You're right tho, it's his defense or lack there of. Statistics would prove you wrong there, as much as I'd rather believe the opposite, considering I drafted him (and am regretting it) in all 5 of my leagues. They're also 4-2 without him, compared to 1-3 with him. But I don't care to argue, since this is one debate I would take no joy in winning. As long as MPJ's healthy and dropping 30-10 games (well, just healthy), I don't really care whether the Nuggets are better or worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be a bad business decision at the time although it seems it's playing out greatly for Detroit. They gave him same amount which was fair and he would never get so many shots in Denver (and righfully so) so on top of overpaying you would have everyone complaining why they did that for a role player. Porter is the better offensive talent of the 2 so the shots would still go to his direction or a split which would hurt both. In my opinion Porter is a generational talent, i don't remember such a long and talented scorer after Durant joined the league. He has many issues to fix on defensive end, but he will get better eventually. I agree with Craig, but probably they knew they didn't have any playing time to give him. They have given Dozier his minutes. Edited January 11 by RipCity0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MWon 1,762 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Geez. They pretty much straight up just said Robert Williams got it a week ago, and I think some of the Kings, like Hield, had it in the preseason, and reported it early. It's sorta whatever, since as long as MPJ recovers, he should be back within a week or two anyway. Still a little annoying that it took this long to confirm what we've all been suspecting (given he was cleared and then suspiciously re-quarantined, which I don't think any other player went through). I guess it's his business to divulge or not, but on the plus side, maybe he'll be immune to future waves of the virus? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a guess, but perhaps what happened was he was out for contract tracing at first, then it turned out he had actually contracted the virus and tested positive soon after isolating. I'm assuming that was when he was listed as out indefinitely the "second" time. Edited January 13 by OriolesMagic 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayrifeek 125 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I mean he could be back jan 17 which is in 4 days, so I don't think anyone is worth the add now. unless you need someone for 1 or 2 games. 9 minutes ago, TheBoondocks said: So who is the add here?

So he's pretty "safe" to not get it again right? Can't imagine him getting it a 3rd time. If he does, just dump him in a hazmat suit or something and throw him out there.

The guy is on record claiming the pandemic is a hoax ("population control") and that he's opposed to vaccination. Some folks decided to steer clear of him on draft day because of the inherent risk with his carelessness in regards to catching the 'vid and missing a bunch of games. Guess they weren't wrong.
