I think I have. I lost taste and smell last winter and had really minor aches but was a jackarse and worked because I was already covering for someone else and didnt want to call off myself. I didnt get tested that time.

I have only been tested once, and was negative. Ill be tested again this morning. I suspect itll be negative again, im just stuffy with a sore throat. but I guess with Omicron you never know.

If it were me I wouldn’t even get tested.  Just assume I have it and stear clear of people until I feel better and then get tested.  Feeding the system with all of these tests. 
 

Feel better.

yeah its a gigantic hassle. But... we had 3 basketball games last night and there was no way I could be away from people. Too crowded. I have another game today and with the sore throat starting it was enough to make me worry about the older gentleman that is always near me as our game manager. 

And I was also supposed to work in the doctors office this morning. 

 

 

 

Is there any chance that if we don't trade for Harden, we still move Tobi to create cap space and get back a couple role players?

How many tabs do you have open for trade info?  I have 4 currently.

i doubt it. i think the tobi trade rumors are posturing to make the nets think we'll just sign harden in the offseason if they don't trade him now.  i don't think morey would punt on this season by moving tobi for lesser players. 

[Wojnarowski] Harden's hopeful Morey secures trade for him today, but Morey and Sean Marks have yet to become engaged in serious dialogue on a deal. There’s an expectation sides will talk today and possibility of deal remains. Both teams are left measuring the risk-reward of a Harden deal now.

[Wojnarowski] ESPN Sources: Although Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden wants a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, he has resisted making that formal request out of fear of the public backlash that would come with asking out of a second franchise in consecutive seasons.

[Dumas] This likely comes down to the 3p deadline. Sixers hopeful for a package of James Harden, Patty Mills, and Bruce Brown. Nets are hopeful for a package of Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Matisse Thybulle, and Andre Drummond.

Id say maybe it if we knew we had a Tobi trade in place that provides frontcourt depth. Or knew we could sign Thompson on a buyout. 

But as of now I dont see how we can give up that package.

If we are giving up Drummond, we need to get Aldridge back.

My position.

So you’re punting on the season?  Or hoping to remain competitive while clearing cap?

Get Young from the buyout market and ask for Aldridge back in the trade.  He is averaging 13.4 ppg while playing 23 minutes.

Yeah.  They'd do an offseason dump to OKC or some other team with space.  No rush if they're not getting Harden.

This.  If Tobi is our #2 option, we won't be good enough anyway.

Harden is covering his ass if he’s not traded, not to look like the guy he is.

I dont think theyre just going to throw Aldridge in.

Thad Young does nothing to fill the void at backup Center that Drummond would leave.

Sounds to me like we can get Harden for next to nothing if we wait until the off season. I'm not giving up much more than Ben at this point. 

Morey got played.
