What the… ?
They just hired him. And fwiw, the Canis Hoopus crew seemed to love him.
What the… ?
How does Simmons feel about Brand? How does Brand feel about Simmons?ARod wants to hire Elton Brand...
KAT is one guy I'd gladly move Jaylen for.View: https://twitter.com/KarlTowns/status/1440758524271726602
LOL! Gotta love firing your GM 2 years in (and other than the Culver pick he's done fine) and having your star posting his surprise/displeasure on twitter.
MIN is sneakily probably the worst run franchise.
Let me throw a source on this...ARod wants to hire Elton Brand...
Maybe Morey can send Brand over as a sweetener in a Simmons trade.How does Simmons feel about Brand? How does Brand feel about Simmons?
Even if it's not DLo, there is a deal with Minnesota that keeps Towns and Edwards in Minnesota.
This could open things up for a blockbuster KAT trade if this new guy wants to put his stamp on the roster and move on from the last half dozen years.
DAL he quit, he didn't get fired. Basically on that one it seemed like from the jump, the amount of control the GM had vs. Don Nelson was more unbalanced than he expected, so he quit. My impression was that he quickly realized that he wasn't really the GM, and what he had thought was a regular GM job with Nelson as a Team President type role, was more of a AGM role, except he was also there to take all the criticism when Donnie's decisions failed. He wasn't interested in tying his future to Nelson's decisions so he went back to HOU.What’s the deal with Rosas? That’s two times he’s been fired as a GM in a very strange and unexpected way.
Normally when Glen Taylor is involved, I assume its his fault. However, Wolves Twitter is chock full of rumors that Rosas had an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate.What’s the deal with Rosas? That’s two times he’s been fired as a GM in a very strange and unexpected way.
Giving the timing logic would dictate that something like this precipitated Rosas dismissal however as has been noted here, it is Minnesota so...Normally when Glen Taylor is involved, I assume its his fault.

I love what you did here.The affair seems like just a side piece.
What exactly is his claim for a religious exemption anyway?Wiggins may not be able to play home games. California isn't playing around. I'd make it a coin toss that the local authorities give him a bogus religious out.
I don't have anything specific, just was mentioned in this articleWhat exactly is his claim for a religious exemption anyway?
He should definitely go get paid overseas for a few seasons.I wonder if another team signs Carsen or its off to Europe for 4-5 years before a possible NBA return.
He is still eligible for a 2-way as he has less than 3 years service:I wonder if another team signs Carsen or its off to Europe for 4-5 years before a possible NBA return.
Can he sign a 2 way? Probably not.
But he is more likely off to the Euro-zone.A player is ineligible to sign a Two-Way contract if he will have more than three years of NBA service at any point in the contract. A player cannot play under Two-Way contracts for the same team for more than three years total.
I can't find it anywhere but I thought guys who have NBA guaranteed contracts are not eligible for two-ways?He is still eligible for a 2-way as he has less than 3 years service:

LOL!! So unvaccinated players from Golden State can’t play but when an unvaccinated player travels to play the Warriors it’s all good? I think this virus has exposed some Americans for being void of all common sense. How is this legal in any way to allow one person to compete but not another?
Surprising, Wiggins usually will take any shot
I think the rule is unvaccinated players from away teams will also not be allowed to play (technically, will not be allowed to enter the arena)LOL!!

Edit: Apparently same with Kyrie I suppose. Omg lol.
At least this makes sense. I was taking this response from the Kyrie thread as gospel.I think the rule is unvaccinated players from away teams will also not be allowed to play (technically, will not be allowed to enter the arena)
Visiting players are exempt de facto.

I think in NY visiting players are exempt. Not sure about CA.At least this makes sense. I was taking this response from the Kyrie thread as gospel.
Thanks for link. I did believe you until it was questioned.https://theathletic.com/news/knicks-nets-warriors-will-need-vaccine-to-play-at-home-arenas-sources/CW29rqy3G9VL
Visiting players will be exempt from the vaccination requirements in New York City and San Francisco.
The appeals court ruling in Deflategate basically gives leagues commissioners a ton of power to do whatever they want. It may end up in court, but the anti-vaxxers so far have been 0-for-whatever in court rulings.Thanks for link. I did believe you until it was questioned.
Yes, it is in the article that NYC and San Fran will allow visiting players to play…….but not home players. Ok, this is 100% certain to end up in court and rightfully so.
I’m not sure what Deflategate would have to do with Wiggins and/or Kyrie presenting this simple common sense case to a judge to issue an injunction.

IANAL but Deflategate was common sense too (Ideal Gas Law and all).I’m not sure what Deflategate would have to do with Wiggins and/or Kyrie presenting this simple common sense case to a judge to issue an injunction. (Not a legal guy, apologies if I used injunction out of context)
This is good.Surprising, Wiggins usually will take any shot
Deflategate ruling basically granted sports league commissioner's wide ranging powers to set policies without having to worry about their being overturned by the courts. If the commissioner rules (which he has) that home team players in NYC and San Francisco have to be vaccinated to play, that rule is likely to stand, assuming it doesn't conflict with the CBA. And so far the players association hasn't made any noise about opposing Silver's ruling.I’m not sure what Deflategate would have to do with Wiggins and/or Kyrie presenting this simple common sense case to a judge to issue an injunction.

The Wiggins ruling came down today. Give CJ and the attorneys at least a couple hours, no? There isn’t a chance in hell that this is going to fly. Zero. I’ll go out on that limb right now. Zero chance of Kyrie sitting at home due to non-vaccination while Schroder is playing at Barclays. Zero. 0. Zero. Gilbert Arenas Zero…..Avery Bradley Zero…..even Aaron Brooks Zero. 0. Tyler Freakin Zero!Deflategate ruling basically granted sports league commissioner's wide ranging powers to set policies without having to worry about their being overturned by the courts.

It’s a state law that is 100% unconstitutional. It is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment which mandates that individuals in similar situations be treated equally by law. I expect the NBAPA to be all over this.Well, the Kyrie situation is state law. The state law in question specifically exempts visiting players and does not exempt players employed by the home team. Unless you can think of a good reason the state of NY can't enact such a law (e.g. violates the federal or state constitution), then Kyrie ain't playing home games unless he gets vaccinated or gets one of those half baked religious thingies. It's not like it's the NBA inventing this rule. The CBA is irrelevant (though maybe Kyrie can get paid for the games he misses anyway) to the issue of whether he can play. I don't see how Kyrie gets an injunction either because there's almost no chance he can win on the merits.
Looking over the San Francisco city ordinance... it's basically the same deal though enacted by a city so maybe there are additional avenues to challenge it that I'm unaware of.
No.It’s a state law that is 100% unconstitutional. It is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment
REF:https://www.google.com/amp/s/constitutioncenter.org/amp/blog/on-this-day-the-supreme-court-rules-on-vaccines-and-public-healthOn February 20, 1905, the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 majority, said in Jacobson v. Massachusetts that the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts could fine residents who refused to receive smallpox injections.
I think you are misunderstanding what I’m saying. This isn’t about mandating vaccinations…..it is about mandating vaccination for you to work but not for me (or vice versa).
