He apparently was throwing billard balls at his ex car with the kids in the car.  He should be locked up.  The Hornets doing nothing about this is disgusting.  

If he is convicted, he will be locked up. When there are accusations, we have a trial where we do our best to ascertain guilt. Then, based on the ruling, we determine a punishment. Welcome to America.

I'd rather have a bad NFL team than no NFL team.

Sacramento made the playoffs last season

his suspension will likely get extended from 10 games all the way to 12

Adam Silver simply does not mess around

I disagree. I think Silver will make an example here because honestly no one cares about the Hornets outside of NC.

He's not gonna do too much to jeopardize the next Laker's career

Good article that sums up my feelings. The team is fugging up royally trying to sweep this under the rug.

Silver looks like a ghoul from some fantasy or horror movie. Good on Chuck for bringing it up.

As for Bridges, if he plays, I won't watch.

So real talk, regardless of everyone’s opinion, what is the expectation for Miles? Does he play for the Hornets this year?

Unless something significant goes down at his pending court appearance next week - yes

Belief is he'll play without limitations after the current suspension assuming he stays out of further trouble (not sure that's a fair assumption though). My expectations of him are honestly kinda low though, a full year off the court and having all those distractions I don't expect him to be as dominant as he was 2 years ago. Somewhere in between his 20-21 season and his 21-22 season.

 

If he can play anything like 2 years ago that would be insanely huge for this team. We were looking like a legit 5 or 6 seed that year with healthy Melo and Miles carrying the team and many of the other same pieces still here with PJ, Terry, Hayward (albeit different coaching staff). Unfortunately injuries hit us and derailed our season a bit, dropping us to play-in round and ensuing blowout loss. And now this season we have most of the same pieces that had us playing great ball that year, but with LaMelo and PJ being better AND adding Mark and Miller. 

The talent is there, and if Clifford can't make this team a top 6 seed he's gotta be replaced. Never should've been hired really but here we are with him.

Miles Bridges Speaks on Future with Hornets

 

“It’s still the same,” Bridges responded when asked about his upcoming free agency. “I would love to be here. It’s my plan to be here. I love the city of Charlotte. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I grew up here. I’ve been here since I was 20. I’ve been through a lot here and the Hornets stayed down on me when they didn’t have to. It’s like a family to me here. My mom loves it here, my family loves it here. It’s home to me.

“You don’t see too many people finishing their careers (where they started). Steph (Curry) he’s kind of been that model player for this generation. A lot of people be moving teams and moving around. I don’t want to do that. I want to be like Step, Kobe, and Dirk in that type of way - staying with a team and winning with a team.”
