The JHS Hype Thread

JHS survived the trade deadline. Now I sit patiently crossing my fingers he survives getting waived.
 
Damn I know he probably wouldn’t turn into a great player or anything, but I’m bummed we waived him. Especially since we’re tanking this year. Poor guy’s back must be cooked.
 
This is where the actual cruelty of this business lies.

Dennis Schroeder or whoever vet bitching about modern day slavery becaue they have to move their family to another location is just them being snowflakes. Sure its not fun, but companies also relocate their offices or workers and those regular Joes who get relocated dont have millions of dollars or armies of professionals supporting their relocation processes.

However discarding a young "fresh graduate" with injury being part of the basis is something much more horrible and something where sports set the bar MUCH lower than business world. Employers in most countries are liable for injuries suffered at work, and they cant just discard people because they have an injury that causes rehabilitation period or "decreases their efficiency in their role" which is what the logic in NBA largely is. Perimanent disability is a different story and both sports and business have systems in place to help people who end up in that situation, but thats rather rare in both instances.
