Hornets trade Miles Bridges to Suns for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale
I wrote about what it would mean for the Suns to trade for Miles Bridges 2 and a half years ago when these rumors first started popping up. My feelings haven’t really changed on the matter:
Gerald Bourguet68If you want to just focus on basketball, that’s your prerogative. But I will fire back at any Suns fan who tells anybody else to just sweep those domestic abuse accusations under the rug because they want to enjoy their team guilt-free.
𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟𝕟𝕪𝕌𝕠𝕗𝔸𝕟𝕘𝕤𝕥14Don’t ever apologize for having standards. It really sucks the Suns owner can’t see any of this.
Hemishh12I feel sick about this.
Abby Sliva8Thank you for writing this. It means a lot as a female fan of the NBA to see male writers directly addressing these things instead of writing through euphemisms and ignoring it.
Mary Angulo6Thank you dude! Glad to see someone is saying the quiet part out loud
JoGo4I’m with you. This is depressing and infuriating.
Katie Heindl28“Sports — and the entertainment industry at large — are big on second chances. Or, someone famous laying low long enough for people to forget the reprehensible things they’ve been accused of.”
Mike Anguilano6This is the only thing you need to read about the Suns trading for Miles Bridges.
JCsPops (Fuck Mango Mussolini)6I normally clip out the portion of pieces I read that hit me the hardest. Gerald’s words hit so hard that you need to read them yourself. Thank you, once again, for this.
Pierce5Disgusting move by the suns. Shameful for all involved in the decision.
Rebuckets4WAY bigger than basketball., indeed. Glad he isn't a Nugget, but mad he's still in the league.
Lance Hartzler3Gerald on point with it here as always
Hammertime, mostly Suns3I believe firmly in 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) chances. But agree w GB that accountability doesn’t happen on the court (or not only there). Still gonna root for the team but it’s fair to say we’ve formally lost any claim to “ethical hoops.”
Paul Dawkins 🍉2If video had leaked of Miles Bridges abusing the mother of his children, Adam Silver and the NBA would have moved at light speed to ban him. Absent video footage, the league expects us to get over it. Screw that. He shouldn't be in the NBA. And no, Suns fans, you don't have to make excuses for him.
Brady J. Kellogg2Yeah I’m going full in on the Jazz this season. The Suns spent all this time talking about how character matters and rebuilt the goodwill after the KD shitshow ended with a fun, young team that overachieved all season only to piss it all away by trading for an (alleged) woman beater. Fuck this.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
SLC Unc19It's always been fuck the Phoenix Suns. Now it's mega fuck the Phoenix Suns.
carrie carrarium 🏕️10I CAN ROOT FOR THE HORNETS NOW LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Darin Gantt9This feels like Step 3 in the preamble of what they’re eventually doing, so I’m going to hold off falling for any of these people.
Luke Knox8if Royce O’Neale went by his middle name, he’d be Khalil O’Neale
Marcus6Been off the grid most of the day, living my life, and just saw this. And since Ball and Bridges have now been traded I am convinced someone in the Hornets front office has been taking notes on my skeets. It’s a good day to be a Hornets fan as they take out the trash this week. #NBASky
terry6holy shit they’re making it ok to support the hornets. i was not prepared for this
Sexto Hombre6Los Suns pasan a ser franquicia non grata en lo que a mí respecta. Felicidades a los aficionados de los Hornets que aunque puedan perder en lo deportivo se quitan la ignominia de tener a tamaña basura en sus filas.
Albuquerquiches6Shame on you Phoenix Suns.
Shoulders5Miles Bridges should be in prison pass it on
juan4Goddamn this sucks. Idc if he’s good at basketball dude shouldn’t even be in the league.
