What is the likelihood of him being convicted? Jail time? And is an NBA suspension on the table? I think we need this guy's help at the 4, whether he's a felon or not.
right. what's an assault among friends? maybe our backup center won't have too many murder charges and he can get time off for good behavior. or maybe play with an ankle monitor a few minutes a night?
I was brief in my post, but will clarify that I obviously don't condone criminal behavior. And relatedly, the way domestic violence issues have been handled in the NFL (e.g., minimal repercussions) has been troubling. I don't know enough about Marcus' case to have an opinion re: his guilt either way.
In general, I do think our frontcourt would struggle without Marcus this season.
The case is stronger against Marcus than Markieff. No idea how likely conviction is.
If he's guilty of a felony, it's a minimum 10 game suspension.
I think I read that the average sentence is around 2.5 years, but even with a conviction I'd expect probation.
That's very helpful, thanks Roy. Hopefully the situation doesn't end badly.
