I remember when they wanted to give us Saric and Covington for Leonard and couldn't understand why we wouldn't do that.
That is such a delusional and trash franchise. Embid is going to figure this out sooner or later and want out.
I would love to take a shot at Simmons but they are crazy to think anyone in their right mind is going to give them a huge haul like that for him. Especially after opting out on the Olympics to chase supermodels...
Hahaha yeah I posted the audio snippet at the end of pg. 2 here. SO absurd. Only
one young guy? How nice of them! Why don't we throw in a billion dollars, some cap space relief by taking another dead weight contract off their hands, and a Fiesta flag.
I get negotiation tactics so that you end up with more than what your bottom line price is, but everyone saw what BS did in the POs, what his rep is since HS, how he's only ever reinforced it. Didn't help that their franchise player and coach publicly questioned him after the POs. Still a quality asset, but if he didn't have fundamental problems and fit he wouldn't have to be traded.
There's word of Morey waiting it out until Beal and / or Dame making up their minds about their futures with their franchises and although 76ers won't want all the picks assets as their window with Embiid is small, so they could flip these for one of those stars instead. Whatever. The cost is wayyyy too high.
Like I said - if we're parting with, say, DJ/Lonnie/picks/swaps, I'd love it for Jaylen Brown which balances out both teams, but we're not in the doing another franchise a favour at the expense of long term damage to ours business.
Oh dear...
