Players added to the team didn't need much convincing.

James Jones talks about the construction of the Suns roster.


By Kellan Olson Arizona Sports:

“We wanted to add some depth on the perimeter knowing that with Chris and Devin (Booker) drawing a lot of attention going into the season, that there’d be opportunities for guys to come in and step in and make big plays. And we wanted guys that wouldn’t be afraid of the moment and that have proven that they can make big plays when it matters.”

By bringing back restricted free agents Dario Saric and Jevon Carter, acquiring wing Abdel Nader in the Paul trade and drafting Maryland big Jalen Smith in the lottery, Jones has formed a group that’s 13 players deep of guys that could realistically be expected to play minutes.

My question is if you complete the virus regimen, 1 or 2 shots required depending on which vaccine you take, do you still keep testing?

Ha, of course they will. Here in Romania I play In the American football league. They tested us before every game until like 3/4 of us tested positive. We still played anyway, no one was hospitalized.

the point being, it’s more political then anything else. The States lead the world in coronavirus hysteria.

Surprise

Quite surprising. Lindsey was pretty popular and was quickly becoming one of the “faces” of the Suns.

It is surprising she was furloughed with the season starting up soon.

Your point just shows you haven't been personally touched by anyone who has actually died from this virus. I'm not saying there isn't hysteria here in America, but minimizing it as "political" is a terrible mistake.

I personally know several people who have died. My Mother in law and father in law in their nineties are recovering from it. My wife and son both have it and are quarantining from it away from me. I have not seen them in weeks. I can vouch this is real! Wear your mask so it covers your nose and mouth! Wash your hands! Be safe!

Uhmmm, I have had it, my wife had it. My mother in law is one of the main medical directors in the nation. If she said it’s political it’s political.

Have 11,331 died in Romania from Covid? Romania is one of the poorest nations in Europe. They get 35,000 euro a pop for putting it on a death certificate. Audits show less then 500 have died from the Virus itself 2020 isn’t any higher for death rates in Romania from infectious diseases for the past ten years. I’m not a Covid denier but I’m also not a Covid fear monger. It’s hear it can be deadly but is on par with other respiratory diseases of the same nature.

It’s political worldwide? Well that seems an ill-informed comment.

Ah the pay for Covid fallacy that paints the healthcare system that is struggling against the pandemic as greedy corrupt individuals. Well played . . . four months ago when that idiocy tried to gain traction amongst the conspiracy theorists.
