"Disgraced former Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti embezzled his client's cash and spent it on a private jet, a new lawsuit claims. "The attorney is accused of taking a chunk of a $3 million settlement from NBA player Hassan Whiteside that was meant for Avenatti's client, the baller's ex Alexis Gardner, and spending most of it on a 2016 Honda Jet. ... "Gardner hired Avenatti in a legal dispute with her ex, which ended in Whiteside agreeing to pay a $3 million settlement. "The former Miami Heat NBA player paid the first installment of $2.75 million in 2017, with the remaining $250,000 scheduled for November 2020."

Former point guard Sebastian Telfair was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for possessing weapons in a 2017 incident: "Telfair was stopped in his Ford F-150 pickup truck in Brooklyn in 2017 for driving without his lights on and illegally parking on the median of Atlantic Avenue. Cops then found three loaded handguns, a submachine gun, ammunition, extended magazines and a ballistic vest during a search of his vehicle. Telfair told The Post on Monday before his sentencing that the weapons were his and legally licensed, although in Florida. He was not licensed to have them in New York."

...Not about the Blazers, but about all the teams we here at BE are watching warily over our shoulders. An excellent read, this.

Some might dislike Carmelo, and even more wouldn't want him on their team, but I agree with Dame that he, at the least, deserves a farewell season. Maybe the McNuggets could pick him up. Couldn't be any worse than having IT on the roster last year.
