Frank Vogel on his decision to sub out Russell Westbrook for the final four minutes of the game: “Playing the guys that I thought were going to win the game”— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) January 20, 2022

Russ was 5/17 fg up to that point. They need to find a way to cut his FGA in half and give those to Malik Monk

Might be worth a shot

feels like the russ thing is reaching some sort of breaking point, if he’s gonna throw tantrums about being benched in crunch time anyway

teams should stop giving zillion dollar maxes to 30+ year old point guards who are obviously on the way downhill, just a thought i've been nursing recently

Weird! You would have to think the NBA will fine or suspend him. Otherwise, zone defense is going to look mighty strange going forward.

Sources say there is hope Ball can monitor knee and play through it, but if he can't, he may require a minor procedure which would sideline him for several weeks. https://t.co/8Hetg2ZYQr— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 20, 2022

New story: Frank Vogel’s decision to bench Russell Westbrook was sanctioned by Lakers management, sources told ESPN. With the team teetering around .500 at the midway point, the staff in essence was told “you got to do what you got to do” with Westbrook https://t.co/DSKiaBSHSe— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) January 20, 2022

The Chicago Bulls and guard Lonzo Ball are expected to make a decision on undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus injury in his left knee in the next 24-to-48 hours, a procedure that would sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks, sources tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) January 20, 2022
just get the surgery. if that’s the timeline he’ll be ready for the playoffs.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 January 2022 15:47 (two years ago) link
xp just the idea that you’d need clearance from management for a substitution pattern… very Lakers
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Thursday, 20 January 2022 15:51 (two years ago) link
Yeah, even if he's not quite 100%, waiting is never a good idea.

Sacramento has considered packaging Buddy Hield, Tyrese Haliburton, Harrison Barnes and two first-round picks for Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle, per @PompeyOnSixers “However, the source said the Sixers aren’t interested in that package.” pic.twitter.com/fNHFG2GKGs— NBA Central (@TheNBACentral) January 19, 2022

how you gonna say no to that!
― Spottie, Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:30 (two years ago) link
that three players that help right now and halburton could be a multiple time all star.
the bigger question is why would the kings be looking to move haliburton? over fox?
― Spottie, Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
i guess if u feel that fox can score more and simmons takes up defensive slack, but its the kings so i wouldnt read too deeply into it
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:35 (two years ago) link
fox & simmons is a pairing made in hell so it does seem perfect for the kings
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:37 (two years ago) link
i feel like ultimately the idea that the kings would trade three players w/ value plus two first round picks for simmons, thybulle, and a terrible contract doesn't pass the smell test
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:38 (two years ago) link
but its the kings
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:40 (two years ago) link
that trade would put the 76ers up there with the bucks and healthy nets imo

rumor comes from a philly beat writer, dont know if hes considered reliable tho

i'm hoping this plays out w/ morey doing nothing this season and then dumping ben in the offseason for harden. as someone who wants to see the funniest most terrible thing happen to the sixers
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link
that does feel like the right outcome
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link
that def feels like whats happening, wouldnt be shocked if there was some morey and harden backchannel tampering going on
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link
That's been the rumor in Philly media for at least a week or two now. Morey is keeping open the Harden possibility and so won't be making a move in until the offseason.

Since Morey's choices around Simmons until now have been almost impossible to fathom, that rumor makes about as much sense out of what we can see as any explanation I've heard so far. Doesn't mean it makes any real sense, but it gets a bit closer to it.
