Simmons Trade Thread - The Ocho

[DCasey91]

Still reckon it’s Ben for Ingram. Pels get another pick or two and the Wolves can decide whether to pay up or not. Zion unfortunately looks done way before I even thought it would come.

Go full tank and enter the Chet/Jabari sweepstakes with Ben that’s actually a better compensation then Ingram and that’s it.

Seems good for both parties.

Hmm.. why not just sitout Ingram then. Then have Jabari, Ingram and Zion next year.

Done, as in Zion isn’t going to have an NBA career. Ben might fall into the same boat sooner rather than later but for recycling the start position looks better imo. Both probably have ethic issues no doubt as evidence suggests. At least Ben isn’t injured.

That way you can move Ben again for assets to a third party and get double your money. The domino effect could be good if they get a Wolves pick, our pick and obviously their own.

Woohoo, we have hit the century mark on Ocho, Simmons is still here/not here and this crazy and unpredictable season with all of the players unavailable and other craziness in the league makes it feel more and more like a Simmons summer trade is slipping strongly into the realm of possibility.

kobblehead remains the oddest poster ever on this website

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!

All signs point to a boomer that that couldn't resist the sweet taste of lead paint chips as a child. But I'm not one to judge; to each, their own!

37 yo Bron is still way better than Joel

I like Embiid but let’s get serious here

Have you seen LeBron play recently?

It won’t happen but the Lakers should trade AD & WB for pieces that fit around Bron & assets

They’re a 1st round exit unless major changes are made

IF Simmons is one of those assets then James is still LeBron and Lakers will go to WCF minimum

Way better than Joel? No he isn't, he can't even lead the Lakers to a normal playoff seed with a stacked team. Joel is a defensive anchor, Lebron barely plays defense anymore.

It’s not 2011

The 2021 Lakers are a bunch of names and most of them aren’t very good anymore

What do you guys think about getting Giddey in exchange for Simmons?

He's only going to get better and he fits the Philly team perfectly right now by adding size and playmaking at the wing position:
Curry, Green, Giddey, Harris, Embiid -- Maxey, THybulle, Korkmaz, Niang, Drummond

He's actually already a decent playmaker with a high IQ. he's also a good trade piece for a rebuilding team if Philly finds another player they are keen on.

I'd be okay with that, but I can't see Presti moving him, as he kind of reached for him and he fits the OKC timeline. I can see SGA being much more gettable at this point.

I could see OKC tanking this season for Balmero or Chet to add to SGA, Dort, Simmons, Poku. That makes them a team on the rise in 22-23. And still they are loaded with picks for the following seasons to improve the teams depth.

Before the season started, the media had them as favorites in the West, and either way Lebrons just stat padding and not playing defense, he is not better than Embiid anymore

[Ballerhogger]

Covid has made players less aviable I don’t see trade happening until the off season.

You obviously don’t watch them as that’s a lazy narrative

Bron is actually trying but the team is bad

AD is the one that has fallen off noticeably

They return in 10 days. Covid won't be a problem.

No way, Giddey can't shoot

he's a rookie, his form looks fine and he's improving. First 14 games has he had a TS% of like 37%, last 14 games he's at 47%.

Nah, we need ball handlers that look to score and can light it up from deep. And also play off the ball.

We've had a decade of ball handlers that can't score or play off the ball. Those players suck. Do not want Giddey. He'd just be more of the same.

I'd be far more interested in Lu Dort.
