Windhorst saying Pels still not interested in trading AD to LA.

Embiid, AD and Butler is a legit big 3. 2 superstars and 1 top 20-30 star player.

We’d have to move Simmons, he doesn’t fit with Zion, unless there was some kind of 3 team deal.

I like the Simmons for Zion deal, lol. I’m not sure Griffin does though.

I'd stick with Simmons over Zion.

If you're the Pels, would you give-up value of return over fit? I mean.. you'd rather trade AD for Buddy Hield over Ben Simmons?

Having Ben and Zion as your team's cornerstone is a great way to start a team.

I think they would have fit issues. But no, not Buddy Hield.

I’m taking Zion, he’s got a motor, he isn’t afraid to shoot and athletically wise, no one has seen anything like him.

I also love his attitude, most guys would have sat out after that injury and waited for the draft, he went back and played, I think that says a lot about the kid.

If we can somehow use our cap space to also acquire Jrue, then maybe. Can't lose Harris + all our depth + Simmons for just AD IMO.

Embiid's and AD's games are a terrible fit. They both occupy similar spots on the court, neither is a good 3 point shooter and more importantly neither wants to be the spacer. You basically will destroy the chemistry of the team and AD will leave next year.

If you trade Simmons you need a wing that can create for himself and others and is a good shooter. Easier said than done.

Turner is shooting 22% in the playoffs.

Jimmy can run PnR with AD and his elite mid range game. While Embiid is at the dunker spot.

Embiid can post and have AD at the top of the key.

AD is like KAT, they need to play with a guy like Embiid. On the other hand, Simmons needs to play with a guy opposite of Embiid. Simmons needs pace and spacing on offense.

Tyreke Evans banned from the NBA for 2 years.

Well I can't say that i wasn't expecting a blowout from the bucks, they are just so much better.

This is even a bad look for us, we should have won vs this team.

Kawhi actually looking human this series.

If he had any games against us like he did these last two we'd still be playing.

[James40]

Knicks 15-1 favorites to win the NBA Championship next season??

Sixers 18-1.

Who are dudes expected to sign in NY this Summer?

Kyrie + KD. Possibly AD via trade.

He’s tired, beat down, and has now run into a machine, called the Bucks. The Bucks would slaughter us the same.

The Sixers couldn't get Reddick and Harris going, these guys are bringing Brogdon and Illysova off the bench to kill it, not to mention Mirotic, Middleton, and Giannis.

Their size will give GS problems if they don’t get KD back.

Kyrie and KD, ehh, nice. Adding AD, they’re gonna be pretty damn good if that goes through.

I agree they would've beaten us too, but I think we actually match up decently well against them. Unlike Toronto, they have no one who can hang with JoJo.

Is middleton doing a better job than Ben on defense on Kawhi? Atleast just as good? I havent watched that series

[76ciology]

Tyreke’s drug problem explains how he’s career has turned out. Hope he recovers.

Totally disagree. Styles make fights and Lopez hasn't got nothing for Joel and Tobias and Butler can easily stay with Mirotic and Middleton. Bledsoe has also been a none factor in this series so I couldn't see him stopping Ben tbh. Their bench would be an advantage but I still believe we match up very well with that team. As for Harris, he averaged 15 ppg against Toronto whilst Middleton's two scores thus far against them are 11 and 12 points so it looks like Kawhi is giving him that work.

Let me remind u. This is playoff defense against an elite defensive team. Giannis is modern day wilt.

[Kobblehead]

Giannis will be a tough mountain to climb in the Eastern Conference in the coming years. Especially if we continue to go to battle with no real firepower in terms of multilevel scorers.

[ProcessDoctor]

While Giannias is leading the way, it can't be overstated how good Milwaukee's other 8 have been playing. They are legit 9-deep.

If they continue playing this way, they will be NBA Champions this season.

They should make every attempt to retain Middleton, Brogdon, Mirotic, and Lopez.
