Feel like Silver had no choice but to do this. Someone expendable to the league so might as well give the harshest punishment possible to hopefully create a deterrent.

Don’t see the issue with it all. Involving your own participation is an obvious no-no.

There's no way MPJ wasn't giving him info before he made the league. This is gonna end up going like the Ohtani cover up though.
It's a shame. 'Tay was just hitting his stride. He was gonna be an all star in the league.

Just imagine, MPJ had the audacity to talk **** about another person having a **** up as a brother
One of his brothers killed someone because they drove drunk
Another one threw his career away because of a gambling problem

Absolutely.
And it happens to be a perfect opportunity for the league to do something related to gambling that gives the appearance of “we take this really seriously and won’t tolerate behavior like this” while not having it impact anyone who is actually of consequence to the league.

It does but that’s a straw man argument too. Where’s the high profile guy who got a pass being this brazen?

It’s all the **** you absolutely aren’t supposed to do with gambling as an athlete 
No other choice if you’re Silver.

Jontay can definitely spin this incident into a gambling podcast.

There hasn’t been one as far as any of us know. And if it never happens, the NBA can attribute it to swiftly dropping the hammer on Porter and making an example of him.

Is he banned from sportsbooks too? That'll be the real penalty. Shouldn't this be jailtime for him, too?

He clearly wasn't experienced in the underworld. Cause throwing away a journey man career for 21k has to be the dumbest thing you can do. This is why people who don't come from the mud should leave certain things alone cause they ain't built for it.

Perfect example for the league. Still nasty work.

Watch that man move. It ain’t the same.
He’ll latch on somewhere as a role guy - if GS doesn’t keep him on a discounted rate - but he’s been visibly miserable all year long and has admitted constantly he’s having a hard time mentally with accepting who he is at this stage.
Cool - he can still shoot a solid percentage from 3… he gives you nothing else offensively and his defense fell off a cliff with all those leg injuries. There just ain’t much left.
