Jabari Bird arrested

[Tr1boy]

It doesn’t look good and I suspect he’ll be cut.

nope team should not

counselling or treatment program etc

1 chance though.

So if the initial reports are true that he assaulted and strangled a woman, you think he should remain a Celtic and just get some treatment? 

[Eddie20]

Wow, talk about a rush to judgment.

Can we wait until the facts come in before cutting him?

He's been arrested and there would be probable cause to do so. In addition, not only was strangulation one of the allegations, but the female sustained injuries significant enough to be treated at a hospital. Not sure what facts do you think would could out that will exonerate him. Once more details are released via arrest form I would wager that it will make Bird look even worse.

Yeah, not a well thought out comment.

Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing Bird coming out of this clean & it all being chalked up to some sort of a simple misunderstanding. 

Innocent until proven guilty but the stuff that's come out so far don't look promising in Bird's favor.

I mean, I suppose best-case scenario would be something like Bird has a previously-diagnosed mental health condition and either there was a change in his medication or something interacted with his medication in a negative way. Assuming the other person isn't hurt too badly (and I have no information on which to base that assumption) I could see the team giving him some time to focus on getting right with his doctor and letting him come back in a few weeks with the equivalent of a doctor's note if that were the case, particularly given the league's recent focus on mental health.

so everyone who’s ever been arrested was guilty of a crime ? That’s not true

Nobody said that. What they said is, from the facts that we do know so far, it doesn't look good at all for Jabari.

[Emmette Bryant]

Waiting to hear the full story until I pass judgment.

TP for talking like a grown up.

[CelticsElite]

Let’s say he’s waived... who should we sign? I guess an open roster spot isn’t the worst thing in the world for waiver wire veterans

It just sucks. He could've had a great career here. He could shoot and dunk. His name was Bird.

Because he was Jason Kidd.  Not the 14th/15th player on a roster.

isnt that a double standard ? Teams and fans look the other way at crimes if one criminal bounces a ball better than another criminal.

You can’t condemn a person like Jabari bird and then look the other way at Jason Kidd. It’s hypocrisy right

It also was another age and another time. Jason would not get away with that at this time.
