The Move Forward Plan - NO TANK DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD

[Handlogten's Heros]

Bridges red flags are just moral/availability due to the law. NBA players like him and seem to want to play with him.

Simmons red flags are effort and his mental health in relation to playing basketball, not to mention his fear of getting fouled/shooting FT's or scoring teh basketball.

Not even comparable and you continue to make the weirdest points possible just for the sake of making a stupid argument.

ok bud.

I think that is baked into his cost. On the surface he is 26 years old and averaged 21/7.3/3.3 last year.

It should be, but a 3-4 year risk versus a 1 year risk still carries some added concern for me. The guy lost his mind right before signing his first humongous contract. Not sure I'd bet on him keeping it together on a long term deal.

Simmons red flags are medically related as well as other stuff. It’s not really the same as Bridges.

You're right. Bridges' are much worse.

Like I hope the guy is reformed and changes but it would be gross. Ben being a cringy douche who only kinda likes basketball is an issue and its part of why I think he might be done, but I'd rather bet a year with almost no risk on douchebag reform.

If he's brought in, then Ryan needs to publicly reconcile the contrasting views between his public persona of social issue advocation and allowing Ainge to bring in Bridges.

I want Ashley at the presser too.

We brought in Avery Bradley to the FO and nobody batted an eye. There would be public outrage for a few days but it would die down. They would spin it as everyone deserves a second chance.

He's a billionaire.....

He's a billionaire.....

Yes, and everyone will provide cover by not asking the question but, more importantly, pretending there is no question to be asked.

No, just the idea of a morally upstanding billionaire is an oxymoron.

Yeah…Bridges doesn’t even seem to have remorse for what he did. He committed a heinous, violent crime.

Ben has red flags if you’re treating him like a superstar player. Taking a flier on Ben on a one year deal (that leaves us in a better future cap situation anyways) is not really a red flag.

They should not be compared.
