Yea, but the Philly fans will torched him once the season starts. He will be gone by mid season is my prediction

The Spurs today announced that they have waived forward Luka Samanic. Knew this was coming after the give up on this play last night. I've known Pop too long. We talked about it in the sports office as soon as we saw it. 1 said "Surprised he didn't have to walk home." pic.twitter.com/1zGexGCtWH

Honestly, seems kinda harsh to me. Samanic was beat and best case could have fouled him, but in a preseason game, I'm not sure letting up isn't the right move.
Umm, that's not tampering. That's smack-talking.

There’s a growing sentiment that the Clippers might end up being the front runner in the Luka sweepstakes if/when he has enough of the Mavs. Not sure I agree but that’s the latest thing, apparently.

UmmmHe adds that “a lot is riding” on both Kyrie Irving’s short and long-term future in Brooklyn.

Kosta Koufos, the 11-year veteran NBA center, is signing with the Ignite select team in the @nbagleague, league sources say. Koufos had multiple European offers but will join the Ignite instead.

Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is full participant, Nets say.

i guess Kyrie won’t be playing thenKyrie, in essence, no longer a member of the Nets so long as he can’t be a full-time player. Wow. pic.twitter.com/kuQpqqltsu

That's an interesting thought, though I am still struggling to see how/why NBA would fine someone for saying he can't believe 3 teams passed on the best player in the draft. Although it's mostly working out ok for two of them. And talent aside it does seem concerns about Luka's attitude were not completely unfounded. But silly youtubers these days seem more likely to criticize the Lillards and Beals for not demanding trades 2-3 years ago than they will a player indicating frustration while still on their rookie 4. They seem 50-50 on Zion demanding out being a good thing after 2 even.

Congrats Celtics fans on the most unnecessary jersey reimagining in sports.According to the NBA's LockerVision site, the Celtics will have a new court layout when they wear their "classic edition" uniforms this year: pic.twitter.com/lxr6EcpZzy

Imagine how a (talented) kid like that will react to Davion getting in his face defensively. I think there's a lotta disruption of opponents' offensive flows in our future as Kings fans.
Honestly, I credit him w/folding now. In terms of $millions lost, team disruption, and fan reception, the longer he stayed out the worse it was bound to get.
Game's most likable superstar. (Tho' Jokic is up there.)

And somebody likely got paid to design that. So is the problem in an era of "online" degrees, haha.

what about Embiid and Dame?
What kind of definition of "likeable" applies to both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid?
Embiid's sense of humor seems rather more "troll-like" than Antetokounmpo's, to me. He certainly comes across as the more polarizing player, IMO.
I mean, Embiid is relevant to my interests, but I would not characterize him as particularly "likeable," at least, not according to any commonly accepted definition of "likeable" that I've ever heard of.

I read the article. This is an incredible story.

Mavs edged out the Hornets by 68 points tonight. Would have tied the record for largest margin of victory if in the regular season.

I wonder if Irving will decide to retire? He says no, but I just don't see him changing his mind on the mandate. His career is on a weird trajectory as it is.

based on his salary thus far in his career, he can definitely retire but then do what? Lots of employers will require inoculation even if he chooses to no longer dribble a ball

I don't know what he would do but with that much cash he can figure it out.
He'll cave. This whole BS pivot into being a "voice for the voiceless" (how are you supposed to be the voice for the voiceless, when you refuse to speak, on the record?) is all about him trying set himself up to play martyr, when he eventually gets vaccinated, because his previous tactic wasn't getting him the traction he thought it would.
