    Kyrie will get you a bucket and when they rest KD during games, Kyrie has taken over. Ben goes missing.

    Kyrie is a phenomenal player but I can’t stand all this stuff. Even down to not wearing NBA socks in games. Idiot 🙄

      On this player power shit, I agree it's fucking garbage. Re moving on Irving and possibly bringing in Simmons for him, being vetoed by Durant, I agree with suspending his salary as a point of action. I wouldn't miss him. And I think the short term pain for the Nets would be worth it if such a move started turning the tide back towards the GMs running the rosters.

            Unhelpful when trying to encourage others to get the vax. But he has had covid19 and is bound to have passive immunity at some level. But the league can't have disruption that affects the product, so it is as much a labour force issue as a health issue for them

                Not that I know of. But there are many cities whose laws prohibit unvaccinated players from practicing or playing. For example San Fran and NYC so any non vaxx players stand to miss all home games and all home practices. That doesn't take into account away games in cities with similar rules. The league can't have its players not being able to play

                  Well the league already has its players REFUSING to play whenever they feel like it.

                    Are we talking about load management? In terms of skiving off on a regular basis, Kyrie immediately comes to mind. I really don't like him, great on court skills but just a stupid ignorant self absorbed person

                      Load management sure, but more Kawhi, Harden, Simmons, AD - all refusing to play and forcing their way out of teams. And getting paid to do it.

                        Right I get you. The pendulum has certainly swung way to the top players' favour. And with endorsements dwarfing wages now its unlikely to change.

                          Andrew Wiggins has reportedly had his first covid19 vax shot. Goes to show eventually the pressure of restrictions on non-vaxxed employees and the promise of lost wages can be an effective motivator

                              That's a big number. The outliers like Kyrie will surely be brought to heel soon. Although he's just the kind of jerk who would hold out longer just to make his point

                                    I know he doesn't have the versatility of some of the other bigs in the league, but he had an excellent season last year

                                    Ayton reportedly feels disrespected, so if the Sun's change their mind and want him there will be no hometown discount. Or in a couple of years he will leave regardless of the offers because the relationship is broken

                                      I think the Suns front office have done the right thing. I don’t think he is worth that post-rookie max extension that he is seeking.

                                        Will take some topping for dunk of the year.

                                        Cavs bench loved it too!
