Send Simmons to a third team, like the Dubs. Send that return to the Pels.

Draft is 3 weeks from tonight. Do you guys think Morey makes the deal before/on draft night or this drifts into Free Agnecy (Aug 2 beyond)

Depends if he wants draft capital back either to use or to trade. Its easier to move prior or during the draft. So if Golden State is the trade partner...it probably has to be during or before. Same thing for the Cavs to a lesser extent.

Free agency. If we want any draft picks in this year's draft, I imagine there will be handshake deals to draft those players and send them over after FA. I think we'll have more flexibility, especially with S&T deals.

Unless he sees someone he really likes its likely after the draft
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

The one that wants to be point guard, drive into the lane and throw it to someone else.


I'd be shocked if Ben Simmons cared enough to throw a fit over his role on whatever team he plays for.


Moronic thing to say. Listen to what JJ and TJ said about him as a teammate on their pod.

Learn to make your points without needless insults. If you cannot make your point without insulting someone, then you probably don't have much of a point to make.

I wasn't insulting him, just what he is saying.

I must admit, Syntax is right on this one. We all saw what a temper tantrum wittle baby ben threw when fans & media dared suggest he shouldn't play PG. So yes, Ben cares when it means he doesn't get his way or he's lost his security binky and blanket.

It doesn't matter. What you said was entirely needless and adds nothing to the discussion.

Did you just read what Black Mage said about Ben losing his "security binky and blanket".

Do you honestly not understanding the difference between saying that a poster's statement was moronic and saying something about player that isn't on this board? I'm not continuing to go back and forth with you. Either follow the rules or go elsewhere. I mean really - all this because you want to make a statement like "moronic thing to say"
