"Conduct detrimental to the team" is always a tough phrase to stomach, and even moreso in the middle of the season. Without disclosing too much, my real job is entirely centered around the recognition that young people do stupid stuff and in some ways deserve a different critical lens than adults.
That said, Lamonte Bearden's suspension, announced today, is a gut-check for Bulls fans. Youthful decision-making or not, Lamonte has to know the rules of the team and has to understand that anything like this hurts the team significantly, especially when it comes down midseason. I want to remember that 19, 20 is really not that old, and everyone (literally everyone) makes mistakes at that age, but I also want to convey that it's really a big letdown for a lot of people when you're invested in a team and a team's success.
