The @hornets were caught off guard by today's Miles Bridges news. I'm told they were not aware until tonight. https://t.co/pHg15qA8MR

Official @hornets statement:
“We are aware of the reports and are in the process of gathering more information.”
This news could lead to big consequences. If the Hornets indeed had no idea about this, the qualifying offer signed this summer might’ve been signed under false pretenses legally. Additionally, we don’t know whether Klutch knew about this or not. The league itself may have further punishments as well, seeing as they reinstated him and gave the suspension based off the legal results of 2022’s arraignment plea.

I thought everyone was saying they were made aware in January?
How could anyone have seen this coming?
Man, if I’m Steve Clifford, I’d just quit. This organization is just pure garbage from top to bottom. And I only live 20 minutes away from it.
What a franchise
BRUH
The Hornets can’t be real
its just one thing after another for the Hornets
There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.’
Sums up the experience of being a Hornets fan
What can I say? Mitch is an honest GM:
He gets the news when we get the news.
Free Lamelo Ball
Free Eric Collins
I’m just numb at this point
Kai Jones already old news, he didn’t fuck up the worst today somehow. Hornets are unreal
Not aware huh
Surely they gotta trade for KPJ now right?
KPJ for Lamelo?
Do NBA teams not do basic background checks before making job offers? Warrants Pop on those…
They have to prove he’s the one who broke her windshield. I imagine the reason the cops have been sitting on the warrant is lack of evidence. He’d have to be dumb af to do that with the amount of cameras. Im with holding judgment until we see what happens.
I don’t know how an organization that invests millions into employees doesn’t look into every aspect of a background. This happened in January !
they dont care
Hey, they still have Brandon Miller and he’ll help you get a shot
“Wow. I Didn’t Know That. You’re Telling Me Now for the First Time… ✋😮💨🤚”
“Due diligence”, mother fucker has had an outstanding warrant got 10 God damn months
The man beat his wife and plead no contest, but now it comes out he smashed her windshield and we think there will be consequences? Idk what to say
At what point do we put the Hornets under direct NBA control like the FDIC does for failing banks
Was Miles notified of a warrant being out? He may not have been. Just because a warrant is on docket doesn’t mean the individual who is being posted knows it.
The bigger issue is he violating terms of his probation in the first place. He’s potentially in big trouble now.
10 years ago I used to say that NFL players were always on the news for the wrong things but now over the last few years the NBA players have taken the mantle of being in the news for the wrong reasons.
Well what *do* the Hornets know?
Whoever is driving the ship over there is knocked tf out
I don’t know what’s going on in Charlotte, I just know they took Gordon “mayonnaise is too spicy” Hayward and made him look the the love child of Yolandi Visser and Simple Jack.
Hornets are dragging their name thru the mud so badly they’re gonna have to go back to being the bobcats
Hornets didn’t know? Big consequences. Qualifying offer maybe fake legally. Klutch knew? League punishments too, reinstated and suspended based on 2022’s legal stuff.
Ohhhh get him outta here
Jordan left and now we are seeing the shit that man had to deal with this whole time
He needs to be out of the league. And him and his baby moms need to be moved to separate ends of the country. Its kinda ridiculous.
We all owe a debt to Charlotte for absorbing 90% of the leagues dysfunction so that the other 29 teams can thrive
Please let this be the end of him. Too many good players unsigned who don’t beat their partners or terrify their children
CRAWLING IN MY SKINNN
Bruh what is going on in Charlotte 😭
get him off the fucking team
i ran off on the plug twice!
Bro why do the hornets suck so bad at everything
Official hornets statement
“What can we say, we get all of our information at the same time as you guys. When it breaks publicly on social media”
Sounds like the Hornets need to keep better tabs on their multi-million dollar assets lmao fuck this guy get him out of the league and into a jail cell
Another L
I mean they still have Dr. Zoidberg
what a dumpster fire of an org
