Wiggins is being paid a lot of money to play basketball.

It shouldn't necessarily be the most important or second most important thing in his life but it should be pretty high up there.

Ben Simmons and Kyrie came back to playing, Simmons to collect his salary and Kyrie playing out his contract year.

But the Warriors gave Wiggins a big extension so ...

It was more a figure of speech since we all take the time to comment on a message board about basketball. So we all prioritize basketball in our lives.

So I can adjust my expectations accordingly. I don’t get why it’s such a big deal that some of us want to know if he’s coming back or not. Trust me I don’t want him to be lacing them up if he’s not going to be fully committed mentally.

I dont think its a big deal that people want to know. Id like to know too. Im just smart enough to realize that if ownership doesnt have a problem with his indefinite absence, coaches dont have a probem, and the players dont have a problem, then he’s probably gone for a darn good reason and we’ll know when we know.

Ah, that’s why you were rebroadcasting the stories about his Dad and his girlfriend. To help you adjust your expectations.

Makes perfect sense.

I hope the team lets him know that you don’t want him back unless he’s fully committed.

There’s pretty much no situation in the NBA that Draymond’s mouth can’t make worse. Don’t be like Draymond.

I don't listen to Draymond's podcast, because I am tired of his big mouth and that he writes checks the team has to cash, but I heard a clip of this one. He does bring up the rumor and then did not put it to bed but said, "whether it's true or not", which I found to be tasteless whether it's true or not.

Ignoring whatever bad thing happened to Wiggins, Wiggins sure did get his time managed.

Having a very fresh and rested Wiggins in the playoffs might be a good thing.

I just hope he's been working out. Not just because he's a pro athlete, but it's also super important for mental health.

Whatever it is, I wish him the best, but I just can’t imagine a situation serious enough for him to be out this long and merit this much silence from the player and organization resolving itself in time for the playoffs.
