2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

i'm not tracking everything i'm seeing closely but i guess my sense is consensual relationship with a subordinate.

when your title is president that aren't really any coworkers you can bang appropriately.

Yeah having sex with his assistant is the word

Saw a rumor they were at a Twins game together

Jon K posted a long story about the lead up to this, apparently things had been bad before the incident

Posted in the Athletic thread

wow some ppl were ready to unload on this guy

rip bob

Report: Mavericks drop Haralabos Voulgaris https://t.co/d9MOBTT3Fa

Best org in sports

why did they wait lol

Valar Morghulis, Haralabos Voulgaris.

you guys aren’t gonna believe this but sounds like kyrie has not gotten vaxed yet.

That dude basically drove Rick Carlilse out right?

possibly yeah

the stuff i’ve read and heard makes me think he was one of a number of factors that led to that and probably not the biggest one. i think luka was done with rick.

yeah my read is luka got them both fired, maybe not intentionally tho

luka and carlisle had a power struggle that carlisle was never gonna win plain and simple. haralabob and donnie nelson had a separate power struggle over the front office that they both lost. it’s all in that athletic article

it said the luka hated the mere sight of bob too

if anything it seemed like haralabob and carlisle got along to some extent, one of the big conspiracies in that article was that haralabob was dictating rotations to carlisle

just remembered the mavs hired kidd lol

haha wow yah hadnt thought about that til just now. solid org doing solid things

Seeing stuff on Twitter that new management was upset that Rosas didn't want to do a Simmons for Dlo package, which is that is the case shoot him into the sun, jfc

from a good source? i'm sort of generally skeptical of that from all sides.

Nah just chatter so I didn't link it but just because something seems too dumb to be true doesn't mean it's not true in Timberwolves land

yeah for sure. the part i struggle with is imagining daryl morey floating a simmons for dlo+ deal that rosas would even have the opportunity to turn down.

yeah doesn't feel right. though i do kinda wonder - like who are they gonna get at this point?

doesn't really feel like a big fish like Dame is gonna happen

cj

getting dame in exchange for simmons would be straight up highway robbery, so the only way it ever would have happened would be if dame had issued an ultimatum to trade him. no such ultimatum went down.

ESPN Sources: Manu Ginobili is returning to the San Antonio Spurs as a special advisor to basketball operations. Ginobili will take on a player-centric role that’s focused on the development of players on and off the court.

Cool about Manu

xps DLo seems like his reputation in the league has a high variance, I wonder if Morey would trade for him then flip him. Dunno where though

daryl morey would quit the sixers before he ever traded ben simmons for d’angelo russell

will be interesting to see how this all plays out

seems like phillys going to have to move him for a not ideal deal sooner than later

theyre trying to compete they need to have players who are actually playing

i also don’t understand how his trade value increases at all from this point. i bet this has a similar feel to james harden last year where after like 5 games there’s a real motivation to get something done

this is fun little thing i stumbled upon amidst more pels/zion drama. it's a book proposal from a former shoe company rep who had some dealings with zion and his family, lots of other players, and eventually got sent to prison. it's like 50 pages but the first 20 or so are very entertaining and have all the zion stuff. sounds like the actual book will be coming out at some point:

BREAKING: SFDPH tells @_ericting that at large indoor events, unvaccinated "cannot enter indoor areas regardless of the reason they're unvaccinated."

So Warriors' Andrew Wiggins can't apply for religious exemption. He will miss all home games if he doesn't get vaccinated soon

Good job, SF Dept. of Public Health! With you all the way!

i think he said he'd do it if hes forced to.

bullying works

wonder what he considers forced

the union bargained that you still get paid if you can't play bc of vax situation right, bc that sounds good for andrew wiggins (who does not like to play basketball)

Lmao the trade was horrible but not having Wiggins around is a nice feeling

Simmons for Wiggins works in the trade machine! Do people vax in Philly?

when will the trade machine become sentient

they should let it decide all trades

it's the year 2021 and frankly it's past time for the espn trade website to cut some deals

the inventor of the trade machine is literally a GM now!

lmao ben simmons is not into it

Sources: Philadelphia 76ers players wanted to take a jet to Los Angeles this week to meet with Ben Simmons, but were informed not to come and that the three-time All-Star did not want to meet.

i mean, might as well save them the trip. it’s not the players he has a problem with.
