The curious thing to me is that this whole process up until Monday we were told, the team and the NBA are both in fact finding mode and will have no comment until their internal investigations are concluded. Now the case is pushed back 3 months. I kind of wonder if those investigations are all concluded and they are just waiting on what the judge determines. If that’s the case I feel like they don’t have enough information right now to terminate ties with him. However they could have assumed they were going to have a continuance, or had prior knowledge.
At least on the NBA’s side. The hornets, maybe they still think they can get something out of him in a trade to prevent him from hitting free agency. But it feels like there is going to be new information coming out that will change how this might look
I just genuinely don’t think they’re gonna trade him. This has been their plan for the past 2 years whether we like it or not. It’s been their plan back in the summer the original incident happened to bring him back and that got delayed a year so here we are now. They’re just not gonna move on from him because of his off the court stuff ESPECIALLY if he comes out playing like he never left. That’ll be a tough pill to swallow for most but at the end of the day the NBA is a business
he has a contract signed and given that he’s currently not guilty of anything in the court of law they won’t cut him
