Simmons? We don't need more guys that can't shoot 3's... Much rather have Cam Johnson or Jaden McDaniels

If you need to watch one game to form your opinion of a player, you're probably not good at your job lol.

who says it's just one game? we know they wanted claxton last year

They really should've got the Claxton deal done last year, now he's going to be the center piece of a Siakam deal? Lol

Yeah seriously, I'd be really concerned if Masai just pulls the trigger on a deal for Cam Thomas after tonight's game. :lol:

You can really tell who doesn’t watch basketball from people who want cam Thomas or Ben Simmons.

The nets would gladly get rid those guys for nothing.

Claxton perfect fit

But what happens when we win Wemby sweepstakes? *reversejinx*

All because Masai didn't want to give up an unprotected pick lol.

HumbleRen · Post #728 » by **HumbleRen** » Tue Feb 7, 2023 2:30 am

We're not doing that trade though. Masai would have to be on drugs to do that.

I'm thinking the same thing...Masai should've went after Claxton before his value skyrocketed

we're buying high here.

They are not trading Claxton unless it's pascal. He is their best defender. Like Claxton is more valuable than OG this season and he is cheap.

Honestly i just want FVV off the team and Cam Thomas back.

That train may have just left....

2 games don't mean ****. Fvv has an extended resume of being an elite player. Look at the analytics. Plus defense leadership allstar almost finals mvp. Cam Thomas has what 2 good scoring games? Big **** whoop. Does he even play defense? Cam Thomas in any sort of fvv trade is basically a rip off for them. Fvv holds the record for most poinrs in a game by a raptor. They get fvv a true champion seriously what sre you talking about.

This is interesting. The Nets are desperate and probably willing to mortgage the future to win now.

I know people don't like Ben, but this is a buy low op for us. Claxton I don't think anyone would argue not wanting he is an absolute stud.

I see Fred and Pascal both going to Nets for a haul. They go for the win now. Financially Freddie probably will resign with a big market team like the Nets.

Something like Pascal, Fred, Boucher for Simmons, Claxton, Harris, Cam Thomas and Curry and 2 firsts and a swap.

If we do this, maybe we can end up keeping OG and Trent.

Simmons - Thomas
Trent - Curry
OG - Harris
Barnes - Young
Claxton - Precious - Koloko

Our starting line will be a defensive beast features 3 potential DPOY. Our second line will be lights out 3 shooting. You could Argue starting Thomas at the one and moving Simmons to the 3 or 4 spot interchangeable with Barnes and deal OG for more depth.

Nets probably don't have enough for Pascal, let alone if they throw Simmons into the deal on top of it. Buying low doesn't mean paying alot for a negative asset.

Claxton is a young star with a ton of potential, I don't think there's too many of those on the market. I would definitely make that trade, but I assume if we get Claxton then Koloko is going back too.

How many teams in win now mode have a young budding star player to trade now and salaries to match Siakam?

This guy is the most selfish player in the league and doesn’t guard anyone. But of course people are judging him by 2 games where he’s on a heater.

Lol Cam Thomas is increasing his value significantly in one week.

You would trade Pascal and Fred in a deal with Simmons in it who is consider perhaps the worst contract in the league because you get two picks and a swap and Claxton? I like Claxton but come on.

What will happen?
