Report - Simmons Won't Report

I’ll play along with the OP. If it’s a pure hypothetical, I’d trade Royce for him.
 
The Simmons Won't Report

Simmons won't learn to shoot
Simmons won't make free throws consistently
Simmons won't get along with his teammates
Simmons won't take responsibility
Simmons won't win a championship
 
I think Minny should throw a real offer out there. BS and KAT would work well. I’m not the biggest Edwards believer so if they put him in the deal (likely to a third team for something really good) I’d probably get that done.
 
At the same time, Wiggins is still not taking his vaccine, which seems to mean that unless he does, he's more or less finished with the Warriors. Can't practice with the team, can't play home games.

Feels like Wiggins for Simmons straight up, plus some picks heading Philly's way might be an option. Could be the Warriors give up some young piece, like Moody or Wiseman.

Kyrie is also refusing the vaccine, which also means no home games or practices for him.

Yeah, maybe it's gonna be Kyrie for Simmons... I do believe Wiggins will come through at some point. He hoped for his religious exemption (WTF?), but now that it's out of the question, I figure he'll just man up and take the vaccine.

Seeing all of this from the relatively peaceful and not-polarized-to-death part of the world that is Norway is baffling, truly. The US had almost 50% vaccinated when we had, what? 20%, and probably less. Now we have 76% (one dose), 66% (fully) to the USA's 63/54, but not only that, that curve is _flat_, while we've just started on our <16s.

It's also interesting how Norway at no point has had anything even looking like a vaccine mandate. There are some guidelines giving health care employers the right to repurpose unvaccinated employees (very, very few) to non-contact jobs, but no one is getting fired. This has been very much intentional all along, with the theory that making the vaccine actually (realistically) voluntary will make more people take it. I think it's worked, but I do understand how it might not in a country as far gone into internal feuding as the US is.
