Agreed - I hope he makes the decision that pays the most dividends for his future self.
This is one of the problems I see too much of these days. Stating an opinion does not mean that person is trying to sway anyone. Too many people take opposing opinions as personal and attack without a need. Everyone has their opinion and most are neither right or wrong. It is just an opinion. What would be the difference then having these discussions in a bar or restaurant. Public is public. Are some opinions right and others wrong? Neither. Depends on how you see the situation.
Yes but you’re not immune to that either. Put players on blast (unfairly in the view of a lot) and you might get put on blast yourself. Free speech for sure, but consequences might involve others also exercising free speech. As long as you don’t mind getting ripped for saying unfair things about people, have at it. It’s a forum, as you say....
You wouldn't be demanding the attention of hundreds (thousands?) of other people.
Yup, absolutely wish him well, and hope he challenges himself in positive ways to get better as a player and a person. Getting to the NBA is insanely competitive, and there's only a handful of kids that are gifted enough to get there on auto-pilot. Miller is talented enough to get there, but he's going to have to improve significantly to make it --really could go either way for him, and this choice is a big one for his future.
And others are allowed to judge your character based on ripping 19 year olds in a public forum.
Of course. You'll notice that I said "imo" (in my opinion) in my post. I think criticizing the values/principles/character of a player based mostly on rumor is taking things too far; clearly you feel the opposite. I am not trying to suppress anybody's opinion (I don't even have the capability of doing so if I wanted), I am only suggesting that, imo, expressing those opinions on a public forum that is accessible by anyone is not in best taste. You are welcome to bash my view that publicly expressing those kinds of thoughts is going too far (as you have), just as I am welcome to bash the view that AM entering the portal somehow means he's inherently egotistical and disloyal. It cuts both ways.
Seeing as no one here is a government actor operating in that capacity, we can technically limit free speech all we want.
Considering a lucrative future is on the line, it’s understandable he’s taking his time. I’d be curious what’s really going through his head. Heady stuff for a young person.
I'd agree that guard play is the least of our worries next season, but I strongly disagree that our backcourt will be as good or better.
To be clear, shifting the conversation to something no one said to begin with holds no weight.

When the fire department has to actually call Tesla about fighting a fire with their batteries.
It took me literally 5 seconds to type something into Google and find this....supported by Tesla.
Tips on Fighting a Lithium-ion Battery Fire in an Electric Vehicle - Interesting Engineering
This video from experienced fire fighter gives you all the tips and tactics you need.
Interesting note: "It should take between 500 and 8,000 gallons of water to contain the fire and continue to cool the batteries."
It's amazing to me that the fire department lacked training and/or information on this.
So the responding fire departments in this case are going to face some interesting questions as this goes through litigation. Especially if the occupants died of smoke/fire and not impact.
Edit: sorry for the large thread drift....back to AM!
How do you fight a portal fire??
