Griner pleads guilty to drug charges in Russia

Detained WNBA star Brittney Griner has pleaded guilty to drug charges in a Russian court that could result in a 10-year prison sentence, saying "there was no intent" and that "I didn't want to break the law."

Yo

They were saying she first has to admit guilt if to do a prisoner exchange
But who knows what will happen and how long this whole process will entail

 

[Cashflow]

She might have to just do that bid. I don't know about trading someone called the Merchant of Death.

 

[B Sox]

Guilty plea makes sense. She obviously did it, and it’s the first step in order to try to get exchanged.

Saginaw toughness?

Even if Griner did it or did not do it, she was expected to plead guilty. The Russians won't be willing to negotiate her release if she tried to drag this out.

Exactly. The trade machine got dudes delusional thinking an exchange should be easy to work out. Joe is not trying to get fleeced out here

Yup... Would assume she isn't taking any action there without some guidance at this point.

If Rob Pelinka was negotiating Griner's release, he'd give away California to Russia.

We need Ainge in the negotiations lol

 

[getback]

Yeah she might have to eat that bid. I'm not exchanging some notorious terrorism facilitator.

Unless they can pull a Rickon Stark move on him after the hand off.

Interestingly, as was the case with the white music appreciation session we had, this Caucasian NBA player celebration can be traced back to @antidope

Word, all this adding up lead me to believe that all his anti flag rhetoric and racoon meat talking points is just a facade in a complex and elaborate plan in order to reinforce the maga propaganda on here. Don't get fooled, aepps20 and him are in cahoots.
Stay woke

The listing of Batum contradicts the tweet

I'm not certain that Durant gets traded at all. It seems like there's a mismatch between what Brooklyn wants and what teams are willing to offer.

1. Miami and Phoenix don't have attractive offers for Durant.

2. The other teams who could put together more attractive offers have to worry about Durant wanting to be there. I wouldn't got my roster knowing that Durant could just ask for another trade in 12 months.

3. I don't think Durant is the type of guy to pull a Ben Simmons or James harden and sit out and/or sandbag and waste a year of his prime. If the nets don't trade him, he's 100% going to play basketball next year.
