The question is ... what's the best offer that keeps Philly in contention?

Sexton/Lauri/Love for Simmons

I meant from other teams ...
The Cavs should be done trading until Silver wakes up from his coma and remembers he banned an owner for life (which I agreed with).LivingLegend wrote:JonFromVA wrote:Harper4Ferry? wrote:Simmons would make us a much better team but I'm sure he doesn't actually want to play here and the cost is obviously going to be more than Love/Sexton/2 firsts.

Sexton/Lauri/Love/2 protected 1sts for Simmons/Maxey
No idea if that even works or not but hey I would do it
Harper4Ferry? wrote:I actually think Simmons/Garland OR Sexton/Okoro/Markannen/Allen is a pretty disruptive starting 5 and obviously needs some bench shooting but you could easily hide Garland or Sexton(whomever doesn't get traded for Simmons) on defense. They'd get a lot of transition scoring.

There's been rumblings since Kyrie took paternity leave, or whatever, and now that DAJ got traded, being Durant's friend is looking to be as important as being LBJ's friend.JonFromVA wrote:jbk1234 wrote:Lol, wut?

When you've earned $160M, you should have options; but Kyrie has only been able to play through the end of the season one time in the past 4 seasons, and that one time was an unmitigated disaster.
So, on one hand it would seem to be due diligence to see if the Nets can find someone more reliable than Kyrie; but given their "house of cards" was built on Kyrie's desire to play in New York they're playing with fire if they do anything other than hanging up the phone if his name came up in trade talks.
Could the Nets be that stupid? Or did someone just ask Kyrie/agent a speculative question and got an answer?

The fall Kyrie has taken since that 2016 title is mind blowing. Remember he used to be really cool? Really fun and made other teams jealous? What the hell happened to that guy.
Fame and money go to your head man. I honestly applaud those who are able to make it through a 15 year career and be the same person when they come out of the other side.

Kyrie's issues started here on his rookie contract and the Cavs just kept them under wraps (to the extent they were able). It's why I'm not sure we've heard the entire story with respect to KPJ.

Fedor and others have reported there were multiple incidents with kpj .... we can only imagine what they were and whether they will resurface elsewhere.
The Cavs and Cleveland fans and media protect our own, but a lot of people were surprised when Kyrie resigned after his rookie deal - his fathers influence and his new jersey roots were well known.

I'll leave it to the lawyers, but I doubt the NBA has a leg to stand on here if as reported they are leaning on the "failure to perform" clause. The players are presumably ready to perform, but local regulations are not permitting it.

The union is in a tough spot here. The reality is that like 90% of the players are vaccinated and some of them are starting to speak up about their teammates not getting vaccinated.
