No thread about the Filipowski fiasco?

Seems real weird to me. But also not my business. He’s a grown man now, and will have to navigate this as one. At my age I try to avoid rubbernecking. His family has legal recourse if they can show he’s been prey, but my limited knowledge of this stuff is that it’s very difficult to win in court.
 
I was teaching Sunday school a couple weeks ago and a story was shared about someone being disowned by their family for joining the 'Mormon' (my) church and she was warmly welcomed and encouraged. It is not the first time I have heard similar stories, in fact it is almost a right of passage in the church. As for the dating while in high school, if she follows her beliefs, no way they broke the law.
 
I will say I have seen plenty of cases where the family overreacts to a son or daughter joining the church. Also in any relationship a spouse many times will follow the other into his or her religion. I don’t have all the facts so I can’t say one way or another. It’s all speculation here from us.
 
And the background teams do into these players is crazy. I'm sure all these teams talked to his family. He might have dropped more because of the toxic situation with his family got revealed, not because of the girlfriend (directly). Every family has some secrets, just imagine getting interviewed about it. Probably made for a lot of weird interviews with him.

I know when I was reading the family's alleged tweets they said something along the lines of they tried to tell the people at Duke but they didn't do anything. So yeah, drafting Filipowski might means you have to deal with his family.
 
How convenient that there is a team that plays four blocks away from the Mormon temple, owned by a member of that same church (i think) which needs a PF/C player. His family sounds like a bunch of Karen's to me. They think she is gold digging, well they ain't getting squat with the way they are handling this.

How involved are family when players enter the NBA anyway? Don’t they spend most of their time with a girlfriend or simply just random girls?

I would’ve thought having a solid girlfriend should actually be a positive.
