Him playing a lot of minutes on a bad team right now with a broken jumper will only make things worse for him, and concretize the current narrative. I think if he is actually somehow miraculously able to fix his jump shot while not playing could help him to sign on with a team next season...
ATL seems to have, dare I say, historical strip clubs. Goldie's? Or maybe that was the stripper's name? Regardless, I think even comic books have been written about her. But yeah, the promotion is weird.
So IF there's expansion and an expansion draft...I could see Wright secretly dangling Fox, and if nothing hits, let him be open for the expansion draft and just walk away? Just spitballing.
How to help bad teams improve while improving competition so games don't feel meaningless...

My dumb punishment ideas with the understanding that the League isn't going to do shit (apologies if mentioned previously):

However, I do think whenever Manu was on the court, the ball moved around extremely well, even if...
