Probably the most controversial pick for obvious reasons. However he is MJ 's last pick as Majority Owner. Miller over Scoot could and can be debated for years. So how will he do.Thread should be fun

I’m rooting for him
If that NCAA tourney performance is any indication.....
But honestly, it still feels weird to talk about his basketball outlooks when a woman is dead and two men in jail in part due to decisions he made on that night. You can argue that they were grown men and Miller didn't know what they would do with the gun, but actions have consequences and anyone who still tries to argue that he didn't know he was bringing them the gun is either illiterate, wildly biased, or a full-on idiot.

His teammate was a grown man who decided to crash out

A 6'9" wing that shoots under 40% at the rim.
Yup, his teammate is 100% responsible for the decision he made.
But I've never in my life brought a gun to a crash dummy in the middle of the night when I knew he was angry and didn't know what he would do with it. And I never will.
What's the statute of limitations on talking about it? This happened, what, 5 months ago? Is she less dead yet? We can talk about IT supposedly freezing out MJ forty years ago, or Malone hitting on Kobe's wife 20 years ago, we still talk about Arenas bringing a gun into a locker room over 15 years ago, but there's a five month expiration date on bringing a gun to an imminent murder scene?
It's sportswashing. When any other famous person makes a horrible decision, they get shytted on for years, often for the entire rest of their lives (unless they produce a hit album or get elected to a new higher office, of course). But if he makes buckets for his team and becomes a great player, all will be forgiven.

It ain’t sports washing, he wasn’t charged with anything and he wasn’t an accomplice in a crime
Anything added is grandstanding, he had no idea a conflict was going on

Agreed on the spoiler part, but weren't there rumors that he was hurt in the tourny?If that NCAA tourney performance is any indication.....

This will be the song they play when announcing him at every game
Thinking someone can only be criticized if they were charged with a crime is wild. Was Ja charged with a crime? Was Kyrie charged with a crime? Was Udoka charged with a crime? Was Sarver charged with a crime? So it's okay to criticize everyone else in the NBA for their off-court behavior, just not the guy who is transporting guns to amped-up friends looking to do harm?
And the text made clear to anyone who can read that there was a conflict going on. If Miles had used less slang, and Miller had replied to the text to prove he knew about it, he would likely have been charged as accessory. The fact that there is plausible deniability that he read it and plausible deniability in what Miles's statement exactly meant are what saved him.
