Demand for compensation for imminent domain of player under contract (270 views)

[ahebrewtoo]

Michael Porter Jr. was signed to a long-term contract despite his poor shot blocking and medicore offensive efficiency because he was SF eligible and able to provide quality depth.

Dear leader recently ruled arbitrarily that he, and other players previously eligible at SF but rostered at PF, is no longer SF eligible with no opportunity to seek satisfaction through a position change.

As a result, he is no longer capable of providing the utility he once provided the Pacers due to what is de facto imminent domain.

We, the undersigned, do hereby demand that Michael Porter Jr. be removed from the Pacers's roster, his contract be void and null with no impact this year or next on the Pacers's cap space, and a pro rated return of all funds or bonus points used to upgrade this player be returned to the Pacers's bank.

We look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Herbert Simon

I support this and the 25k put into Livio but he is going to be traded for about the value I obtained him at, so no other compensation needed.

Domain that has already occurred by definition cannot be imminent.

The ruling that position changes were no longer allowed was not recent, but occurred in 2009. Given that plaintiff would demonstrably lie about such a trivially verifiable matter, this court can't help but wonder... what lies beneath this complaint? Does the man supply it, or is demand wearing the pants?

Since escaping the reefer addled wasteland of Colorado, Michael Porter Jr [sic] has produced .107 WS/48 in years as a primary small forward and .101 WS/48 as a power forward - well within the variation attributable to statistical noise. Lest we think this time period is chosen "arbitrarily", Porter Jr [sic] produced by far his worst WS/48s at both positions while wearing the powder blue and gold (sick). This court cannot grant redress if no damages have occurred.

Three strikes, checkmate.

Motion overruled.

We demand a jury trial and that dear leader recuse itsself as there is a conflict of interest in its ruling on the merits of our demands.

I demand a trial by combat.

For the sake of the jury of our peers that will be adjudicating this matter, we are compelled to respond to dear leaders attempt to mislead you with unnecessary complication.

It has been admitted that MPJr’s best position is more likely than not SF. The defendant has implicitly admitted as much despite its attempts to shroud that fact in “statistical noise.” [editors note: one might say the defendants entire post is statistical noise.]

Despite this attempt to mislead you all, the defendant’s post ignores the most important aspect of our case: a player capable of playing three positions is de facto more valuable than a player capable of playing two. The versatility of a 6’10” player capable of playing SF is the reason we signed MPJr. We would not have signed him if he was PF eligible. Whether we are heavy on bigs or wings, he is capable of providing solid depth. But now he is longer able to provide any wing depth and is relegated to an IR position on the Pacers roster as we do not need big depth.

I trust in the decency of the GMs of this league to push back against these senseless and arbitrary rulings in favor of an equitable resolution in this case.

Whether one position is better than the other is immaterial. Damages must be demonstrated. They are demonstrably not demonstrable, even by Laplace's demon. The word win shares occurs nowhere in the United States Main Board Sim League Basketball League Constitution of America, counselor.

Versatility is immaterial. The record brings to the fore plaintiff's advanced foreknowledge of the changes, thus their roster construction insofar as it pertains to signing "known scrub Aiden Williamson" (to quote vis a vis the late Justice Scalia) (void where prohibited) is an ex why zee post facto rationalization of the increasingly baseless allegations, and since since pOH ≡ 14 - pH this court will not subject the hypothetically jury to literally having acid poured in their face with their (hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff's) donger hanging out in the wind.

This court finds the plaintiff in contempt of their zipper and directs the original hearor to nullify with extreme prejudice its stay of the order to zip it.

Trade him to the Warriors.

The people have spoken.

eric please remove MPJr from the Pacers roster at your convenience before 8pm.

Thanks!
