Marquette NBA Thread

[Herman Cain]

With Griffin and Johnson back and with Dekker on bench, Jamil's fate was sealed.

Doc said it was because they were short on shooting guards do to injury. So they had to waive Jamil in order to activate another shooting guard. Jamil has a two year two way deal so some other team could step into that.

Of course, with Griffin, Johnson and Dekker, they had an overload at that position, so Wilson was odd man out.  He may get another chance, may not, gave it his best shot.    Least Dwight Buycks had a career game tonight.

Bucks are releasing Liggins. Perhaps a homecoming for Jamil?

I think Kilpatrick took the last spot.

Saw a tweet from an NBA reporter that the Lakers are front runners to sign Jamil now, and by saying front runner it seems the Lakers aren?t the only interested team. Good news for Jamil.

This article lays out some of the possible options for Jamil. The good news is he made the most of his opportunity when he had it.

With Griffin and Johnson back and with Dekker on bench, Jamil's fate was sealed.

Pelton reporting that it was also largely luxury tax driven, which coaches/ownership are always loathe to mention:

With an open roster spot, the obvious move would have been to convert one of their contracts. But even so much as signing Wilson or Williams to a 10-day contract would have pushed the Clippers into the luxury tax. So instead of trading little-used Brice Johnson to create the necessary flexibility -- a move that might require attaching a draft pick since the Clippers can't cover his salary with cash, having used most of their limit to buy draft picks -- they simply waived Wilson.

Supposedly they needed a 3 pt shooter and that is what he was doing for the Clippers

They need a 3 point shooter and Jamil has been doing well in that regard. He also played for the Lakers summer team two years ago , so he was known to their organization. Jamil is a good guy , who will work within the team concept and that is what Luke Walton is looking for.

Timing of this is suspect.

Hope it's not true but seems like this would be a hard one to defend. If they both have the disease, they both admit to having sex, and can prove that he had the disease before her seems like a civil court would probably find him responsible.

Assuming that all happens, couldn't he argue she was aware of the situation?

[Shark]

I thought 90% of the world had herpes or something like that?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Yes but this is Civil court. They use the "more likely than not" standard. I think they would find it more likely that Jamil didn't mention the herpes than someone willingly signed up for herpes. Could be wrong though

Jamil got screwed.

That does seem to be where all his trouble started.

[Herman Cain]

Dwight Buycks is a player that continues to improve over time. He has made steady progress each time he has transitioned From High School to JUCO to College to Overseas to G League and NBA. Obviously sticking at the highest level is a challenge.  He is making the most of his current opportunity with the Pistons. I like how he gives his all on offense and defense. If he can continue at his current level of play he may earn a full contract.

Assuming he is innocent. If he did what he is accused of then this exactly what should happen.

[Golden Avalanche]

The organization has a player who spent 25 days in a correctional detention center and was unable to travel out of state due to his criminal behavior.

Seems interesting they've drawn a line in the sand because of a civil lawsuit.
