People are missing the point here. if the Celts fire ime they may have to pay him and people still would have gone digging.

Celts suspended him as a placeholder. That's obvious. They don't owe it to ime to fire him and pay the rest of his contract.

NAH IF HE VIOLATED THE
TERMS OF HIS CONTRACT
THEY CAN FIRE HIM WITHOUT PAY.

THEY CLAIM IT WAS MUTIPLE VIOLATIONS SO ITS AN EASY WIN.

If Boston had fired him and said it was for violating their code of conduct or said he took a leave of absence for a personal matter and left, I don't think this story would have been as big as it is currently.

So it still goes to your point. If Boston handled this right this would have been out of the news cycle by now.

That’s idealistic.

He cheated on a celebrity, that alone changes the dynamic. Why do you think TMZ and these entertainment reporters and gossip blogs are all talking about this?

This fantasy world where people would’ve just taken this at face value and not gone digging is just that. With the circumstances involved, this story was always going to blow up

Shams works mostly for Klutch sports, Woj CAA.

Ime is a CAA client

You can see it in how they leaked the story. Woj just said Ime was going to be suspended for breaking team rules. Sham’s came out and said Ime was fukking bytches.

We need to have a conversation about the nefarious way news is now reported in the NBA through Woj and Shams.

Woj in particular is a cancer and there's stories going around of how he acts like a diva at ESPN and fukks with other reporters' work. shyt is disgusting how he operates. But Shams is also a fukkboy who is out here acting like Klutch's PR.

Wish someone in the media would call this shyt out.

Seems like he did some immoral things but at the same time nothing illegal. They are basically giving him the Tiger Woods treatment.

Speaking like he did some horrible inhumane dark things and it's basically nothing.

I don’t think Matt Barnes would react that way to Tiger Woods-level accusations. That’s common in the NBA.

That's the natural assumption...but on the flip side, based on how he reacted to Derek fisher, he may well also have withdrawn his support after he heard about the cheating.

The only person I haven't been able to reconcile is Richard Jefferson, who was ver focused on the word consensual....

They are probably completing the legal side and then he'll get fired.

IT SEEMS MORE LIKE
THEY WANTED TO RUN HIS NAME
THROUGH THE MUD WITH THIS
PUBLIC SHAMING SO HE CAN
NEVER GET HIRED AGAIN...

A QUICK, QUIET FIRING
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM A
NEW GIG IN NO TIME.

LIKE I SAID HE GOT TOO
COMFORTABLE & BOSTON GONNA
GIVE HIM HIS WAKE UP CALL.

Whatever he did was enough for disciplinary action but not out right contract termination so we dealing with some grey area stuff.. And also not serious enough for the league to step in and lead the charge and just let the celtics handle it. Whole thing screams personal vendetta at this point.

He attaches his name to other people's scoops even when he didn't do shyt. Dude is shady.

Amin Elhassan has tried calling him out

Journalism in the social media age is all about being first. They don't care if they have all the facts, if the report is incomplete, how it could affect the people involved, just put it out as fast as you can so you can have the clout of being able to say you were first.

Also Woj was known as a clown when he was working for Yahoo before the "Woj bomb" shyt took off, he was known for writing hit-pieces on the people who wouldn't give him intel, most notably LeBron and Rich Paul. And Shams got put on working under Woj if I remember right too

Unless the Celtics were in the wrong too, and would be exposed to a lawsuit from Ime or someone else.
