ATL - Trade Deadline 2/10/22

[soxperry]

I honestly dont know why Brooklyn would trade for Simmons, though. If he's on the court you can ignore him when you're on defense and put more attention on KD. That alone would be a no for me.

Contrariwise, i do not want to see Harden lobbing passes to Embid like he's Capella on HGH

[BigO]

This proposed trade would be bad for Bucks. It would make the Nets and 76ers better, despite the hate here for Harden. Simmons will be happy to defer to Kyrie and KD. He's a great passer and defender. Best scenario for Bucks is the status qu.

[H2tObes]

Simmons is a really good fit for the Nets and Harden is a really good fit with the Sixers (Embiid). Would be way more scared of the Nets in this scenario, Simmons would be so happy to be playing with 2 guys who can completely take the offensive load off of him, and he would shine in the process.

Harden would probably get his feelings hurt by Philly fans and continue to brick in the playoffs, don't think that would work ultimately. Feel like Harden is inching closer and closer to that team cancer who isn't worth the baggage stage in his career

Exactly my take. The Nets have more than enough offense. This helps bolster their defense a lot and Simmons is certainly a good enough passer to find their open shooters. I imagine they'd try to play use him like we do Giannis.

Simmons has become underrated by some, he still has an intriguing unique skill set that could be utilized on the right team altho I have my doubts about his attitude/work ethic but those are the same problems with Harden too

He's definitely become underrated. Simmons on the Nets would be devastating.

[WeekapaugGroove]

Feels kind of wrong that Simmons could end up with such a good basketball fit after his shenanigans.

Would be fitting to see him suiting up for Sacramento…

I think of the year “Tragic” Johnson had a poor showing in the finals (Simmons/playoffs).

He came back with an absolute vengeance.

The difference between athletes w the heart of a champion…and Ben Simmons.

He’s young…I guess it’s possible he turns it around in the right environment.

If Harden couldn't get it done with KD, I don't see it with Embiid. Especially with the hit Philly's defense would take. Simmons on the Nets would concern me far more.

Are you talking about last year when they forced us to game 7 and was a toe away from advancing? Harden was playing hurt most of that series. If Harden was healthy the whole way, I bet they would've won.

That's not to discredit our title. Giannis and team deserved their ring. But being realistic, Harden and KD were a f-ing handful and are definitely ring caliber combination. MVP candidate Embiids and harden are also a dangerous duo. We sure did get cocky after winning the ship.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I'm still hoping Morey fs this up. Harden out again tonight. The nets could easily lose 10 straight and be 7th/8th seed by the time KD comes back. Get the number 1 seed and let them deal with with a tough round 1 and 2 and hope chemistry boils over of harden stays there.

Nice comeback by Charlotte to beat the Cavs

Yep. Fun to talk about this but we need the talks to blow up

Again with the toe thing, it's like casuals talking about how the Bucks should've kept Dirk. No matter what excuses you want to make for BKN, they are in year 3 with Kyrie and KD, year 2 with Harden, Kyrie & KD but all they have to show for it is 1 series win against a BOS team that was missing 4 of their top 9 rotation.

[tonyreyes123]

Yeah 76ers basically have our record with just Embiid and a bunch of guys. Bucks haven’t looked special all year, we’re on pace for a 2nd round knockout tbh

Dirk was predetermined and we werent drafting him. If the trade didn't go down, we wouldn't of have had dirk.

KD never played in 19-20 how are you counting that as year 1? Im talking about two teams in a point of time and if we go back to ECSF of 2021 game 1, I'm betting $1m on the nets to win.. if you are saying otherwise you are probably a liar

And you would be out $1m dollars for betting on a team that featured 11 players that missed at least half a season in the past 3 years, congratulations on the sound investment.

Is Simmons vaccinated?

Also I am so here for Philly paying Harden the max or super max or whatever it would be. Fitting end to the process.

He wasnt on october
