Agent: Kendrick Perkins to sign with Cavs after completing buyout with Jazz

Dang I read the title wrong, for some reason I though it said Anna Kendrick instead of Agent: Kendrick. Maybe just wishing for pics

There we go, we are the farm team for the league. We give another key piece to another championship contender. How the hell are we ever going to contend when we let our best players leave for nothing...

Was that good?

I've got no problem with Perkins. I think the Jazz should have talked about how excited they were to be him just so they could get a better discount on the buyout. Gotta save every flipping penny. Missed opportunity?

(How's that?)
 
Too bad he never joined the team. Kanter was the Jazz player with most Shaqtin' a Fool appearances, and it would have been great to replace him with one of the show's hall of famers.

I'm not sure 'plead the fifth' means what you think it means.

He would've justified Perkins.

You just can't see I was using metaphorical ish to say that Kendrick Perkins is garbage and suspect But Corbin would plead the fifth that his veteran leadership and championship ring is enough to keep him innocent of his suckitide and keep him hired on as a jazzman.

So yeah, I know what it means nica.

Pleading the fifth doesn't mean justifying. The expression "plead the fifth" comes from the courts (of law, not basketball) where a defendant can choose to Plead the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment, in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution reads:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I've bolded the relevant portion from which the phrase derives. When someone "pleads the fifth" it means they have chosen to remain silent so that they are not forced to testify - revealing potentially incriminating information - against themselves. The vast majority of defendants choose to "plead the fifth" so that the prosecution can't ask them, "Did you do it?" while they are under oath on the stand.

So unless Corbin killed Kendrick Perkins and is being asked to explain it in a court room (if you're speaking literally) or to the media/the front office/his team (if you're speaking figuratively), then you're not using the phrase correctly.

In other words, no, you don't know what it means... nica... but I hope you do now.

I guess I should sign my life over for saying something small like that.
