And I’m happy about that

    Yeah, this is a fun time. I never follow any trades, so I'm always surprised to see the rosters. Melo went to the Lakers?

    Does anyone know what's going on with Kyrie? The announcers were talking about it during the Nets game, but I'm not sure what happened.

      Kyrie is becoming a chud and refusing to follow the NBA’s vaccine mandate. So he won’t be able to play.

      I don’t watch the games (I’m more of a college basketball fan), but I enjoy swinging in for the drama every so often.

        Yeah, I read an article and I guess he's into some anti-vax stuff right now. They were also saying that regardless of the NBA, he'd be violating NY's vaccine protocol. So, can't practice and can't play. I guess we'll see what happens there.

        Seems like maybe it's more the cities than the NBA, I guess. Talking about NY and San Francisco with Wiggins.

      From what I gather, NY has a vaccine mandate for big events (like a basketball game), and Kyrie is refusing to get the vaccine. NBA doesn't mandate the vaccine, so he would only be able to play away games.

      But the Nets decided to keep him out of the games completely until he gets it, rather than let him play away and sit out home games for his own selfish reasons.

        He actually does some good civil rights work . Let’s not dismiss that work because he’s wrong on this issue. He never said anything about this being about civil rights
