Ben Simmons rejected his teammates offer to fly to California and meet to discuss his desire to be traded to a different team. They're saying he's "checked out" from the ball club and has no desire to have anything to do with the 76ers or his old teammates. This seems like a last ditch effort to get him to come back, and I don't see them making any more efforts at this point.

Simmons has no intention to play with the team anymore after hearing a lot of criticism, so he would just choose to keep quiet and wait until the trade is realized. I hope he will be traded soon so this issue will be over and both teams would start blending with their new players.

What I hope for Simmons is to comeback stronger, of course with the different team. So, he could have his revenge after a lot of criticism in Philly.
Simmons is a great player, low shooting percentage was his only issue. I know he can work it out especially in this trying times for him this could be a good motivation to improve his game in the next team he's playing.
D*mn, I just love seeing players getting their revenge after being roughly criticized.

But if that is true, the hell Irving is thinking. First, thinking the Earth is flat even backed by solid proof that it isn't and this one, connecting vaccine to supercomputer lol.

I hope it's true. Damn, I don't know if I laugh or what. This is a higher/est level of fantasy, I want to connect with his brain to have the same kind of vision.
Who knows, maybe I can learn something else.

Yes, that local restriction without exception imposed to the state of New York, Brooklyn and Golden State leave players that don't want to be vaccinated, with no choice. New York players already comply with the local rule leaving Brooklyn and GS with unvaccinated players. If Irving and Wiggins will keep their stand, it will impact their home games winning percentage. But regardless, Nets and GS can still stand strong without these players. I think soon, they will be undergoing vaccination. Just creating drama today.

12 years above according to their local rule. All of them should be vaccinated especially the ones in the entertainment industry.
But what if it's a strong religious belief? Will they really force these guys to undergo the vaccination?
It should be respected and management should also have an agreement with them. Perhaps, players could use their own money for their routine testing.

News breaking now that Kyrie Irving has been supposedly spreading rumors around the NBA that the vaccine is a plot to connect black people to some sort of supercomputer.

Where did you get this news? Found no one in the Google search. That news should not be taken seriously so better just ignore it or not shared it here. For example, there are Facebook groups posting fake news that seems legit if a person is not aware of fact checks.

But if that is true, the hell Irving is thinking. First, thinking the Earth is flat even backed by solid proof that it isn't and this one, connecting vaccine to supercomputer lol.

If NBA superstars refuse the vaccine, the Golden State Warriors may end up playing half teams at every home game.

News breaking now that Kyrie Irving has been supposedly spreading rumors around the NBA that the vaccine is a plot to connect black people to some sort of supercomputer. Very odd… The players union has refused any talk of a mandate and Irving says he won’t be getting it. This upcoming season might be an interesting one. If NBA superstars refuse the vaccine, the Golden State Warriors may end up playing half teams at every home game.

What?! Chips inside the liquid? Are we that advance now? Grin

I would be happy if we are that far in technology but I doubt that.
Here we go again with the Irving wild imagination about things. Where the hell did he get those information? Too much Sci-Fi. This is all Netflix's fault.

Well I guess we are back to the same dilemma where players will be tested every game and NBA management will be using more money for it. I think that's why the NBA won't agree with Wiggins as an exception because they want to save money instead of respecting his religious belief.
Money wins again.

I think he's going to be gone on the trading block as soon as a good deal can be squeezed out of the Warriors for Wiggins or the Kings for Fox.

Yes, for sure Ben has closed all the doors with that rejection and I doubt that things can be patched at this point. For sure he has been in the trading block, unfortunately, no teams are willing maybe Kings, not sure if the Warriors are going to trade Wiggins for him, might be a bad idea as Wiggins has already fit in the Warriors line up and has a good season last year.

Honestly, that was good for me. At least, it's now clear and no drama involved after all. Both parties are just waiting for what will happen next.

Browsing any latest rumors and speculations about Ben Simmons looks like there is still no progress or even just a hint about what teams are interested in signing him. There should be at least a candidate but found nothing.

Hmm.. no teams are interested? (I found TWolves as a candidate but it's just on analyst view).

But where do you think Simmons would land? and who would the 76ers get in this trade?

I guess the Wolves, Cavs, Kings, Blazers could potentially be his new team. However, there are only rumors, and there is still no official information about it. By the way, I'm sure the 76ers fans already hate Simmons, and I wouldn't be surprised if fans boo him every time he plays in the 76ers arena next season.

It's the new world like you are a zombie if you ain't vaccinated. I think there's a good discussion about this in the politics section.
Now we as sports gamblers will have to list all players that ain't vaccinated yet. More work was added while also listing the injured players for every team.

I don't agree with the mandate but it's to protect every player that accepted the agreement. It won't be fair to them if they will be playing against a team who believes the vaccine will not help while they do.
I think this is also a requirement for the entertainment industry to continue with their business.

It is simply just a mandate because it is the only way of survival of humanity. What is the alternative to this? We have seen 4.5+ million people DEAD, this is not a joke. Instead of acting as if nothing happened, if the players get vaccinated and if the numbers drop like crazy thanks to everyone being vaccinated and the number of people who die from coronavirus drops to like even 100k per year, that would be great, still a lot but at least it is not millions.

Wiggins trying to get away from it because of "religion" is the most BS reason ever, I do not know which god he prays to, but I am sure every single god would want humans to protect themselves from a virus, or at least would want them to get vaccination so that they wouldn't spread it to everyone they know and kill others unintentionally (could we still call it unintentionally killing if you knew you could have saved that person if you were vaccinated but decided to not get the vax and cause their death?). All in all every single basketball player either should be vaccinated or they should be fired from their job without payment.

They need klay to be at his best to be able to compete in the west.

I think this is the most important thing we should see, because we know that Klay came from injury and was lay off for 2 seasons, so it's important to know if he can still be Klay that can lead the team like Stephen Curry for the success of the Warriors. We are hype too much with his return and yet we didn't see yet if he is 100% already.

It looks like they need to wait for long time before Klay can play and that can really hurt their organization if that timeline is true, provably they are not a team to beat if their line up is incomplete so maybe its good for Warriors to adjust their rooster and get those possible player who can fill the slot of Klay.

I do hope we cannot see warriors didn't reach the playoffs since its exciting to watch Steph competing other teams on playoffs since the games is more intense compere to regular season.

I guess it will be hard for the Warriors to find another player with the same skills if Thompson needs more time to fully recover from an injury. The Warriors definitely need Klay, although it's worth noting that they were so close to reaching the playoffs last season even without him.

A lot of teams were close to the playoffs, huge difference between almost making ayoffs and being a true contender. They need klay to be at his best to be able to compete in the west. They need to tread water before he comes back.

The regular season starts next month, so they will miss him, however, as long as the Warriors are still competing like they do last season, they will still hang around with some balance wins and loses before Thompson will come back, and with him playing back again, their chances to be in the playoffs will increase.

He maybe won't be forced to get vaccinated but it will affect the team's performance as he has to sit in home games according to the report.

Quote

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins, the team’s second-leading scorer last season, has remained steadfast in his refusal to get vaccinated, according to multiple published reports, a decision that could have a significant impact on the Warriors team, as unvaccinated players could be forced to sit out home games due to local vaccine-related regulations.

He is putting the GSW season at risk of losing games because without him, they will not be complete, so his decision could be detrimental to the team.

That is the difficult part. Do you know why NBA rejected Wiggins request? Was he caught lying about the religious reason? The reason is still unclear to me.

I also don't understand Wiggins asking for an exemption and insisting until now when he clearly said he may get a shot when he's forced to do so. The NBA isn't saying it directly but they are actually forcing him to be vaccinated.

If it's not compulsory, there's nothing the team can do about it.

Lol, you really missed a lot, Rocket is no longer a contender team, Harden is no longer with them. Although they have a promising rookie in Jalen Green.

Jalen Green is still a rookie, he hasn't prove anything yet but he can show more because this team needs him to produce more.
Probably John Wall will exit and they will get Ben Simmons if things work out, that's according to the rumors.

Good luck with this team, this is not a playoff team anymore as they only have John Wall now, and the worst is that John Wall might be traded and the Houston Rockets will start rebuilding. If you are still supporting the Rockets because of Harden, well, he is already out and is playing with the Nets now.
