THIRD 2019 number one pick has been released.  This time it is Samanic of San Antone.

All three were Euros.

PS: No word on Bradley Beal.  But presumably we will not be seeing him at MSG.


Hearing visiting players can play

Even if the NBA does not pass a vaccine requirement for players, they are not above protocols from local health officials. New York City requires people over 12 years old to show proof of at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to attend indoor entertainment events, including sports games. In San Francisco, people over 12 are required to be fully vaccinated to attend indoor events. That includes NBA players hoping to take the court for practice or games, although the league told teams the requirements do not apply to visiting players

https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2021-09-28/nba-covid-vaccinations-players-league-policy-nfl

Visiting players do not have to use the NBA Covid protocol for the unvaccinated on the road though they do at home if they meet local restrictions and are even allowed to participate.

The NBA has no control over and must comply with every health protocol governing any place they do play and the players on both teams must meet local requirements to show up at all. That means not only will unvaccinated players on New York and California teams not play home games, but teams with road games scheduled in those cities will have to meet those players somewhere dumber further down the road.

The NBA is not helping Kyrie skirt NY law so he can play in the Garden.

A player committed to remaining unvaccinated could be only eligible to play as few as 20 to 24 games this season if his franchise is housed in a sane city. If that does not sink his team, they should be fine without him for at least half if not all of every playoff series the team winds up in.

Myles Powell is in camp. Tyler Hall cut. The Knicks are using that 20th spot to fill out the Westchester roster, as one does.

Draft for rest of Westchester roster is Oct 23 - though of course we would not have the rights to all those players.

Exhibit 10s keep them out of the draft. That is the point of the cap deals. They give teams the chance to secure players with fatter offers if they choose. Powell is a good candidate.

Yet what I said is correct.

Like what I said about Beal playing road games.

Beal can play road games in suicide states like Florida, sure. No games in sane states though. Washington will pay him for about a quarter of the season in games played if he is healthy for those dwindling opportunities. It should help them get into good lotto position.

At least BB has his gold medal to console him as he watches Wizard games on TV.

Well, no

Beal can play EVERY road game - and ...well.... every home game

That would make 82

More mandates are coming and the ones that already exist are getting tighter with fewer exceptions. These mandates are a big hit with the public in addition to saving countless lives.

The NBA will not miss Beal or Irving this year.

Another white shooter contract for Bo to get pissed about

Michael Scotto - Kevin Huerter might command Joe Harris type of money. Some around the league see him as a guy that is around the $18 million annual range.

Embiid the asshole

Lauren Rosen: Joel Embiid on his early partnership with Andre Drummond   - He is a great guy. Obviously I always kicked his butt, and he knows it too. But it is great to be in the same side. He is a smart basketball player. I have a lot of respect for him. I think he is going to be huge for us.

lol, where's the asshole part?

If Ben the simpering coward Simmons had even 1/3 the competitive spirit and any inkling to grow his game they'd have a ring already.

Fuck this fossil

Gregg Popovich has never been afraid to speak his mind. The San Antonio Spurs was recently vocal against how certain Texas school districts, including San Antonio, have called a day off to celebrate Christopher Columbus Day. The Spurs coach sounded off against the policy in a recent interview after he was asked about President Joe Bidens proclamation for Indigenous Peoples Day. - Its way overdue for a country, said the Spurs coach. I would think there are a lot of people very happy about it. But I am a little confused about our city and why it is Indigenous Peoples Day slash Columbus Day. Columbus? He initiated a new-world genocide. Thats what he did.

Embiid did not play well in big stretches of the series they lost
