Fantasy Trade Thread

[the_process]

I really dislike MInnesota as a trade partner

Edwards isn't a good enough creator to be a primary perimeter option. Beasley is an awful human being. Reid doesn't do enough things you want your bigman to do (rebound, defend in space). The only piece in the package I sorta like is Rubio.

Edwards would only be to flip to a third team.

I don’t see a world in which we trade Ben and Tobias. Especially in the same deal. That kind of stuff just doesn’t happen with that many moving parts unless teams are clearing room for max signings

It’s two separate deals.

For example option 1

Ben Simmons trade:
Wolves: Ben
Kings: Anthony Edwards (and fillers like rubio)
Sixers: Fox and Barnes

Tobias trade:
Cavs: Tobias, Milton and 28th (i decide to put Milton&28th here)
Sixers: Sexton and Nance

Bring him to Philadelphia, now.

[yuuby]

Minnesota fans are so delusional. Their team is on the brink of being moved yet they are proposing pupu platter offers of Rubio (bad contracr), Beasley (jail), and 1-2 picks with protections.

They have no future to look forward to if they dont make a major trade. KAT is a year away from demanding a trade when he only has 2 years left on his deal.

Russell only has 2 years remaining on his deal and your faced with having to overpay him again or let him walk.

Edwards is currently a terrible basketball player and might become good in his 4th year where Towns will be long gone.

Rosas is a smart GM he obviously knows he would ship Edwards plus salary for Simmons (we probably should get a pick tbh and I dont even like Bens game much). Simmons + KAT is a perfect fit for each of their deficiencies.

The only question for us is does rerouting Edwards in a trade to a 3rd team get us a better player than Simmons alone does?

I think it does since teams trading a star want to rebuild and get youth something that paying Simmons 4 years 140 million to be the 30th best player in basketball (in the regular season he isnt close to that in the playoffs) doesnt allow.

Get me Beal or SGA and I would love the trade.

Some of them don’t even want to give up picks!

If Simmons’ market value is only Rubio, Beasley, and one of Culver, McDaniels, or Hernangomez… you keep him and figure it out until he improves his value. Everyone knows in December and January he will go on a scoring tear to make the AS team. Trade him then.

I'd do one or the other. I don't think putting together 2 score first, no defense guards makes much sense.

CJ | Green | Covington | Simmons | Embiid
Or
Beal | Thybulle | Green | Harris | Embiid

If the Sixers get Beal why in the world would they want McCoulmn?
The Cleveland side is ridiculous there robbing the Sixers.
The Sixers won’t trade both Simmons and Harris period.

[Foshan]

The more i see Simmons news/trades pick up, the less i want to move him. I think we are going to be unpleasently shocked at how rough the regular season plays out next year with Embiid missing a lot of games, and Tobi and X having to carry us.

With that in mind, I'm warming more and more to the deal that is just Tobi for CJ with as little attached as possible from both sides.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Trade Tobias for that guard to get us over the hump. Ben Simmons at PF please God.

[cool93]

He'll still be as harmful in halfcourt offence.

Yeah, this is why we should focus to pump Ben’s value if we can’t get anything good for him.

I’d rather be strategic and creating favorable situations before executing my plans.

Once Embiid is nearing his return, we then trade both Tobi and Ben.

We may get sweeteners in the Ben trade than we can attach to Tobi for a better package.

And if you want to trade Tobi, trade him to someone who’s value is likely to increase than decrease relative to time elapsed, someone I dont think Cj is but a guy who could be is Sexton.

I think Ben and Sexton can compliment one another then you find some decent stretch 5. You’d then run modern basketball and pump those two’s value. Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if we end up even playing better than when we were playing with Biid!

Worse comes to worst, we just sit out Biid for the season. Then package the lottery pick and Ben for someone really good.

I find people here just want a new toy to be the popular guy in campus right away so they’re looking for quick fix. But these quick fix are the type of moves that can really destroy an entire program.

When value is not on your side, then you find ways to let time as your ally.

[51X3RF4N]

I'm honestly surprised at how many people are not seeing the Shams and Stein articles yesterday as anything more than Morey being a bit desperate trying to pump up Ben's value around the league.

Sixers release the info that basically says: "We're open for business even though everyone already knows that and still hasn't called us or offered enough. Don't you guys realize how good Ben is? Well, fine if you won't offer what we want then we will just keep him. After all, he is 25 and under contract blah blah."

If I'm an opposing GM and I have even a slight interest in Ben, this article just tells me that Morey is trying to create a bidding war that doesn't exist. So I stick to my guns and let another team outbid me if they dare.

If that’s the case, then Morey better be prepared to have a Harden situation on his hands. Because if he deals Ben for nothing, we come calling for his job. Better to bring him back, deal with the agent and the boos, until a real offer presents itself.

I personally take heart in the fact that the Kings are supposedly in. I’ll take either DeAaron Fox or Tyrese Hailburton as the cornerstone of a Ben deal and feel good about it, and Sacto desperately needs a star to get them in the playoffs.

I think it’s quite the opposite. We didn’t have plans of trading him, or concrete ones anyway, and the offers have been good enough that he put this out there.

[LeonJordanJr24]

Ben never requested a trade or said he was unhappy.

[the_process]

Ben never requested a trade or said he was unhappy.

People assume the meeting between Rich Paul and Daryl Morey was an unofficial trade request. I’m not saying it was or wasn’t, just putting that out there.
