[lawdog1]

So, maybe we shouldn’t rule D Wade out of the playoffs yet. Pistons don’t really seem to want that last spot...

Nike 'won't respond' to new Avenatti accusations, including alleged bribe to Zion Williamson's mom

Attorney Michael Avenatti on Saturday tweeted a link to evidence he claims shows "Nike bribed players to attend 'Nike' colleges."

He also made allegations against Duke University's Zion Williamson.

Nike says it won't respond to "allegations of an individual facing federal charges of fraud and extortion and aid in his disgraceful attempts to distract from the athletes on the court at the height of the [NCAA] tournament."

Nike says it won't respond to the latest allegations by celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti that the sneaker maker made illicit payments to the families of high school athletes to lure them to certain "Nike" colleges, including that of now Duke University player Zion Williamson.

On Saturday, Avenatti dumped 41-pages of documents on Twitter which he claimed are "evidence showing Nike bribed players to attend 'Nike' colleges." He also made allegations claiming Williamson's mother, Sharonda Sampson, received payments from Nike during her son's recruitment when he was attending high school in South Carolina.

"This evidence is now in the hands of law enforcement," he said. "Still waiting for Nike to deny they paid bribes and lied to the government for years about it. They know they did it and are guilty as hell."

Williamson is not named in the weekend document dump, but Avenatti posted allegations on Twitter.

I always found it interesting as to all companies that sponsor teams in the NCAA do exactly what Avenatti is stating, yet only Adidas got busted for doing it.

Im gonna assume he’s only doing this to get a plea bargain that will avoid jail time.

More than likely. He's got to show and prove.

I love the way the Nets play basketball

Why waive guys now? They can’t sign anyone that can play in the playoffs.

That’s a weird move. He’s a decent 3&D guy from what I see

I sense a little bias in this statement.

 

[pmatic]

He must've done something in the locker room.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

They’re not going to the playoffs...which means its cost cutting season for the Heat. If another team claims him, they avoid the luxury tax.

Would any team claim him now at the very end of the season? Seems like a waste of time but if they think it’s worth a shot to try I get that too.

He's hurt though now

McGruder is not playoff-eligible, but a team claiming him would get his Early Bird rights, an incentive for another team to claim him.

I don’t understand why the Pistons legit seem to not even care.
