Clippers are a Bridges signing away from being referred to as "good people". Love it.

Primo hasnāt been on the team since before the playoffs and there were no reports of him doing anything problematic while he was with the Clippers.
I didnāt know that Bridges is under consideration by the Clippers until your post and itās very concerning to me, especially with Porter Jr. already in the fold. I donāt like it at all. For now, Iām just going to hope Bridges doesnāt happen.
I think domestic violence is reprehensible. If I was the owner of the team I donāt think Iād allow signing anyone with a track record that included DV incidents.
At the same time, I can see the logic of an argument that people shouldnāt be forever condemned over a single incident and should be given an opportunity to change. And if someone isnāt in the law enforcement system or banned by the league, an individual team shouldnāt be the party to judge/penalize them. This is the logic Iām using to reconcile the KPJ signing.
But Bridges too, since I believe heās a multiple time offender, I canāt support that at all.
*Unfortunately, Iāve already had to give thought to these concepts because of situations with multiple former Dodgers

Clippers giving guys second chances. Refreshing to see. Reminds me of the Lakers giving Kobe a second chance after the colorado case.

What discussion are you trying to have? Let me guess. If the Lakers made these moves, Iām assuming youād stop being a Laker fan right?

I was talking to myself as much as I was to him
If it makes you feel better, the basis of that rumor is that Bridges wants to play for the Clippers, not that the clippers are actively trying to acquire him

Cool. I kind of figured that when I looked at the sources reporting the Bridges thing.If it makes you feel better, the basis of that rumor is that Bridges wants to play for the Clippers, not that the clippers are actively trying to acquire him

Not even trolling, im just curious. Itās an interesting discussion regarding forgiveness and sports fandom.
if yāall sign Bridges and he doesnāt do anything wrong in a clippers jersey is it ok? If KPJR does nothing wrong in a clipper jersey is the signing ok?
Since you brought up kobe, I was young when it happened and didnāt care too much. If it happened when I was my current age I would look at the situation differently. With that said, I donāt believe Kobe raped her, I think it was a $ play, but even if you look at the situation like I do, it doesnāt erase what happened, itāll always be there. Kobe was basically a model citizen after that point but that doesnāt absolve him of the case.
I look at domestic violence thru a different lense. It would be hard for me to support a player like that on my team. This isnāt some social Justice warrior **** though. Like Jaxson Hayes got a case and itās not like I stopped watching the lakers because of it. Ultimately weāre just fans, we donāt control what our teams do. Most of us have been fans for 20+ years, what are we supposed to do? Stop being fans because our owner signed some dickheads? IDK. ballmer doesnāt give a **** so why should clipper fans? It just feels slimey.

Great hires by the warriors. Lakers couldāve used both, but I doubt they wanted to coach under JJ.
