Can I bribe a Mod to ban the next person to suggest Kyrie Irving? That's pretty much the equivalent of injecting Bleach to cure the Coronavirus. In other words, "You personally may not understand this, but, you really don't want to do that...."

You’re very wrong. He may be the only high impact player left we could ever obtain for Ben at this point. Do you want a shot at a chip or a headache free environment? I’ll get you some Advil to make it through kyries off the court stuff don’t worry

[Sportfan73]

Lillard and Beal aren’t going anywhere. Morey has been desperately waiting for the perfect deal, and he’s going to end up getting Andrew Wiggins.

Barring the Kings changing tune on Fox, Kyrie is your best bet.

Don’t think fox pushes the needle to championship like kyrie could potentially. The spacing would be Lillard like impact for Joel

I am happy to accept bribes but your milage may vary on whether they work.

Kyrie the player would be amazing. But it’d personally be hard for me to root for Kyrie the person. I will say that an Embiid-Kyrie versus KD-Harden-Simmons playoff series would have no shortage of juicy storylines.

I know there’s 100 million reasons why not, but for the sake of Joel’s prime, it’s time to consider kyrie if he would talk extension with us

I don't think it's necessarily a bad long term view of a move, but this would essentially be a wash of a year to trade for Kyrie. It would also be banking on the NBA (and the cities they're in) not mandating a COVID vaccine starting next year.

It's incredibly risky, but Kyrie is an infinitely better player than Ben Simmons.

Laughable that the Nets would want Ben Simmons.

The Nets notoriously require the players they bring in to be very stable, emotionally mature and never act up to demand a trade.

Nets get a more athletic Draymond Green alongside KD/Harden?

...Yeah that’s op. Harden will turn Ben into a 15ppg scorer without actually needing to score. He makes bigs better than what they are one of his special traits.

It’s KD and Harden they don’t need another scorer at all, especially when you have gunners alongside them (Harris, Mills).

Possibly, but we might not get to that point if the Bulls give us LaVine and an unprotected first for Ben. We might have to consider that offer.

Let's have an "Energizer Bunny Night" battery giveaway when Ben Simmons comes back to Philly for the first time with his new team.

F it all in for Ingram.

Or f it grab Irving for cheap. Let him do whatever. Just be like get the jab and then you can do whatever you like just make sure you play basketball. Spin it into you can make whatever ART you want on the floor. Kyries brain will then explode with the infinite universal possibilities.

Who knows I kind of what to see Kyrie wear a mask, with his jersey untucked, grabbing the mic before every game promoting flat earth society, smoking hookah while wearing a white robe and walking around with a Gandalf stick. If anything it would bring the LOTR/Fantasy fans out by the droves lmao.

Essentially Irving here equals final form Kyrie and who knows what they could be but I def want see it though.

Ingram would be good and that may be a team that is willing to rebuild around Zion with Minny picks.

The spacing with kyrie for Jo would be so elite

[Negrodamus]

I'd do Ingram for Ben, but I'm way more interested in Fox. I do think there are still limitations with Ingram while Fox is near a perfect fit with Embiid and the way our team is currently constructed.

[ProcessDoctor]

There are several reasons not to do Kyrie for Ben. It’s a nonstarter IMO.

Dame is now a pipedream. Beal is an antivaxxer and content with losing.

Fox or LaVine are absolute best-case scenarios IMO. Not sure Ingram is that dude but Im not opposed to that deal.

Morey wouldn’t do it, but I’d do CJ + RoCo + picks for Ben + Korkmaz.

McCollum/Maxey/Springer
Green/Curry/Milton
Covington/Thybulle/Joe
Harris/Niang/Reed
Embiid/Drummond/Bassey

Sure, you don't have another top-20 player next to Embiid but maybe top-30? A top-5 team defensively and borderline top-10 IMO.

[Sixerscan]

It's just so weird how bad this guy wants to get traded to a lottery team.
