Yep, Finch could definitely be gone if we didn't snap him up, coaches are dropping left and right.

Ben Simmons is getting absolutely murdered. It's like a smear campaign now. Stephen A was talking about how he got a text from someone close to the Sixers who said Simmons never works, is a primadonna, the team has to baby him, etc. This is also fueling the "Jimmy never liked Simmons." talk. Best believe that if we get Simmons the critical microscope will be extremely large and people will be talking about how Jimmy was right to hate them because they suck/are babies.

Also the games against the Sixers will be extremely heated, the Sixer fans will go ape crap against Ben and I am sure if we trade someone like say, Beasley he will be fired up to stick it to us, those games would have massive heat every season.

We now live in a universe where people think that Ben Simmons for Andrew Wiggins is a good trade.

Man all these young guys like booker, Trae young, doncic, ja mordant emerging into superstars in the playoffs. While some highly drafted players like simmons, dlo, Wiggins haven't improved much at all since their rookie yrs. Dlo wouldn't be able to drop 40, 50 pts like these guys. Cuz he's too 1 dimensional just like to launch 3s and long js. Make himself predictable and easy to guard. He hates attacking the rim just like Ben simmons hates shooting the ball.

We don't need DLO to do that..we're banking on Anthony Edwards to be that guy..having KAT/DLO/Beas next to him would be better than anything these other guys have around him if he can reach that superstar level
