[Brad Turner] Miles Bridges is reportedly a fan of how the Clippers are willing to give players second chances. “People close to Bridges said that after seeing how Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been willing to give players second chances, the team would be a great fit for him.

Wouldnt trade for him tbh
IDK man. I’m not someone who follows the larger basketball world very closely, and I’m getting kinda sick of typing “what did [player name] do” into google…
E – and I REALLY don’t like that we have moved from picking up guys who had weird relationships with their teams (Bones, Kai), to guys like Primo, to guys who like to tune up on women when they aren’t playing basketball.
What has Miles Bridges done to earn a second chance?
Of course! Who wouldn’t!?
lol….
look. he’d be an upgrade over mann. but damn dude
It’s his and KPJs best chance at reforming their careers so I’m not shocked either would say that.
its happening
He’s a 26 year old 20 ppg scorer idk how anyone could be against getting him after PG left
This the toughness yall cried about whenever someone said to trade Morris during that 2021-22 season 😂
Ppl need to understand. What these guys did is horrible. No one is condoning it at all. You can agree or disagree what our team is doing but its sports. Talent usually wins over everything. That’s the reality. I guarantee you when bridges yams it on someone or has a 40pt game the same ppl shitting on him will be the same ppl rooting for him. Its a sad reality.
Do we want him or does he want us cause wtf even is this point
Guess it’s up to us as fans to boo these fuckers since no one else wants to hold them accountable
clippers def invited the hot takes but if they feel they can get a steal of a deal it would make sense
The moral of the story is that you can get away with being a shitty person and a total monster so long as you have a marketable skill that helps rich people acquire more wealth. Bridges has time left in his life to change for the better, but as of right now he has clearly not reformed himself, and it’s been less than a year since he violated his probation and the protective order.
It’s a matter if you want to win.
I’m not saying that I condone any of the actions of these signings, but some should get a chance to redeem themselves if they’ve served their time. How can people be rehabilitated if they’re not given a second chance? I’ve always respected Ballmer in that regard, because it’s not just the reclamation project players, but it’s also investing in the disenfranchised communities. Whether he’s doing it for the optics, or to get players on the cheap he’s not completely ostracizing them because of their past transgressions or locations.
I’m not wearing a Bridges, KPJ, or Primo jersey, but if they sacrifice, learn, and contribute to being better citizens then I’m willing to let them wear the jersey.
This is Ballmer’s [site](https://usafacts.org/about-usafacts/) and it shows what he’s about. He’s about accessible data. I remember when he left Microsoft and did an interview about his mission with the site and have respected him since.
Bro what the actual fuck, man… This FO is really making it hard to support this team. I don’t want to watch players like Bridges, KPJ and Primo.

Who have we given second chances too? In some sense we gave a second chance to Lou Will, Nic Batum, & John Wall since they were all planning on or thinking about retiring instead of joining us. Those are all very different from the type of second chance he’s looking for.
May as well get Giddey too, the Los Angeles Abusers
Give him the lowest contract you can offer him and see if he’s still a fan of second chances.
Y’all dissing him but Air Felon is really good at putting the ball in the hoop
Kobe raped a woman
This Clippers off-season. More twists and turns than a Doc Rivers coached playoff series.
We have a reputation of rehoming domestic abusers. Didnt think it could get much worse
Literally us watching this team this year at this point ..
Fans: 😡 📣👏🏽
Lord help us if harden takes these dudes to the club…
Nobody is perfect. Why can’t they have a second chance?
Michael Jordan wasn’t a great teammate and punched Steve Kerr.
Kobe Bryant was accused of raping a woman.
Karl Malone impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20.
I think Jeff Van Gundy is capable of fixing players. After Latrell Sprewell choked PJ Carlesimo, Latrell found a home with the New York Knicks and made the Finals as an 8th seed. JVG is the same guy who hung onto Alonzo Mourning’s leg while fighting former Hornets teammate, Larry Johnson.
Remember in 1995, the Bulls took a chance on Dennis Rodman to replace Horace Grant. It was risky at the time. They won three straight more. Stephen Jackson won a ring in San Antonio. We know what a bonehead he can be. There’s a lot of boneheads who got another chance and won a ring. JR Smith won 2 rings with LeBron.
Ron Artest ignited the Malice in the Palace, got suspended for the rest of the season, and then won a ring with the Lakers in 2010. Lamar Odom did tons of cocaine and he won 2 rings. Who cares if they have shitty personalities? We need them for their TALENT. It’s not like we’re recruiting 1994 OJ Simpson here.
Second chance Steve
Let’s be real here. At the end of the day this is a business. The only way we are able to get young, good talent is to take on castaways in hopes of hitting on one cause our draft picks belong to other teams for what seems like the next 25 years. Bones, Primo, KPJ, Kai and now Bridges have all shown some promise and potential, so imo worth the gamble cause really have no other way to get young prospects.
Growing up in LA I’ve always loved the lakers but still supported the clippers. In fact, a clipper game was the first time I saw a game in person (against the Celtics, we lost).
If they sign him, I think I’m done.
