October 5, 20213 yr It's almost as if vaccine mandates work. We really need to encourage companies to mandate vaccines independent of the government. At a minimum, companies should require them for new hires, require testing for existing unvaccinated employees, and incentives for existing employees to get vaccinated. But a mandate is much simpler. Glad to see Wiggins decided to get vaccinated.

Glad to see Wiggins decided to get vaccinated. Sadly, the mandates don't work as well with those who think the world is flat: Sources: Brooklyn Nets still unclear on Kyrie Irving's vaccine intentions; preparing for possibility that he will miss home games, practices The Brooklyn Nets remain unclear on All-Star guard Kyrie Irving's ultimate intentions to get vaccinated and have made no decision on whether the organization will accommodate him as a part-time player this season, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. There had been previous optimism that Irving would get vaccinated and fulfill local governmental mandates allowing him to practice and play in New York this season, but that hope is waning, and Irving's continued resistance to vaccination has the Nets preparing for the possibility that they'll be without him for home practices and games for the foreseeable future, sources told ESPN. If Irving remains unvaccinated, the Nets could soon be faced with a decision on whether they'll allow Irving to come and go with the team in and out of New York -- or just keep him sidelined all together, sources said.

In another they are #21. The Lakers have next to nothing in draft capital and 3 players take up about 90% of the salary cap. The lack of draft picks and concentration of salary among 3 players stopped any hope of the Lakers trying to obtain help before the trade deadline. Right now the Lakers are #9 in the west and would be a play-in tournament team if the post season started today. It is not inconceivable that the Lakers could even miss the tournament as they are only 2 1/2 games ahead of #11 New Orleans.

October 18, 20222 yr Author lebron is expected to break kareem’s all-time nba scoring record on or around 1/25/23 — WHEN WILL LEBRON BREAK KAREEM’S RECORD? When LeBron James passedKarl Malone for second on the NBA's career regular-season points list, he set his sights firmly on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's current all-time leading scorer. James enters the 2022-23 season, his 20th in the NBA, needing only 1,326 points to surpass Abdul-Jabbar's career total of 38,387. Given that James has scored at least 1,500 points in 18 of his previous 19 seasons, it seems likely that he'll break the record this year, ending Abdul-Jabbar's 38-year run as the NBA's most prolific scorer. more: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/34584960/when-lebron-james-break-nba-career-points-record?appsrc=sc&RuleNumber=5
