2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

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.

If they flew coach instead of taking the jet maybe he'd listen

hes done with it

admire Simmons for sticking to it tbh, they treated him like trash

yeah

The doc rivers comments were pointless and hard to think they didn’t have some impact on this fiasco

embiids too

the one where embiid tried to complement him and then like two tweets later is like "but hey some guys don't have the good sense to get their head straight!" or whatever was all time

whats the chance kyrie has played his last nba game, its not no chance

Kyrie fans will have their work cut out for them because holy fucking shit pic.twitter.com/Nit9giLqxN

Lol I guarantee Kryie talked Wiggins into this shit

as always i admire independent thinkers of all stripes

"think different"
-- steve job

kyrie’s aunt agreeing to go on the record and calling fauci “false-y” helps explain a lot

fucking sociopath idiot nutjob

But is he just messing with us like he did with the flat earth thing!!!?

It seems like no one is sure if these guys will lose salary or not?

If we’re referring to their comments immediately following the gm7 loss, they were off the cuff following an emotional loss and extremely mild, so I’m not going to fault them. Also, Ben is pretty clearly not a top 10 player by any metric other than who has the thinnest skin.

naw

“I’ll be honest. I thought the turning point was when we — I don’t know how to say it — is when we had an open shot and we made one free throw…,” Embiid said.

Sixers fans went all in on “actually it’s good to say this about your teammate” but you’re seeing the downsides rn

both their comments were so bitchy and unprofessional

one gets the sense that simmons is not a fun guy to play with

I hope Simmons gets traded to the Nuggets so you get to see the downsides up real fuckin' close. /philly

sorry for the bitchy and unprofessional post

should probably say those things after the trade is the other thing.

Devin Booker on his Twitch stream (https://t.co/tm4EgGPJBg) confirms he has COVID-19. Said it has been about a week and he'll be back in no time. He said he's straight right now and the worst part is no taste and smell. He did not want to say if he has been vaccinated or not.

I was curious about vaccination policy of Team USA during the Olympics, where Booker played, and found an article from July:

Jonathan Finnoff, D.O., said he estimated that 83% of the 613 athletes on Team USA are vaccinated, which means that about 100 U.S. Olympians are unvaccinated

Devin Booker on his Twitch stream (http://twitch.tv/dbook) confirms he has COVID-19. Said it has been about a week and he'll be back in no time. He said he's straight right now and the worst part is no taste and smell.

I hope you acquire repeatedly negative results... of tests and do your part to spread... the word.

Will the Suns have to tank to avoid the warriors in the playoffs because of this

oof sorry to hear that j0rd, hope you feel better asap

thanks, i felt sick for like 2-3 days and then was ok. smell still gone, taste is coming back slightly i think

how many wins would the warriors lose if wiggins never played a home game? like his win over replacement over 41 games is… 2 or 3 wins? max? not insane but in the west that’s important (i bet he gets vaccinated)

dray absolutely should be the vaccine enforcer on that team, everyone else is too chill

uhh

David Griffin says Zion Williamson had foot surgery in the summer. He had a fractured right foot.

He should be back by the regular season.

wolves media day should be interesting today

okay, so Glen Taylor just basically said that Gupta is going to be the long-term GM? "I'm confident we're set for the future"...unless I'm misunderstanding

Lore says he eventually wants to build a new stadium with augmented reality technology lol

Doc Rivers' opening statement: "Last year we almost pulled off, really, a miracle run. It's rare that you have new coaches, new players, a new front office, and you turn things around and have a chance to win."
