Like I said, I'll wait for 11/4 to see who's on the roster

Miller wont be. He's officially GONE**

I agree with that sentiment, it’s just the timing that sucks

I hate that quote, but even worse point shaving is literally "trying less"**

Unfortunately, there may be some element of truth to the quote. In this

College b-ball point shaving has happened quite a few times in the past.
reestuart • 10/23/24 01:39 PM ET
I knew it happened a couple different times. I picked those 2 examples

Yes, it was done really well. It may even be one of the best 30 for 30s

It's the newest NIL contract. A gambler to pay you to slack off.
