Pelicans definitely made the right move in sacking SVG.
He was ahead of the curve with those Dwight Howard Magic teams launching nonstop threes but that Pelicans team had no clue until toward the end when Zion was unleashed.

I probably should consolidate the Haralabob talk into one thread, since it's both here and in the one Crowe started.
But yes, Sloppy Joe is correct. Obviously someone did an info dump to The Athletic about the dysfunction at the Mavericks front office, and they probably figured out it was Nelson.
They do need to get this situation under control if Doncic is pissed, though. If they drive him away, it will be a tremendous fail which they will regret for a very long time.
LOL Sixers.
The Bucks loss was bad but at least was on the road and because of a literal all time performance from Durant.
One of the most comprehensive choke jobs I can remember, top to bottom.

Embiid basically lost the last 2 games with brutal 4th quarters. But that being said, there is no one else on this team willing or able to take over. They could really use Jimmy Butler or (healthy) James Harden right about now.
Monster Win for the Clippers without Kawhi. They played games without their stars all year and are prepared for this blow. It's over in game 6 and the Suns going down next.
Well, perfect timing on NY fully re-opening, Harden has plenty of strip club time available again.
CP3 story is confusing as fuck right now. Read articles from 2 major sites today, 1 said he was vaxxed, 1 said he wasn't. wtf.
One thing that also isn't being discussed much is that many of these pro teams are giving the Johnson & Johnson shot, which has a much lower efficacy rate than Pfizer/Moderna.
On the surface, it makes sense -- it's one shot instead of two, you get to fully vaccinated status faster, and healthy youngish athletes aren't likely to have bad COVID symptoms anyway. It's far more important for older guys like me to have the best vaccine available, than for pro athletes.
However, this might also be the reason why some athletes are getting COVID despite being vaccinated, which of course is disruptive to the league, and can completely fuck up important situations like the playoffs.
The lack of serious COVID danger is also why some athletes simply won't take the vaccine. If you're 25, in great shape, and healthy, it's not unreasonable to fear the vaccine more than COVID itself. In fact, I don't even cast judgment upon young people who are refusing the vaccine, as it's actually a reasonable decision to forego it. At my age, not so much.
LOL Brooklyn not finishing them off. Lost semi big on this game.
Milwaukee able to overcome disastrous play calling by Bud throughout.
The Clippers and Bucks both gutting out huge games is incredible

Sixers, oof. So glad this trash team is gone.
Now will be selling on Ben Simmons at the absolute nadir of his value. Can still be a really important player on a winning team but Philly will get peanuts in return.
CJ McCollum + player feels fair.

I think it is about as close to a perfect trade as possible now. They each bring their own faults with them, but their positives are what each team desperately needs. Now, in normal times, Simmons would be worth more, as his lack of shooting can hypothetically be fixed. You can try to make CJ better on D, but you can't teach size.
After this series though, I think 1 for 1 makes sense, as Simmons perceived value is probably lower than it should be. If I'm the blazers though, I'd have no issue throwing in a pick as well.
Imagine the PnR game with Dame and Simmons. Think Steph and Draymond.
