Enjoy that booster buddy.

Fair enough, your post still sucked, I thought you were being serious and it was a continuation of your recent nonsense. I really respect you as a basketball poster, always will, but that **** from before just leaves a bad stain in your drawers forever on this forum.

$$ & Power. I stand by it. And your vaccines are killing people too. Pfizer whistleblower saying close to 200k deaths within a week of taking vaccine. If people continue to comply it will only get worse the level of restrictions we will face.
And I'll leave you with this, then I don't want to talk about it again on this board. At NO time in history have the people forcing others into compliance been the good guys.

You make a statement about vaccines being responsible for "close to 200K deaths within a week of taking vaccine" as if it was fact. A quick Google search reveals there is no source that backs that figure (or anything close to it). Conspiracy BS.

I dunno it looked like something mental was up with him in the playoffs. He does do things to help a team other than shoot but he looked exposed by other teams.

Then there were the reports he refused to work with the team to help fix his issues. Then he demands a trade and only to LA...I don't really feel that bad for him. He comes off as entitled and delusional. He could still turn it around...

I can't feel bad for a spoiled little brat, who makes 30 mils a year from salary, thinks he's better than he is, hasn't improved anything about his game and averages like 3 pts for an entire series. Dude's a dud.

I don't feel bad necessarily for any of the NBA players. At the same time, idk how I'd handle being famous and having millions of people a day talk sh*t about me online, on tv, radio, giving their opinions about things they know nothing of, and basically being paid to professionally gossip at my expense. The media is high school for "grown ups."

Not to mention all the fake ass people in your life trying to use you and pull you every which way, women trying to gold-dig, and all the privacy issues that come with that kind of money and fame.

All this sh*t might not be an issue for me, but it might be. I wouldn't know unless I'm in their shoes.

Alright, so with Millsap going to the Nets the only way to improve the bench would come through a trade. The Memphis logjam at 3-4 is still a possibility.

Cool but he is going to nets la or Miami they all do..
Every one that has juice left goes to those teams nba has been ruined by klutch and lebron.

Just putting it out there. But is there any benefit to signing LA? We have centers, but LA probably is > Kanter and Bruno for One season at least.

also keeps him away from Nets/Miami.

speak now or forever be damned !!!

Agreed. Humanizing is important but not in this case

These players go to these spots because they are contenders.....if we had a true contender we would be able to get the same treatment. Granted, not as good as an LA but we would 100% be in the mix. These guys don’t pay us attention because if the money is equal they aren’t considering us.

It’s the same reason when people worry about filling out a roster after a superstar trade and that concern being a reason not to make a big trade I always feel the order is wrong. Get the superstars- the role players will come. Hopefully next offseason that’ll be us.

When the 76ers eventually realize they aren't getting **** for simmons we should call and offer Jaylen for Embiid. They may not fall for it but it's worth a shot. Tatum and Embiid work out together in the offseason right? I assume they are reasonably close.

Right. It's a whistleblower from Pfizer saying that. Not me. Sounds like a lot. However, considering the vaccine came out in December, even these numbers (13-14kish reported, and it's probably a lot more!) is alarming.

and now CDC is counting any death within 14 days of receiving a vaccine as an "unvaccinated" death....which covers their a$$ a bit I suppose.

What is this nonsense discussion doing in the trade thread??

I don’t know enough about the cap to know if we can upgrade at backup 4. I’d say Celtics route is as good as any. Acquire talent regardless of fit for a future trade package? Beal, Zion, Dame, D. Mitchell.. then Embiid is gonna want out too after they messed up the Simmons situation too.

Perhaps you should take just that sentence to the Current Affairs board, so that we may consider the Union in the Civil War (including the role of conscription), or the post-WW2 US occupations of various countries, or compulsory elementary education, or epidemic/pandemic quarantines, or the collection of taxes, or ...

I can come up with a random graph also. I’m not that good in Paint though.
