him back here for cheap. Hope we get Wemby or at least Miller and we can actually compete next year and maybe keep LaMelo from bolting at first opportunity.

Miller will be the best player in this draft. His game will translate better at the next level with his ability to create his own shot or create for others. His a Paul George clone.

 

Wemby im afraid will be injury prone. Not many 7'4 players have long careers. That frame is not going to last against grown men.

Naw…do disagree Wemby is far and away the best player.  Seriously man, Miller absolutely vanished in some games.  That is very concerning to me.  The talent is top notch but I don’t see any killer mentality with him at all.

I really do like Miller, also Scoot too. But Wemby is generational and you take a chance on him staying healthy every fuging time if you win the lottery this year. I just hope we get a top 3 pick as there’s a clear cut off after those 3.

He had a groin injury during the tourney.

 

He was the best player in college basketball during the regular season.

 

Wemby is great and a true unicorn, but his height and frame will be concerning long term.

 

Even Holmgreen got injured before the season last year. Those tall thin guys are just not built to last longterm.

Valid points.  Wasn’t aware of the injury.  Now if the Hornets ended up with Miller I would be excited.  Pretty big drop off after the first 3 for me.

Oh im not saying Wemby won't be the #1 pick. Im saying longterm Brandon Miller will be the best player in this draft class. I just don't trust Wemby will have a long career at that height and frame. He's gonna have a hard time adjusting to physical bigs.

You know IMO if we miss on the top 3 we need to look at guards.  Might sound nuts cuz we can use a wing but we need to start thinking about the day when Ball moves on.  It’s inevitable IMO.

Can’t even take Miller with his gun antics. It was an embarrassment he was allowed to play the season out and do that ridiculous pat down intro after a young lady was murdered and he brought the gun. He dodged a big charge on some technicalities and his boy taking a charge. We already have enough dudes in the room that think they’re cute flirting with ruining their own career. Whoever takes Miller Top 5 deserves him.

Good points in this thread. Money brings the monster out of a man. Money doesn’t change your mindset if it’s not already focused on making a difference.

There wasn't really any misconduct on Miller's part. Teammate left the gun in his car and he returned it. He'd been doing that pat down intro all year. It was a bad oversight not to drop it but nowhere near as recklessly stupid as Miles or even Bouk and Trez committing actual crimes.

Do you fr fr believe that Miller didn’t know he had that gun in his vehicle and drove it to his homie after he said he needed it, obviously bc he was twisted up somehow? He texted the man to bring it and he brought it but the only thing he did that was smart was have a fall homie with him who is going to get heavily, heavily compensated for taking the charge. Dude was accessory to a murder.

That is a hell of an accusation you might want to be careful throwing poo that serious around. People getting sued for spreading poo online these days.

He knew he had the gun. It belonged to his friend who asked him to bring it to him which he did. He has been cleared because there isn’t anything criminal about that. People can legally own guns and it’s not a crime to bring a gun to its legal owner. The friend who decided to then shoot the victim is a terrible person and 100% at fault.

Perhaps if the Hornets aren't going to be good ON the court, maybe we could get someone who will be good OFF the court. Just a thought.
