2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[Mark Antony]

Poor Nia though, I know a lot of people say they just don't want it public or want to be embarassed, this has to be the most public case of cheating in a long time. Making the news rounds, debate shows and everything.

Bruh, you’re GENERALLY a contrarian. I’m not specifically referring to this. You just have a poor take that doesn’t account for the legality of this situation. The Celtics are in CYA mode, both with respect to the victim AND Ime, which you seem not to understand.

My assumption isn’t that the Celtics have handled this correctly — it’s just that your thought that the Celtics should have fired him right now is lacking a lot. Maybe you’re not understanding the hyper litigious nature of America, I’m not sure. Or you don’t understand that a large white shoe law firm has been investigating this for months and the Celtics are likely taking guidance from them.

I don’t know what it is driving your stance on this, but you’re wrong.

if there is some legal exposure that lead the celtics to handle it they way they have,
im open to that explanation, i just haven't seen anyone spell out exactly what that is.

Where was all this energy with Derek Fisher.

 

[elpablo21]

Have time to ride bicycles. C'mon man lmao

 

[pmatic]

That's why you let him go and don't give the reason. Just let people talk.

Ya that's not gonna work. Journalists will dig into why he was let go and the org will look dumb as hell for hiding.

Did Derek Fishers have an ongoing affair with a team executive's wife?

People keep bringing up examples that aren't.

[aepps20]

Nope.

Well done. Da Jagged Edge dance moves still work.

What do you mean? Wrongful termination for Ime. I’m also sure that there’s the risk of the woman/victim here filing a suit against Ime and the team as well. All of this is about getting their legal ducks in a row right now.

 

[DripNick]

We're taking a break, seeing other people, she'll be back tho

Ship has sailed buddy, I'm the Captain now

 

[B Sox]

Imagine what the discourse would be if Celtics fire black coach and give ZERO explanation or reasoning

People can’t be serious.

 

[antidope]

There is legit a war going on right now that he’s actively involved in. How does he have time for this? Its mad unserious bro. This is DUMB.

Take your senile self into the oval office and govern.

Like I said yesterday **** happens all the time in sports organizations. They look dumb right now. It's a whole lot rumors and **** that spread throughout sports and entertainment that people don't confirm because it's better to just leave it and let people wonder.

 

[TSCQ]

this thread, I swear....

Anti and Osh cooking at the same damn time

This thread on fire right now

Buddy can't ride a bike man lol?

Imagine what the discourse would be if Celtics fire black coach for NO REASON

People can’t be serious.

Imagine the Celtics throwing a black man under the bus, putting his personal business out when they've had white boys do the same thing. Imagine that.

So what exactly would you like him to do about that war in alternative to riding a bike for 30 minutes?

 

[clyde the glide]

Loving the tone in here

Wrongful termination when it's a confirmed violation of company policy?
and according to SAS he was given a choice, resign/ take suspension...

so there doesn't seem to be a dispute that this happend
and also like SAS said, he files wrongful termination,

it gets worse for Ime not better.
discovery process im sure would be even more embarrassing
and im sure he'd never work in the NBA again

So the year suspension, after you let it leak and give all these vague statements.
to me seems goofy, it seems like a half measure splitting the baby type decision.

and if this was really done to get him to resign, that just seems like an all time
hustling backwards situation.

 

[antidope]

No. He should be in his office doing his job which is a 24/7 commitment. This isnt a supermarket the country doesnt close. He supposedly carries the most responsibility of anyone on earth yet he gets to walk around doing nonsense and taking stupid TikToks with the Jonas brothers. DUMB

Society allowing these people to become celebrities is insane. But I digress I cant change it so whatever but I surely don’t respect it.

 

[Based Jesus]

I would have been wilding when Meagan good but free agency earlier this year. Max deal at midnight like magic Johnson

All of congress would've been blackmailed into giving her a personal tax cut
Moderates would've finally gotten that bipartisan legislation they're always asking for

 

[wavycrocket]

Yea Ime opened the door so it’s on him either way.

There are layups in every city the Celtics stop in & he does overseas work with the national team sometimes in off-season. Even more layups. Choosing a subordinate is some WILD decision making.

This is all on him

Shawty had to do something, he ain’t ever had done before. Because, ain’t know way

Politicians can’t shoot their shots?

I'd never get over finding out my S/O and co-parent of my child was cheating on me through a Woj tweet
