Good deal for Knicks, only useful for Hawks if they needed an extra pick to make a deal.

Knicks gave a first round pick and will now need to give Reddish a big long term deal next year

They better hope he improves dramatically, fast

Who's offering him a big contract that NY would match?

People thought the same thing a few years ago with Chicago and LaVine and he was more proven although he was coming off an injury and only Sacramento offered him a contract at 20 mil a year that Chicago matched with no hesitation.

Poor kid, I feel for him. Could be generational with a healthy body. It's a shame.

And Philly gets blown out by the Wiz on their 3rd game in 4 nights. That's how it goes. Tired legs can't hit shots.

Wonder if Philly will bite the bullet and trade Simmons pre deadline. Kinda feel like Utah should be buyers tbh.

Simmons and Korkmaz for Conley, Ingles, 2022 FRP and protected 2024 FRP.

UTAH
Mitchell
O’Neale / Clarkson
Bogdanovic / Korkmaz
Simmons / Gay
Gobert / Whiteside / Azubuike

Ben runs the 1 on offense, the 3 or 4 on defense. Some fit issues with Rudy but they can also run lineups with Korkmaz, Clarkson and Bogdanovic/Mitchell to add shooting around them. Need another guard in the buyout market.

PHILADELPHIA

Conley / Maxey
Curry / Milton /Joe
Green / Thybulle
Harris / Ingles / Niang
Embiid / Drummond

Maxey doesn’t deserve to lose his starting spot, but Conley gives them the veteran they may need in the playoffs. Ingles another veteran playmaker and shooter, along with picks to be used to draft young talent or trade.

Just a left field thought.

6ers seem a little delusional about asking price for non-shooting ass-attitude Ben

wicked dunk. but the ball almost slipped off his hand. he's the worst dunker in terms of accuracy (I'm pretty sure if there is a stat for it). probably time to use both hands or lay it in more frequently.

Yeah, I like your Utah package better than Detroit, but that's as high as 6ers could hope for.

His value took a hit in the playoffs, then some more this off-szn. Morey gotta be more realistic

I just feel that Utah ain't it, the way they're presently constructed.

A swing on a guy like Ben could be what lifts them to that next level. Yeah, it may also sink them, but for that cost it'd be worth the punt IMO. Would be lol to see Donovan and Ben on the same team considering their RoY beef - but they'd actually compliment each other well. Having shooters like Bogdanovic/Clarkson/Korkmaz could atleast help in lineups where Rudy and Ben feature. The defense with Ben and Rudy would be sick though tbh.

Philly atleast gets a solid PG in Conley to mentor Maxey, a vet swingman and fiesty chivato in Ingles and 2 x FRP's to assist in building the roster. Vets that will help them now in the playoffs, as well as assets down the line.

Just do it already.

Morey/Sixers are crazy if this is true.

This smells more like those rumours where team X calls and floats an idea, team Y says no, then team X leaks “there were conversations”.

he's definitely try to milk as much as possible. hopefully it backfires and he ends up with a lousy deal.

Kyrie, Ben, Joe Ingles, Patty too many wack Aussies it's an automatic red flag imho

I dislike WB’s game as much as anyone, but that dunk was nasty.

Yeah, I think about the only time we claim Kyrie as one of ours is when we’re doing the whole “make the best team from your country” type things.
