how you gonna say no to that!

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.

Going to see the Dubs tonight, and we are going early to watch the shoot-around (the tickets came with an option to come early), because of course we want to watch the Splash Bros do their thing!

Daryl Morey says the Ben Simmons situation and how it’s gotten to this point is “very surprising.”“I think everyone needs to look in the mirror - including myself. … this is not a good situation. We’re all responsible.”— Harrison Sanford (@HarrisonSanford) January 20, 2022

Morey further explained that he figures almost every NBA player would be thrilled to play with Embiid, so even though Ben Simmons repeatedly announced to the entire world that he wouldn't return to the Sixers, Morey is very surprised that he actually won't return to play for the Sixers. This indicates Morey's head may be full of sand and someone should look into that possibility.

“We absolutely need to get an impact player, there’s an impact player that has to be in the top 30 of the league. Because Joel’s playing amazing and has lifted us into probably top five percent plus for the title just on his play, now we might be able to do it with a top-40 player who’s a great fit.”
this is hilarious to me

it's supposedly in this radio interview, the excerpt was quoted here

i love how he’s talking himself down in real time. went from star to top 30 player to top 40 player all in the span of one quote
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 January 2022 02:37 (two years ago) link
if daryl really will take a top 40 player in the NBA then he should have no problem trading simmons
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 January 2022 02:39 (two years ago) link
sounds like hes ready to deal!

This cannot be real. I refuse to believe someone would say this under the circumstances even if it were true.

it’s crazy to me that bismack plays with paul btw, have thought about this several times. though they don’t play a lot of minutes together
― auld gang syne (k3vin k.), Friday, 21 January 2022 03:22 (two years ago) link
They could have had Dejounte murray. He’s top 40 right?
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 21 January 2022 03:47 (two years ago) link
he’s prob gonna make the west all star team at this rate but do we know for a fact that that he was legitimately on the table?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 January 2022 03:49 (two years ago) link
he still isn’t really an outside shooter at all so i could see why they might’ve turned that down, given the reasons that you’re trading simmons. same thing with de’aaron fox. but it seems doubtful they’ll get a player better than murray, just in a vacuum, back at this point, tho perhaps the overall package will be better that what they could’ve gotten from the spurs
