Nah man Sacramento would be way more dangerous to poach Wemby given the proximity to Yosemite and Sequoia / Kings Canyon (prob my two favorite places on Earth).Gonna be a weird feeling when he leaves us to join the Utah Jazz
You really gotta see Wyoming if you have never been. Between Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and The Winds it's one of the most stunning places in the nation. Plus you're right across the Montana state line from the Beartooths.

God, anyone but Ainge.Gonna be a weird feeling when he leaves us to join the Utah Jazz
How far away is Wyoming from SA?
Yes, I thought it'd be a while before he's allowed to fly. I wonder if shorter trips make any difference?
That's really great to hear. Sounds like he's not too keen on the big cities. What was his comments about Las Vegas?
Joking aside, what's it like in Utah nature wise? Does it have some really nice places?Gonna be a weird feeling when he leaves us to join the Utah Jazz
Both places sound amazing. Oregon is a place I'd love to visit or even consider living if I ever moved to the US. I'd always heard great things about it nature wise, and I like those types of places much, much more over big cities.
I'll look these places up online. Obviously, I've heard of Yellowstone due to the TV series, but there was this do entary I was meaning to watch about it (Yellowstone: Battle for Life), but haven't really looked where I can stream it from.
Didn't realize Sacramento had some nice areas.
Guys
Why was Wemby allowed in the plane
Sucks so bad to see a generational talent waste away on the bench in LV. I feel for Wemby.
The whole state of Utah is scenic as . Salt Lake City itself has a spectacular backdrop with the Uinta Mountains just east of town. Though my favorite part of Utah is the Moab area, one of the most beautiful deserts you could ever see. Arches National Park is absolute can't miss.
Yellowstone is this huge valley that's basically the caldera of the Yellowstone supervolcano that erupts every few hundred thousand years and has tons of interesting animal life as well as geysers and hot springs of the like you won't see anywhere else in this world (google Grand Prismatic Spring for example). It has great mountain hikes too but IMO the Beartooths just NE of Yellowstone and Grand Teton area a little south of Yellowstone are even better for that.
Yosemite and Sequoia / Kings Canyon are definitely a drive from Sacramento, but are must sees if you like nature. If you ever plan on going out to California I can recommend some amazing stuff to do in the Yosemite area whether you want a relatively easy walk with a huge payoff (e.g., the Sentinel Dome hike) or a monster backpack off the beaten path to stunning lakes and mountains (say, the Sierra High Route).

Doing a summer road trip with the wife and kids to all the Utah parks this summer, really looking forward to it. Living in HI, where there is literally nowhere to drive, we’ve found these National Park roadtrips to be a lot of fun for our family vacations. We did all the way from Olympic & Rainer NPs to Santa Cruz last summer. We had planned to go all the way down to San Diego, but the PCH was closed through Big Sur so we just spent more time in NorCal
Long distance travel anything over 8 hours is a no no so soon after having a clot. First 3 months is the highest chance of it getting worse. Shorter distance travel is ok with proper precautions like staying well hydrated, moving up and about the cabin every hour.
Even the interstate coming into Salt Lake was scenic as when I took it from Moab lol. Utah is right up there with Cali and Montana for my favorite states in the union.
Just make sure you make reservations ahead of time. They fill up weeks in advance for the Utah parks iirc.
baseline bum seconded on Sequoia and Yosemite. Moro rock might be my favorite place on Earth tbh.
Oh man reservations are going to be fun this year with a bunch of the NPS laid off
Points even more to the clot being injury-caused.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing, for his recovery and chances at going back to 100 percent?
I'd guess it's a good thing in terms of not having to fear it beeing career ending and that all that counts.
It’s good that apparently they can point to the exact reason that caused the clot, meaning it’s not a genetic one, which would threaten to cause further clots, like in Chris Bosh’s case. That’s why they seem so sure it’s an isolated thing, just like it was for Ingram and Thompson.
This is important for his long term health and career because medically if someone has a second occurrence they’d need to be on blood thinners their whole life, thus no high level sports.
What i am elated here is that Wemby is cheering a lot, he is a supportive teammate >>>
.................................................. .................................
Good news then for our Wemby
Now if we can just strengthen the roster a little bit more.......
Take this with a grain of salt but I was talking to a person the other day who claims to know someone in the Spurs organization. They told me a few things the Spurs are not sharing about Wemby and his condition.
They said that Wemby was on a vacation in Colorado after the all-star break when he woke up with a swollen shoulder. He went to a doctor in Colorado and was told he needed immediate surgery. He headed down to Denver the next day and had the surgery and has been in recovery since then. Supposedly he is feeling really good now.
This person also doesn't believe the spurs have good leadership right now and that Holt JR is an idiot with no backbone who showed up to a place he was supposed to give a speech in sweats which did not impress the attendees. This person also said that Popovich is not going to be returning to coach the team, even though he may want to.
Who knows how much (if any) of this is true but this might explain why he has been flying if the blood clot has already been taken care of through surgery. Also has me wondering how good Pop is really doing as we have still not seen him publicly since his stroke.
I don’t believe the surgery stuff… because there is no reason for the Spurs to lie about it. There is nothing to be gained by telling the story they are telling and nothing to be lost by saying he got surgery already if he had. There is just no motive to lie and thus no reason to believe this.
The Holt Jr and Pop stuff is totally believable though. The fac that Pop is still coach today is a pretty good indication that Spurs leadership doesn’t have a backbone.
Yeah i didn't believe the surgery part at 1st either but if he still has a clot that they are using blood thinners to treat why would he be ok to fly?
It’s funny that IMMEDIATELY after winning that Dallas game and dropping from 8 to 10, they announced his shutdown.
Because the doctors said so?
