Just a reminder, folks: this is a basketball board. We have a current affairs board for anyone who wants to register their opinion about vaccines. Let's keep it on topic here, please.

Just echoing this—you’re more than welcome to quote a poster and move your discussion over to the current affairs board. As much as I’d love to have a vaccine discussion here, I’m more interested in talking about how Golden State landed Avery Bradley and Langston Galloway today.

Are you though?

Don’t get me wrong, a vaccine debate on a basketball forum sounds about as fun as drinking from a cesspool. But even THAT sounds more interesting than talking about Avery Bradley or Langston Galloway.

I’m arguably Langston Galloway’s biggest fan on this board, probably. Avery Bradley on a min is about as wishful of a flyer as Otto Porter too.

So glad Coffey is back.... Really expecting good things to brew from the signing

I know there are strong feelings about the vaccine, but if Wiggins doesn't get it that's 100% confirmation that he doesn't give a crap about basketball whatsoever. The guy is set to make over $30 mil to be the 3rd or 4th guy on a potential contender playing off of two of the greatest shooters of all time. But instead he might opt to be 1 of a handful (if that) of guys in the league to sit instead. If he does hopefully the league will allow the Warriors to give the spot to someone who wants it.

I know there's time and he was waiting on the potential exemption, but it's crazy it's gotten this far.

So 100% confirmation if he doesn't get the vaccine.

What percentage did you have him at prior to the recent spotlight on the vaccine decision?

I had him close to 100% too anyways, but there was at least the argument that he primarily has a weird personality and just no bball IQ. Put another way, his failings despite his elite gifts can theoretically be explained away. This can't be explained away imo.

I’m sure Milwaukee is happy to clear that $100k guarantee off the books.

Lakers have signed Austin Reaves to a 2-year contract. No longer a two-way guy for them.

Can’t help but feel for him. What a ringer he’s been through.

Coach Nate talking about the Hawks playing some all bench units this year due to the strength of their depth. Pretty big advantage if they can survive that allowing their best 5 to play more minutes together.

Dieng/Gallo/Reddish/Huerter/Wright really puts a lot of pressure on Gallo offensively, but against other teams' benches might be okay. I guess they can replace Dieng with Lou and play Gallo at center to get more offense out there as well.

Hawks had a really good off-season and should be even better than last year even if they don't repeat the ECF run(Nets and Bucks have to be favorites).

So apparently John Wall will in fact travel with the team and go to all practices and be on the bench for all the games because he wants to do that and help mentor the young guys. Source: John Wall who surprisingly had a media day session today

So count Beal as among the unvaccinated.

very curious to see if he goes with the blitz every PnR thing he was so stubborn about with the Bucks. We could see some very... explosive.. games if he does

I know he's just saying it right now but Porzingis post ups are certainly a plan.

Kidd is trying to get fired before the season starts lol.

He also called Luka Picasso, but explained that Picasso needs to use all the paints(ie teammates).

So the on court strategy is ensure defensive disasters and the off court strategy is to call the franchise player too selfish.

This is gonna be great.

Lol. That is incredible.

Picasso, who is most famous for
1) "Guernica" (which is black and white) and
2) a three-year period in which everything he painted was blue.

This is perhaps not the perfect metaphor that Kidd thinks it is.

Wish Picasso had had Jason Kidd as his painting coach, his career might have really taken off someday.
