    honestly, I don't see a lot of difference between Simmons refusing to report, and what Kyrie is doing. Not from the impact on their teams

    Simmons isn’t putting other people’s health at risk. That’s a big difference.

    Nets should just trade Kyrie for Simmons.

    Kyrie is an idealist. He should just buy vacc certificate, like Wiggins, and play.

    I’d be willing to make Kyrie a fake vaccination card from my Walgreens vax card for half of the earnings he can lose for not being vaccinated.
    I got a printer.

    This is a joke. Please don’t send the Feds after me. Put me on some kind of list or something?

    You think Wiggins faked his certificate?

    It is strange how adamant he was as about not getting it, then all of a sudden was vaccinated.

    There is a big different.

    Simmons wants out of a work environment he believes is toxic and is willing to give up millions to do it.

    Kyrie is an idiot who believes the world is flat and vaccines are harmful. To be a public role model spreading these lies hurts not only himself but many others.

    Don't get excited - this still doesn't make the Lakers the best team.

    I believe his point was they both hurt his team the same if neither are there and practicing.

    Neither is Kyrie. That's a big lie.

    of course he’s not putting others’ health at risk. because he’s not allowed to by being forced to stay away. can’t harm anyone if he’s not there.

    if he was allowed he'd be tested frequently. Probably safer than others considering the amount of tests they require.
