it's just pot. It will eventually be legal in all of the U.S. and people will be scratching their heads wondering why it was ever illegal in the first place.
Sanders can still turn his career around. He was a DPOY contender just a few years ago... If he's bought out, he'll most likely sign for a near minimum contract on a contender. Spurs could use some shot blocking when Duncan isn't on the floor. This would also mean Ayres is another step closer in getting waived.
No and NO, and they won't go after him anyways so again NO.
no. The guy is lazy as like Bynum.
He is an unreformable piece of trash
BaamMaybe next season if he looks to be on the right path. I liked (not loved) his play when he was good, but now, it's not worth it.
to those who thought Sanders' deal was better than Splitter's.
good times
Yeah sure let's accept professional athletes paid millions being drug addicts. yes. Sure love American sport

I rather sign Greg Oden tbh
he'd be a great post duncan fit, but uh pass.
This thread
Owners should really use this guy as an example in the next CBA talks.
A guy gets a 44m contract and wants a buyout in the first year of it because he wants to use marijuana WTF. Seriously, it's pathetic. His contract should be voided.

Dumb it has nothing to do with bball. If Splitter had a career ending injury I certainly wouldn't brag about seeing into the future...Maybe next season if he looks to be on the right path. I liked (not loved) his play when he was good, but now, it's not worth it.
If player x gets injured after signing a double digit contract then no one would brag about it obviously. lol
Your poor basketball takes aren't enough it seems. Keep digging tbh.
It's not just the dope. Word from his inner circle is that he just isn't that interested in basketball.

Ricky Williams 2.0?
Lol come on man. Sanders had these problems before the extension. Plus using drugs is not the same thing as getting injured.
Yes, it's just pot. But when you're making eight figures to play a sport you better be clean as a whistle or be able to perform under the influence (see LT, Tim Rock Raines, the 86 Mets, David Wells' hungover perfect game). The law and your employer can and should hold you to different standards. If drinking were impacting your job, even indirectly, would you get a free pass at any decent job? Now all he's done is wasted 15-20% of the team's cap space for the next few years.
Baam digging that hole deeper. Still dreaming of a future Spurs team featuring Sanders, Lance, and the Lopez brothers.
No, but they sure could use Larry David!
Who said he was an addict? Professional athletes go out drinking all the time or have a couple of beers/wine at night, that do not make them alcoholics. Pot is less addictive than alcohol and less dangerous than cigarettes. Getting a DUI (Buford) is infinitely worse than smoking pot a couple times a week.
Yeah Sanders definitely has to quit to stop getting punished by the league but it's not like he was caught with guns, pulled over for drunk driving, or ODing on heroin. He can still turn in career around in the right environment. Just needs the right mentors.
He's had 4 violations of the drug policy and missed 25 games last season due to a torn ligament in his thumb suffered in an altercation at a nightclub. The guy can't be trusted with an NBA paycheck. I'm sure some team will take a chance on him, but I'm glad it won't be the Spurs.
In addition to what Mel_13 said, the issue isn't whether pot is or isn't worse than alcohol/heroin, ect., it's about the character deficiencies of continuing to use a prohibited substance despite knowing full well all the implications it has. It speaks volumes to the character of the guy who is unwilling to give up (nonaddictive) pot for 9 months a year in order to maintain an extremely lucrative job in which makes more in a year than most people will in working other jobs for 30+ years. It also speaks to the effort level Sanders would give on improving his deficiencies on the court or even doing what the coaching staff asks of him during practice/games/ect.
Of course it's not but it doesn't have to be exact to make a point. The point is that you did not foresee his drug problem and are nothing more than the proverbial blind dog finding a bone. Now you act like an adolescent who 'won' something.
The point isn't that Splitter > Sanders now that Sanders is a druggie. I'm not surprised you missed that.
Read the post again and see if you can identify the adjective 'drug.' Then try your response again, dimwit. I know it's difficult because drug is normally a noun and this time it's used as an addjective but most grade school kids have no issue so what is your problem?
