hes prob out for the season
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 16:37 (two years ago) link
feels like there should be a second rounder going from denver to san ant here

there is
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, January 19, 2022 11:06 AM (twenty-four minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
ah
xp i am thinking not
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 16:37 (two years ago) link
a better question would prob be whether bol bol plays another minute of NBA basketball period
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 16:49 (two years ago) link
bol (not bol)
― class project pat (m bison), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 16:50 (two years ago) link
if your team is short multiple bols this is the most efficient move you can make
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 17:25 (two years ago) link
two bol or not two bol that is the celtics question
― Heez, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link
celtics go bol-ing (headline suggesting)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 17:38 (two years ago) link
bol cut never a good look

idk if this is real or what but
REPORT: The Pistons made a trade offer of Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, Kelly Olynyk and a 1st-round pick to the 76ers for Ben Simmons, via B/R. The 76ers were not excited about the offer. pic.twitter.com/fBSuCKX6nv— Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) January 18, 2022

feels real. detroit would certainly have no reason not to offer that, and i wouldn't be excited about it either.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:00 (two years ago) link
things have gotten so weird I don't even know what a reasonable offer for Simmons is anymore
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:00 (two years ago) link
imo thats a very good offer for simmons i do not see them doing better
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:01 (two years ago) link
I don't even know what a reasonable offer for Simmons is anymore
The longer Simmons sits out, the truer that becomes. Does he even practice with the team these days?
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:08 (two years ago) link
yeah that’s not a bad offer imo
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:15 (two years ago) link
he does not practice with the team
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:27 (two years ago) link
deal seems fine and the exact type of deal teams should be throwing out there.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:28 (two years ago) link
i assume there’d be protections on a pick from detroit but that feels fairly valuable as a flippable asset. obv daryl not gonna acquiesce to a deal like that tho we already know this
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:45 (two years ago) link
hes prob gonna have to eventually idk
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:00 (two years ago) link
saw there was an article today about how joel is totally on board with morey taking forever to trade simmons, which idk what the point of planting these obviously planted stories is
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:02 (two years ago) link
seems like there's a problem with maxing out the value you're gonna get on a guy if everyone's last memories of the him is "i don't want to dunk and we lost" and "i did practice with my phone in my pocket" and "everyone on my team hates me" and also that was months and months ago, not exactly sure what ol' dar's really thinking here
― Clay, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:28 (two years ago) link
correct…
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:29 (two years ago) link
yeah simmons couldve just had a bad playoffs in a normal way and still been well regarded around the league but being scared to shoot and then refusing to show up to work can not have been good for his stock
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:34 (two years ago) link
feel like theres a good chance the sixers are bluffing here and will end up taking some sort of deal like detroits
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:35 (two years ago) link
his stock basically bottomed out with one single non-injury related play which is completely unheard of. his teammates and coaches reactions to it just made it worse they coulda easily been like man he just thought the defender was there and made the wrong read he's still amazing and a part of our future but instead doc was like yeaaaaah lol he sucks and we cant win with him. pretty baffling to me that doc survived that honestly. basically burned a massive asset and at minimum half a season of other players to help.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:48 (two years ago) link
yeah truly wild shit from doc
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:49 (two years ago) link
the funny thing was... it wasnt even a bad play he was off balance and under the basket and did not actually have an easy dunk
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:50 (two years ago) link
the detroit offer makes a lot of sense and is good imo!!! but im v high on saddiq bey and kelly o would make a great backup for joel so he's not having to play so many minutes.
― class project pat (m bison), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:51 (two years ago) link
i mean he had a shot but it wasnt the uncontested dunk everyone says xp self
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:51 (two years ago) link
yeah it was just the nadir of his play in that series
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:52 (two years ago) link
yeah it was emblematic of something (being afraid to shoot)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:52 (two years ago) link
― class project pat (m bison), Wednesday, January 19, 2022 4:51 PM (one minute ago) bookmarkflaglink
beys shooting numbers are concerning but other than that seems like a pretty good deal + they could bring in a third team to flip that pick for another guy and end up pretty stacked
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:54 (two years ago) link
that deal would make even more sense if bey had made improvements on his rookie season but yeah instead hes shooting 38/33 splits with a green light
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:56 (two years ago) link
if detroit gave them their unprotected or lightly protected 2023 pick thats pretty valuable
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:56 (two years ago) link
i'm honestly a little more confused about that deal for detroit! but at least they've got the right idea (playing ben at a position that is not point guard)
― Clay, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:56 (two years ago) link
detroit is looking around and saying hey why not play ben simmons at center after all he is tall and cannot shoot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:58 (two years ago) link
ben rejects this thesis and would sulk at center
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:01 (two years ago) link
he will be fine he will like it
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:03 (two years ago) link
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:03 (two years ago) link
i highly doubt simmons ends up in detroit but if you were gonna build a team around simmons cade cunningham would be a pretty great fit i think in that a. he’s a perimeter player b. he seems to have a high basketball IQ, is a good passer etc. feel like they could figure some stuff out if they had some shooting around them
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:05 (two years ago) link
watched the pistons last night and the dubs were up by ~40 at one point, just some of the worst defense you can imagine. warriors were playing at about 75% speed and were walking into layups, backdoor cuts or kicking out to 3s with no one within 15 feet. just truly detestable play. ben would help there big time.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:05 (two years ago) link
cade skill set is the same reason why i like the combo of ben and lamelo
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:07 (two years ago) link
hornets should def be trying to get ben
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:07 (two years ago) link
i think the problem there is the sixers would likely want bridges and i don’t think i’d do that if i was philly. but if you could give them any other amount/combo of players and a pick or two i’d strongly consider it. lonzo + bridges + simmons would be a nightmare in transition & could play some interesting switchable defense too
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:11 (two years ago) link
the best player the sixers are getting in that detroit package is….jeremi grant
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 22:32 (two years ago) link
feels like that trade sets up an answer to their potential for a playoff injury sinking them instantly

the extraordinary nature of his team's reaction is just evidence that the guy is an asshole diva snake, all the more underscored by his conduct this season, hope he gets banned for life for being a punk ass chump
― auld gang syne (k3vin k.), Thursday, 20 January 2022 00:08 (two years ago) link
It’s not just the non-dunk didn’t he like not take a single 4th quarter shot throughout that entire series

kev tell us how you really fell lol
