Weird. I hadn't heard anything about that. Based on the few reports I just read, it's part of a "work release" program that requires him to not leave the state and to wear a GPS when outside of the detention facility. I'm assuming that it's just a condition that his (well-paid) lawyers worked into his guilty plea.

I just read up it on cause I was curious.

He was cited for a DUI or DUII whatever the abbreviation is as a member of the pistons.
He plead guilty to the lesser charge of allowing someone else to operate his vechile whom was intoxicated.
His lawyer said due to him being a professional basketball player, he was released from his probation so long as he completes a 25 day 'intensive program'. As well as complies with the rules.(whatever those rules are idk, assume no driving at least).
I wonder if someone who didn't have millions to pay a lawyer could get a sentence like this. Cause imo no one should get off that easy.
I had two people close to me hit by drunk drivers when they were children. Still effects one of them to this day and he's now 33 with kids of his own.

It doesn't really matter. My point stands. Napier is BARELY above the x-axis.

The real line of interest is that downward sloping diagonal line. That's NBA equivalent of the Mendoza line. The further to the right and above that line, the more positive your total contributions.

It just illustrates what anyone who actually watches the games should already know. Dame is our best player and it's not even close.

Funny you say that about the line as it doesn't look like it matches the data at all.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
BNM is right on this. Further you are to the top/right of the line, the more positive your contributions are. Further you are to the bottom/left of the line, the more you suck.

If you're on the line - the offensive and defensive contributions are offset by one another. (If you're on the bottom right quadrant - and on the line - you score a lot of points, but you also give up just as many as you score).

OK, I thought it was a match of the blazer data.

LOL. barely. The x-axis goes right through his shoulders.

But who's to say what point he is affixed to? What part of the picture is the point? I'd wager to say his shoulders aren't it. I'd choose the very center of the pic.

I wondered the same, so a month ago, I compared to the actual stats. It's the very bottom line of the picture.

Good thing Kobe retired because felons aren't allowed to hang out with rapists.
 
If you really want to trade a guard wouldn't CJ be the better choice ?
I don't think Bazz is THAT FAR from CJ offensively, and he's a better defender, but CJ must have way more trade value...

I've been thinking Bazz could be real good given enough minutes since we got him...

'Walker is exactly right. It's rare that I agree with every part of a post 100%.

One of the main complaints I see around here is that Dame and CJ are too small. Dame and Shabazz is Lilliputian by comparison.

I’m not opposed to smart moves with high percentage chances to improve the team, and if trading a guard does that, so be it.

With that said hasn it been the general consensus of the forum that we needed a solid back pg to provide a solid three guard rotation?

Now it seems we are starting to have that and now we need to trade one of them????

McCollum has a 5 foot 3 BBIQ. But sure, when he goes, I'd love to get a 6-6 SG for him. Meanwhile, Napier is just as effective as McCollum on offense, and better at defense.
 
Rastapopoulos said:
Obviously he wouldn't start at SG - he would take ALL the backup PG minutes (including the ones CJ had). No CJ or Turner trying to play point.

So Turner and Pat at 2G? Or are you figuring some time for Dame there (in which case we’re still talking some Lilliput time)?
