500 hours of community service. Thats 12.5 weeks of working 40 hours per for those counting at home. I wonder what the NBA does. Ray pleaded guilty and has a felony on his perm record. Anyone remember what Arenas or Crittenton got over the Wizards thing? Anything?

I think I am happy for Raymond. He seems like a nice enough guy.

Can he do those hours remotely?! Or he had better get started this summer, otherwise, he might have a long commute!

Key difference is Arenas & Crittenton had guns in the workplace. Ray had a gun at his (former?) residence turned in by his (ex-?)wife. Guess they didn't have much evidence to the alleged brandishing/threatening.

Can't the Knicks terminate his contract for moral issues?

First Time Felon - where's Omar Epps, Trech, and Delroy Lindo(very underrated actor).

Again, if the brandishing/threatening is not an issue, what is the moral problem if it can be explained away as being crappy with paperwork?

you think he's better in that role than Prigioni?

Priggy gotta go. I like the guy, nothing personal. Just business.

Prigs is ideal as 3rd string. You need a better 2nd than Felton

To think he is our starter ugh

I have read that teams very rarely exercise moral clauses as to protect their reputation for free agents, player's agents etc. It's scary that something like that becomes a factor.

I'm not high on prigs, here you have a solid role player who can shoot, but turns down more open shots then Boris Diaw or anybody in the league for the matter. Not just open shots, but great shots, he can also finish a layup, but almost never penetrates.
