8++ million withheld is a big deal. Regardless of what he has now (could easily be more than 10x debt/loan/asset/etc that and then some) you 100% need turnover to keep the balance sheets afloat.

If we reached a point when we decide to take a breather, we could probably trade him to some team looking to win.


As soon as someone offers assets. Very good move by Morey

My thoughts:
- Drummond is a beast. He even is an elite FT shooter (take note Nets and Warriors if you’re reading this)
- This team looks like the Detroit Pistons with Drummond lol
- You can see the problem with our offense. Our bigs, drummond, is asked to do some playmaking off a dribble hand off. A team like the Raps or Celts pesky defense of 2018, can make this a high TO rate action. On the opposite end, a offense heavy run by guards has a better flow.
- You know when Donovan Mitchell started his career having those low FG% games? Maxey should go through that and stop getting everyone involved. He should just jack up shots until he gets the flow. Because there’s no way out except for him to be a 16-20ppg scorer.
- Milton struggles against these type of defense because he’s a poor ball handler. He should always play with a guard. Unless he plays with Embiid where he’s like one of those PGs that run the triangle offense that all he needs to do is to bring down the ball, space the floor and cut to the basket.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Im thinking attaching Danny Green with Drummond.

Lets say Warriors would trade us Kuminga and fillers, you wouldnt do it?


Warriors need a lot of Koolaid to consider that.


Hahaha possibly. Its a scenario where Warriors feel they can win it all by the trade deadline.

If not, then how about for Moses Moody instead?


GSW hang up the phone and laugh at us.

I mean we get pick 30ish back or a young prospect that’s a successful outcome for a min signing and filler.

Green’s cliff might already be here.

Ah man missed the game, how'd it go?

Near tripple dub for Maxey on about 40% 3s with 10FTA is my bet for the next gen starting PG. Oh don't forget defense, 2 steals a block + deflections I'm sure.

Our problem is that everybody on the team including Embiid/Harris needs to at some degree whether medium or super high needs a setup man.

We just lost our only one.

Our offense and defense will take a hit without a good enough player coming back.

If only the trio was Embiid/Ingram/Ben.

About as badly it can look which is saying abit because we do put together Frankenstein squads.

Maxey has a long long way to (no bueno for me), Drummond was a bargain pickup, Milton/Thybulle should be sold high to the right bidder, Reed probably won’t make it and Korkmaz wasn’t Korklord so he wasn’t good. Bright side Joe certainly looks a player to keep around does nice things on both ends of the court and is always involved even when not getting touches.

You didn’t miss much lol

I’d say no not a chance in the world. Rich don’t operate like normal folk. They run up huge expenditure sheets, so constant cash flow is a must.

Can’t buy multiple multi million dollar houses even if he never spent a cent on other things (which is a crap ton of sunk fallacies but he’s rich for the time being) on a rookie contract and sponsorship deals.

Isnt how finances work.

Hence why a large % of sportstars go bust. Being young you don’t really have a clue on financial responsibility.... now just add on multiple zeros on your pay and your a boy with all the territory and nice things that come with it.

Maxey has to jack it up. He will not get that opportunity ever again. He has to take 15-20 shots a game.

Disagree, rich get nice things as status goes, but it’s a head in the sand mentality if you don’t think they operate different from normal people.

50 million dollar debt let’s say is nothing in reality. Being in the red is different

Remember Tyson. He still owes a crap ton but he’s wealthier than anyone of us here. If I mentioned the operations that people like that fall under it’s very eye opening where all of it goes and what comes back.

Essentially person X had 1000 (meaning 1000 of a million of total derivatives)

He’s left with 10 (10 million in what he keeps and no one can touch he owns that)

In laments terms for normal folk you’d be dead, homeless or in jail. Once had a 1000 you’re left with 10 that’s it.

How I know this? It’s been my career for over a decade.

My job is for people with money to make more of it or to turn it around within a less than ideal timeframe with a huge overload of liquid-able assets etc, and people who need to save (don’t have it) as much as they can because they are up to their knees in deep waters they should have never operated to begin with.

He’s on a completely different level to normal people

I have a friend whose son is on Simmons level

He bought an entire beachfront apartment complex out of one year’s endorsement money and the lawyer had to go to the beach to get him to sign the contract between surfs

Bought full or a % bought there’s a big difference.

Yes their earning power is nuts but so is there expenditure (can straight out be loads more)

One client literally owed tens of million of dollars, then he rocked up to our worklplace with a brand spanking new Ferrari just cause he had an injection of cash flow from our good practice lol.

I mean from my experience this isn’t anything new to me

I used to work for a guy who paid Kylie Minogue 1 million pounds to lypsynch at his 12yo daughter’s birthday party :lol:

Virat Kohli gets paid in apartment blocks

Adam Scott gets paid in waterfront lots

If Ben has borrowed 1 cent, then he’s an idiot

Yep an Aussie. Some funny conference meetings have occurred on how to make it so a huge upfront lump sum is a business transaction or a legit deal. Or how in the world did a million plus cash come out of the blue.

Some weird/hilarious stories as well that come from it.

But yep the Rich get a lot of “free stuff.”

The best story was one I actually witnessed it was funny asf but kind of sad if you think about it.

My gay mate is close with some C list celebrity and the associated group of women (won’t name her for confidentiality).

Anyway long story short she rocks up to my mates house dressed to the nines, fake boobs at all (she was hot but ditzy) and pulls out about 50k in green men (100$ notes in rubber bands for non Aus people here).

Turns out her side gig was domming for lonely businessman in city apartments lmfao. She said and I quote “I mean for two hours I can step on a person’s back and whip them and I get paid for it’s pretty fun.”

Then literally 15min later there’s a gay guy, me and her, with her half naked from the waist up in my mates bedroom just watching her run through what she does giving us both lap dances. My mate basically was egging her on lol

All I’m saying everyone that is a straight guy needs a popular gay guy 100% no question. Greatest wingmen ever (also a hot chick too).

Straight dudes is actually on the lower tier of ranking for wingmen lol.

“I still look at our roster, though I do worry about our size,” Rivers added. “Joel goes out of a game, Tobias not [out there] and we don’t have a lot after that, we get small quick. One thing I thought stood out was their length. Even at the guards, all their players are long and athletic"

Oh really Doc. Lose your 6'10" PG and it just hits you that size may be an issue.
