That's never going to happen tho.
Last year were talkings Smart for Beasley+1st. I was a big fan of that trade.
And Wolves rejected, that could have had sense unless cause you gave 5 first and 5 players for Gobert.

It pisses me off. The Celtics are playing ancient Al Horford and some so-so centers, the Sixers have Embiid, the MVP and probably the most unguardable player in the league, yet Boston is just blowing them out of the water having an MVP center just helps keep Philly alive enough to compete.
I know Boston is a great team but I just wish Centers had more impact in the game and the rules didn't disadvantage them so much. Embiid should be able to crush that frontcourt but the rules don't favor a big using their size and strength like they used to. Shaq talks a lot of trash about modern bigs but he would be so handcuffed compared to wings in this era.
Celtics got a better team and the Sixers did really well this series until the end but to me it's so overwhelmingly advantageous to go all in on wing players and just get a decent center. The rules have really crippled the effectiveness of a n elite big man in the NBA playoffs.

A lazy selfish player that played a huge role in getting them from 13th to 7th position. It doesn't matter if he shot 1-9 in that game. He played great in the games before that which put the Lakers in the position to beat you in that play in game. Keep drinking that copium, I guess.
You’re the one who explicitly brought up the play in game. Anyway Dlo isn’t a winning player. I think Lebron and AD probably have a little more to do with the Lakers success.
I brought the play in game because the DLo trade made it possible for Lakers to get into that position in the first place. How hard is that for you to understand?
Lebron barely played after the trade deadline because of his injury. It was AD, DLo and the rest of the guys. And they also had the number one defense during that stretch. So yeah, Dlo is a winning player. Too bad there aren't many on this team coz if they did, Wolves would still be in the playoffs right now.

Were you in those conversations? No?
Ok, then they are just rumors until you can prove otherwise. Reporting on rumors, talks of, someone wrote a tweet about, etc doesn't mean anything. It's just words someone tricked you into reading to sell ad space until you prove otherwise.
The worst part of this forum (and basketball fans in general) is the acting as if trade rumors or "talks" were somehow based in reality or actually on the table/passed on, but of course OUR franchise made the wrong decision AGAIN.
Keep rumors to rumor threads, not as hot air to hold up your flimsy opinions.
There is ZERO chance the Wolves would have passed on Beasley+1st for Smart. It would have effectively turned Robert Convington, Jordan Bell, Keita-Bates-Diop, Shabazz Napier, and Noah Vonleh + a 1st into Marcus Smart, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Juancho Hernangomez and the Hawks 2020 FRP.
Let's at least talk about things based in reality.

I can write wathever I want in any post, you are nobody to tell me otherwise. If you don't like it, there is a warning bottom just in the right corner of my post.
I know that you like to act so cocky, it's a internet forum and I am miles of kilometres away from you, in all forum there are troll rats. It must be so hard to act so rude for your five internet minutes of attention, but the reality is that I can make wathever I want.
It's known that you are a hard fanboy that likes to swallow it to the end and no let even one drop fall but that not means all of us enjoys that kind of fetish.
And if you have this kind of problem answering in an internet forum to opinions that you disagree, man, how sad it's your live.

I think Embiid was hurt or something. 76ers stopped going to Embiid in the 4th qtr of game 6. I didn't watch games 7 as we finally got golf season started in Minnesota. Embiid's stats looked really bad in game 7.
