Hope this isn’t a bosh situation. Think Ingram has a blood clot situation a few years ago and it hasn’t been a lasting issue so hopefully 🤞 the same for Wemby.

According to the agent an assistant who has a prescription offered one.

The assistant thought it was okay because up until this season it was allowed in the league.

Bobby misheard what the medication was and though it was Toradal which is still allowed and he has been taking for inflammation.

Maybe it’s BS but between the names being similar, the recent change in what’s allowed, etc. it seems like it’s believable.

~~RIP bucks season unless they’re able to appeal it and have him back for playoffs~~. Nevermind forgot there’s still 29 games left, still going to hurt since their front court is pretty thin so going to be hard to climb the standings.

Seems like the agents story is believable so maybe the appeal will work too

 

The NBA announced on Thursday that Portis violating the league's anti-drug program after testing positive for Tramadol. 

Mark Bartelstein, Portis' agent, issued a statement to ESPN's Shams Charania explaining his client "unintentionally" took Tramadol, mistakenly thinking it was Toradol.

Edit:

The Bucks chose not to appeal the suspension. Rivers told reporters that the risk of the appeal being unsuccessful and the suspension then ending later in the season was too great of a risk, even if the team disagreed with the severity of the punishment.

The current timeline has him back with a handful of regular season games, delaying it could have had him out for playoffs.

Lmao somehow the trade just keeps getting worse

This will go for a couple other players like Bruce brown but the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers can’t sign any player who was making more than the nontaxpayer midlevel exception before being waived due to being over the 1st apron.

Shai should have it covered for the most part since it’s shorter games and Giannis and Jokic will be the other ball handlers so think they’re fine.

Love the old heads vs internationals vs young guys teams think it’ll give each team a chip. Sounds like Wemby is taking it serious so I think they take it.

 

Chucks teams winning it all and it won’t be close.

Don’t think so just got cash to take/waive wiseman.

If that’s true hats off to Pelinka, to have a trade as good as that offered to you and you still manage to talk the Mavs down lol

Hornets got more draft compensation for MARK WILLIAMS then the Mavs did for Luka lmao

Been an entertaining trade deadline for sure lol.

Heat get Wiggins which they’ll like, have to see the details on the pick to fully judge this tho. Kind of forgot PJ was still in the league, is he washed?

For the warriors this was really the only trade available if you’re going to try and make a run. Maybe you get the version of butler that helps carries you to the finals and maybe this blows up but at least they went for it one last time with Steph.

Edit: can’t wait for the inevitable Draymond/Jimmy fight
