If Charlotte were to withdraw the qualifying offer to Miles Bridges as well as Harrell/IT/Scottie Lewis they could get to $8.6 in CAP space with 3 vacant roster spots.
Very few attainable FAs out there I think help this team, re-sign Cody and re-evaluate next steps – 10:01 AM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I tend to be very big on second chances, but I really have no interest in breaking down the merits of a Miles Bridges signing, even from just a basketball standpoint. Those pictures are horrible and the video is heartbreaking.
He can stay a FA for forever as far as I’m concerned. – 7:54 AM

Miles Bridges, you deserve whatever consequence is given to you. Awful, awful, awful on so many levels. – 7:31 AM

I don’t know how you find peace after being treated like that and the kids witnessing that is sickening, hope Mychelle Johnson and those kids get the support and justice they deserve. Miles Bridges is a garbage human. – 1:08 AM

If CHA moves away from Miles Bridges, so many different directions come into play. One trade concept I’m mulling:
CHA: Harrison Barnes (1 yr, $18M), Richaun Holmes (3 yrs, $36M), Justin Holiday (1 yr, $6M)
SAC: Plumlee (1 yr, $9M), Oubre (1 yr, $12.6M), Bouknight (3 yrs, $15M) – 1:53 PM

Here are five players the #Pacers should consider in free agency.
Do you think Deandre Ayton is worth the cost?

I never got the impression at any point this spring that the Grizzlies were eyeing a run at Miles Bridges. Sure as heck won’t be doing so now. – 12:29 AM
