Nope. Wouldn’t trade Jaylen for Kevin Love either. 1000%. Even if they threw in 5 picks. Would trade Comedian for him though.

It's dope that JT smartly got vaccinated even though he has guys like Beal and Kyrie in his ear. Grown man making grown man decisions for himself, his family and his team.

Friggin Beal not only confirmed he's not vaccinated today but he actually started asking reporters why they got vaccinated, as if he legit has no idea why anyone would do it.

lol at the video. Beal asking the reporters if they’re vaccinated, setting them up for his “gotcha” moment, only to be confronted with facts. I’m dying at his reaction. “b-b-but you can still get covid!”. What a dummy.

I try to keep my mouth closed on getting the COVID shot and mind my business after trying to convince family members to get it. They told me I couldn't tell them nothing because I don't get the flu shot. I'm just trying to let people make up their own mind. Just stay away from me without it!

I think rich folk who have easy access to the best healthcare should think a bit more about what and how they say things. They can say whatever they want, but when it comes to life and death, check your privilege. Any of those ballers would get a ventilator, they'd immediately get a bed, and have doctors and nurses catering to them. Just have to think man. A little deeper thought. That smirk made me mad. It's not funny.

Ventilators? Nah. They'd get all of the wildly expensive experimental treatments that Trump got: monoclonal antibodies and all the rest. And they wouldn't be worried one whit about side effects.

Bradley Beal could have said something sensible such as not wanting the vaccine because he already had Covid. I don’t agree with decision but there is at least a credible argument to be made that vaccine doesn’t add that much extra protection to him given age and condition and natural immunity. Instead, he chose to spread lies about the risk of the vaccine.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

With his anti-vaxx stance/comments, Beal is just trying to drive down his trade value. Once the Celtics acquire him for a bag of chips, he'll finally admit he's already vaccinated and has always been pro-science/facts.

Or he really just is another selfish misinformed idiot.

Can we keep the covid talk in the covid thread. My god. I can't escape it. If you wanna talk covid there's literally a thread for it.

Why? It's relevant here, since Beal was rumored to be the Celtics' No. 1 trade target.

Personally I would not touch an unvaccinated player in a trade. Too much risk. The NBA wants players vaccinated for the same reason that major corporations (including Fox News, BTW) require their employees to be vaccinated: the unvaccinated are a serious threat to productivity. If I'm paying a guy 30 million a year, I don't want him missing games or infecting the other guys I'm paying millions per year. They probably won't die, but they will cause me to lose games, and the playoffs are profitable.

There's a theory that Beal is anti-vax to drive down his trade value, but he could do that by simply demanding to leave Washington.

Yeah I'm out on Beal with this COVID nonsense.

Honestly the biggest draw with him is the potential low price tag and relationship with Tatum. But now that we can't leverage our ability to sign him outright the likelihood of a massive discount is much lower. Plus Tatum is clearly a grown ass man since he's not letting nonsense from one of his best friends get in his head about the vaccine and he already did the smart thing. I'd rather not bring in another idiot to potentially ruin things even if he's BFF's with Tatum. I think if Brad/Ime focus on building around Tatum and catering to him to a good extent, he'll stick around for a long time regardless.

Beal/Brown/Tatum isn't an ideal trio anyway because of the overlap. **** it, give me Simmons instead. Siakam as well might not be a bad shout depending on the price.

I just can't have another stupid star on this team. Kyrie was horrible. So fun to watch him play, but still felt dirty knowing how much of an idiot he was. And it was just all so unnecessary. Wasn't worth the headache, doubt Beal will be either at this rate.

We got Brown on a bargain basement deal. I guess he should've hired an agent. I think Brown is way more proven than Porter.. 207 mils, league's going wild.
Good assessment:

Oh and this Simmons situation is quite bizzare to me. Further proves that them lads develop unhealthy egos that comes with fame and money at a very early age. Imagine getting paid 30 mils a year to be average and throwing temper tantrums. A lots of the NBA players do not realize how luck they are. If I'm the 6ers I'd keep the guy there for a year without pay and then terminate his contract. I believe dude still thinks he's the 2nd coming of LBJ when he's a 6'10 Rondo.

Do these guys not know that they currently can't play games in NY, SF and probably can't travel to Toronto. How many games is your boss supposed to accept that you are going to miss at $350000 a game? There are lots of jobs in the country that require vaccines and not just covid vaccines but other ones as well. Irving is going to miss like 50 games and Beal I think 9 before the season if starts.

Would it really hurt the Sixers if Doc and Embiid said something like “ Ben, we feel like you’ve let us down through the years not developing your shot and it obviously became a big problem “ but regardless we shouldn’t have talked publicly the way we did about you and “Im sorry”.Do you think or want to try to make things work? You give us the effort we’re asking and we give you our word this won’t ever happen again. Or do you want a fresh start , still?
Everyone knows Ben let the Sixers down and choked. Everyone knows you don’t treat anyone like that publicly. Even if they deserve it. Try not to be a person that would talk into a microphone like that. But if you do , you’re human and upset. Doesn’t matter what Ben thinks or does with the information. Doesn’t matter if Ben is too small s person to say sorry himself. Should apologize.
