Report - Simmons Won't Report

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.

That wouldn’t actually be such a bad idea for either side. Nets have plenty of scoring and ball handlers and could do with some defense. The Sixers would get a guard that can score and create in the half court. That’s assuming that Kyrie will actually be able to play at all unvaccinated and that Simmons finally found a shot he did take and is vaccinated.

He'd miss that one, too. Needle would end up going into the back of the chair. And he'd blame Embiid.

Dude is scared of every shot, at least he is consistent.

I heard he applied for a religious exception with the league to not have to take any shots this season. Seems reasonable as I know it is what a lot of Philly fans have been praying for.

Not just praying. I'm pretty sure there have been some human sacrifices.
