Maybe Shelburne didn't do a great job in her reporting.  Sean Marks says the team will see how Durant and Simmons' bodies feel after a couple more days of practice and take things from there.

Maybe.  Durant has always been reported to be out until early March, however, so I suppose it depends on what “a couple days” means.

With Simmons, I don't know if it is actually mental illness, or just issues or what but the Nets better be taking into consideration both his physical and mental readiness to play NBA basketball.  If he goes out there and misses his first 5 Free Throws (for example), how is that going to affect him?

I am just guessing here but I wonder if they are going to wait to bring back Simmons when Durant is back.  That might take a lot of pressure off Simmons.  The Nets are smart to take their time with this, to be very careful with it.

Reminds me of my favorite draft lines.  "He's two years away from being two years away."

Haha, yeah.  But if Simmons is on the Bruno Caboclo timeline, the Nets are going to be in trouble.

This could be an interesting off-season for

Lakers are a hot mess because they kowtowed to Lebron.  they're going nowhere anytime soon provided some dingbat GM doesn't volunteer to bail them out by taking on Lebron, AD and/or Westbrook for a lot of assets.

let them flounder around until those players leave in free agency for nothing and without any draft picks to replenish their roster.  with more and more players re-upping and bypassing free agency, Lakers will stink for a good 5 more years.

As much as I'm loving this it would have been so much sweeter if they hadn't gotten that 2020 championship. 

In a way this worked out perfectly for laker fans (as it is right now).  They got a championship and Lebron is still one championship shy of tying Kobe.  Yes it sucks to not have assets but in the end things will inevitably work out for the lakers.

What's his hoped for destination, I wonder?

Ben Simmons for Lebron?  Lol. 

Bron Bron for Horford and Smart, lol.

Lebron for Wiggins?

Lebron for Tobias Harris?

Lebron for Lowry and Duncan Robinson?

Lebron for Love?

Big news for the Nets...

Shams Charania: New York City has a plan to phase out the vaccine mandate in the coming weeks, Mayor Eric Adams says, at which point Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving would be cleared for home games. Spokesperson adds that current rules remain in place. – via Twitter ShamsCharania

He'll shock the world and go to Utah to play with Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Mike Conley & picks for LeBron.

Lebron isn't leaving, it means Pelinka is gone and frankly, he should be.  He did a terrible job with the roster, though it seems a lot of that is ownership getting cheap.  I mean there is no reason they couldn't have re-signed Caruso, Drummond, and Schroder (even after acquiring Westbrook) or done a better job in trying to keep Gasol from retiring.  There is no reason they had to sign guys like Jordan to roster spots.  Even if Lebron pushed them towards Westbrook, the rest of the roster is a mess that was entirely avoidable.  And if the reports are true that they could have traded Westbrook, THT, and the 27 1st for Wall and Wood, but didn't do the trade to save money, that is just crazy town.  Wood would be fantastic for them and Wall can't be a worse fit than Westbrook is.  And Lebron obviously wanted them to do something like that and they ignored him then to save money.  That doesn't even account for them not including THT in the Lowry trade last year.  How much different does last post season go if they had Lowry on their team (who would almost certainly still be there).  When you hire an agent to run your team, you get this (the Knicks are a mess also - coincidence, I think not).  Pelinka is gone not Lebron.  That seems pretty obvious.

Honestly, LeBron getting mad and wanting out could be the best thing for the Lakers.  They got their title, and now they’re in a bind for a couple of seasons.  But if they find a destination for LeBron and move AD, they can ride it out for a couple of seasons and target free agency when they have a clean cap.  Sure it will hurt that they don’t have their own draft picks, but what’s done is done and they got their title.  What they have now isn’t working, and they don’t have a good path to getting better immediately, but a clear cap in LA is a very powerful tool.
