    Orlando is loaded with exciting young guys. With growth, they should be blast to watch in a couple years.

    If I am the Sixers I take that trade in a heartbeat, I would assume Boston wants a bit more? Brown having a really good year

    But they have former Stotts assistants on the bench. I thought they were bad?

    The 6ers want Luka in return for a Simmons trade with Dallas.

    The 6ers want Giannis in a trade with Milwaukee.

    The 6ers want Jokic in a trade with Denver.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Jaylen Brown's really not at that level. Arguably, even Tatum isn't, but definitely not Brown. I wouldn't trade Brown straight across for Simmons, but talent-wise, the two players are relatively comparable.

    Yikes... his back was the injury that had him drop in the draft.

    The vaccine prevents infections of the original dominant variant, but since it was developed the Delta variant has emerged (thanks to people who weren't vaccinated) which is capable of breakthrough infections. However, these breakthrough infections are still of much lower severity than if you are not vaccinated.

    The booster shots are normal for vaccines and don't indicate that the original vaccination is totally ineffective, just that you're even better off with one. Plus, ideally, companies will keep working on new vaccines for the new variants. However, had every country followed the lead of countries like South Korea and followed sound protocols from the word go, then perhaps the Delta variant would never have emerged.

    Hope that clears up some things for you.
