Forget all the trades. Give Embiid the year off, send him to Qatar for those mysterious treatments again, fine Simmons the maximum allowable and go with the one year process and add a blue chipper in the draft and tell Klutch we'll do it all over again if we have to.

I'm here for Tobias the tank commander :lol:

This is a definitely better option than taking garbage like Hield or Beasley.

The Maxey stuff doesn't make sense. He could be the starting PG here, depending on the return, when Simmons is traded or at worst the 6th man from the bench.

In others team he's not only probably gonna be behind Simmons, on his second year and being a sophomore he is likely to fight for playing time. If Maxey leaked this he's and idiot, if Paul did it to pressure a Ben trade, Maxey should fire him.

What if it’s leaked because we are working on a package for someone bigger out of left field? Everyone assumes it has to be Lillard if it’s huge

Raskolnikov may not have been great like Napoleon but he would have dunked that basketball.

Send Ben Simmons to Siberia.

Then the person leaking this is an idiot because the Ben stuff is destined to lower his value and make the relation with Klutch even more ridiculous than already is.

What if it’s from the other team and they want Maxey but we’re reluctant to include him? Maybe for Fox?

Still stupid.... they're risking their relation with Klutch which by the way the league is going is stupid.

This was a Klutch move, it's the only way it makes sense

I don't want to trade Maxey but if it's Simmons + Maxey for Fox just get it over with.

It’s not ideal, but it is acceptable. Tobias for Barnes has to be part of the deal, though.

Hield, Fox, and Barnes for Harris, Maxey, and Simmons is almost an exact match salary wise.

I hate this is where we are now.

It is ridiculous that today contracts are apparently one way obligations that only bind the team. Absurd.

Harden, AD, PG13, Kawhi hell even going back to Shaq. Chris Paul the Players Associacion President even demanded a trade.

Let's not pretend this is only happening today.

Trade demands have happened before, but they've been wrong before too. Wanting a trade is one thing, threatening to not honour your contract is another. In the past when guys like Shaq wanted a trade there was pressure to trade the guy, but it was not "trade me to team X", and it was rarely accompanied with threats to sit out with fake injuries (and if it was, it was wrong). Shaq also wanted a trade because LA was moving on from him, it wasn't just a one way thing. Nor is Simmons obviously, but this is not the way to approach it. Why can't team refuse to honour contracts if players can? Practical reasons aside, I have yet to hear an ethical justification for it.

Straight Offer From Philly:

Edwards, McDaniels, Beasley and every pick Minne can send us without any protections. Either that or Minne can pull a "Flick" and go lick a freezing cold flag pole.


it's gonna be Prince, Beasley, McDaniels..3 firsts and a 2nd book it. one of the first will be top 3 protected.


Morey would lose his job accepting an offer this awful.

Lol, at this point that offer would be a good one. Ben isn't a star and even stars often return garbage in a trade when things turn ugly.
