Ben Simmons Trade Thread Part 4

[Ballerhogger]

Refuses to put in the work and comes into camp as one of the most shredded and athletic players in the NBA, year after year. OK BRO.

He puts in work to maintain his aesthetic. So he basically works as hard as the AVERAGE social media influencer. Congrats to Ben for working as hard as Logan Paul.

What he's saying is he refuses to put in the work to improve his game. Which is why he hasn't made the leap from role player to star player. Which is why a handful of dudes in his own draft class have leapt him and there are handfuls of dudes entering the draft each year that have left him in the dust.

He's all-star, all-nba and all-nba defense 1st team and runner up DPOY. Some role player.

The way he has handled this off season has really devalued what he can do . Unfortunately

Read on Twitter

You would be looking at high offense team with spacing . Would be fun to see .

I'm checking out of this thread.

Ben won't get traded because his value isn't gonna change between now and next season. Whatever miracle notion of a disgruntled star player wanting out withstanding, the bottom line is such that even IF Ben only slightly improved on every weakness (we've talked about this ad nauseum) with 4 years left there's no trade that can be done. 4 years is too long to expect a realistic trade, and I challenge ANYONE to show proof of a three time All star, twice all defensive team DPOY running candidate with 4 years remaining on his contract being involved in ANY TRADE. But hey there's a first time for everything right? Either way I'm done speculating a Ben Simmons trade.

Anyone would be frustrated and annoyed when one of the most talented players I've ever seen in Ben Simmons refuses to put in the work to improve and just plays video games and collects paychecks.

Has nothing to do with basketball, it is evident he likes the bodybuilding lifestyle but basketball not so much.

Hmmm Ben must have been really hating all those hours he was putting in on the court with Maxey and all the other NBAers at Chris Johnsons the last couple of months then.
Much harder to find any evidence of this offseason's gym workouts - but there sure is hours of on court stuff to watch.

I wonder if LeBron practices correctly

i think he probably does

LeBron will tell you he does.

No real news or anything. Just more smoke that the Sixers aren't interested in Kevin Love. I wonder if this will turn into accepting Kevin Love if the Cavs include Garland instead of Sexton.

[76ciology]

I’d rather have Love. Because we’re the city of brotherly love. And I dont think a guard who can’t shoot or score has a place in the league.

Rubio is expiring, though. He can be useful in a 15 mpg McConnell role for us. Love has like 2 years, $60m left on his deal.

I feel like we have the leverage on this one. Cavs just invested heavily in the bigman positions this offseason. Extended Jarrett Allen to be their C. Used a top 5 pick on Evan Mobley. Gave a big free agent contract to Lauri Markannen. There is no space on their roster for another big money bigman. In order to offload that contract, they're going to have to give up the G of theirs that they like better (Garland).

[Negrodamus]

I've been watching a bunch of those NF full gameplay clips of both Maxey and Sexton and it just seems to me that Maxey is destined to become a better, more efficient player. Maybe it's because Sexton is asked to force more offense for a bad Cavs team, but for every good thing he does, he has a few plays where he looks undersized and out of control.

It’s clear Morey isn’t trading Ben unless he can screw someone over. Morey does not lose trades he’ll just let Ben twist in the wind if he does not show up for camp until a injury happens to another team. Then he’ll rip some dummy off.

Tell that to Sam Presti. That Westbrook trade might go down as one of the WOATs.

And it wasnt just a bad trade in hindsight. The minute that trade occurred, I remember most people were predicting it wasn’t going to work.

One bad trade but since 2007 Darrell Morey has a third best winning percentage of any GM in the NBA. That’s not blind luck.

I know someone who’s great at making trades.
Elton Brand.

Hell.. we could have landed Harden if only we let brand handle it and not let Fertita bamboozeled us

Once again the 3rd highest winning percentage since 2007. That’s not blind luck.

Unfortunately

I'm sure you're real beat up over it
