Simmons Trade Thread - The Ocho

[Kobblehead]

With all the A tier players playing like crap this year (Harden, Beal, Lillard), the B tier guys who cost less should be the focus.

And of the B tier guys (Fox, Ingram, Gilgeous-Alexander, Russell), Dlo is by far the best fit. He's the most willing spacer of the bunch and he's the most willing passer of the bunch.

Dlo remains the answer hiding in plain sight.

And he's by far the worst player and a negative asset.

DLo has regressed as a shooter with a career low FG% of .388. His shooting splits are awful. 33% from three. His per is 16.1. Win Share of 1.5. He has a checkered injury history. Iffy defender. Making over $30 million a year. He is on his 4th team for good reason.

What's Bradford shooting from three this year? Does he play defense? What's his contract looking like?
What's Dame shooting from three this year? Does he play defense? What's his contract looking like?
What's Shai shooting from three this year? Does he play defense?
Is Brandon Ingram even shooting threes this year or is he living in the mid-range? Does he play defense?

My takes age like fine wine. The drawback of figuring out and spreading the truth too early is that nobody appreciate you in the moment!

I mean there's not a "Kobblehead' thread that took over the old Simmons trade thread.

Guessing you could look these things up.

OMG, I didn't realize we were 5 pages away from Part 9.

The record is 16 set by Ric Flair.

50 of what? The 24/7 belt?

Damn that's impressive. R-Truth is da goat.

Last I heard it was around 58 times .

Pure Comedy , similar in ways to this thread.

Set by Ric Flair, co-held with John Cena.

What do you guys think of this trade?

Boston gets Sabonis and filler

Indy gets Simmons

Philly gets Brown

Boston needs a lot more then filler to get that done.

I didn't appreciate Cena enough when he was there.

I allowed myself to get swayed by the perpetually unhappy smarks that ruin wrestling and booed him all the time.

Cena had a good look, was great on the mic, and was perfectly a sufficient (albert vanilla) ring worker. I miss him.

Line has already been drawn in the sand by teams interested in Simmons
Aka (we will make anyone on our roster available for Simmons as long as they are not considered part of our long terms plans
Timberwolves (Edwards/towns)
Kings (Haliburton/fox)
Portland (lillard)
Boston (brown/Tatum)
Now the pelicans (Ingram/Williamson)

Basically all we getting back are role players or McCollum if we want to do any trades. Maybe D Murray of spurs and one draft pick (I don’t think spurs want to offer any more than 2 heavily protected first round picks)

I think we would be lucky to get Murray at this point. He is playing really well and he gets better and better every year. Also, he has a great contract. Perfect player to play next to Curry. If I'm the Spurs I wouldn't do that trade.

His FG% continues to drop. All he's doing is playing more minutes and improving his assist numbers. Still can't shoot.

He was also the only guy for around a decade that had some gravity as a main event opponent.

I too appreciate John Cena more now that he's gone. Undoubtedly he was a poor man's Hulk Hogan. A couple tiers down from Hogan/Austin/Rock GOAT tier.

But compared to the trash now he looks all-world. Pro rasslin continues to go downhill...

That's because the senile old man in charge forgot how to make stars. So he shoved Cena down our collective throats for over a decade.

He was great, but I wouldn’t even compare him to Albert Vanilla as a ring worker.

Honestly, I can't blame him. Cena was the only guy coming up in that era that was a reliable company man. Brock was high maintenance and quit after a couple years. Orton was an immature headcase. Batista was a bit injury prone and wasn't as professional as Cena.

Yeah, it's not just a talent question - Boston has Rob Williams and old Horford, they'd be trading for a log jam.
