Ben Simmons Trade Thread part V

[Stanford]

I've been apathetic about the trade-limbo most of the summer. The longer it goes on, the less I stress about it. I don't understand why people are peeing themselves.

I continue to be apathetic, by the way. I'll react when it happens.

[SixthStreet]

Still think the Kings are going to pony up Fox at the 11th hour. I'm going to be the last one on that hill.

Happy to stand on that hill with you.

So this is definitely happening in the next week.

Are you guys excited, nervous, relieved, frustrated?

Can’t wait, we are going to get some real insight into Moreys head and vision

Very much this.

I agree. Morey makes one last call to the Kings for Fox before he signs off on whatever the trade is.

[spikeslovechild]

I am still shocked we didn't sign Dennis.

It would have given us additional leverage

[mg]

Simmons and the Kings would be such a perfect fit. There would be no pressure at all for him. Those fans would be happy just to squeak into the playoffs. Sacramento only plays in Philly one time a year so he only needs to duck one game a year.

If Denver will do Murray for Simmons, I would do that. Murray is supposed to be back by New Year's I believe? And if not and he has to sit out all year, Jo can get that clean up surgery as well. So it's a win either way.

I don't see Denver doing that, but maybe they are really sold on Porter? Jokic, Gordon, Simmons, Barton, and Porter in a starting lineup is very reminiscent of Embiid, Horford, Harris, Richardson, and Simmons though.

That would be a pretty big gamble. Porter has not shown any shotcreation chops yet. He's strictly been an assisted scorer, up until this point.

Losing Murray leaves them in a huge shotcreation void. Their best creators left would be Rivers, Campazzo, and a rookie (Hyland). Not a great spot to be in if you fancy yourself a contender.

Jokic? He’s arguably the best creator in the whole league. He’s Dirk+ which means to say if you have Jokic you have a stud offensive team.

Who cares about his defense? He's a dribble-pass-shoot, explosive 6'4" 225 pound athletic freak that just averaged 19+ as a 19 year old.

Edwards would be the best perimeter talent we've had since Iverson. He's a true franchise player.

He’s totally unaware of what’s going on around him on both ends of the court he’s a chucker who only shot 31% from downtown. No thanks Joel would hate his low IQ game. He’s always going to be one of those guys that puts up big numbers on very **** teams.

If it's Denver I just hope Gordon isn't part of the return package. We need shot creators.

This is what we're doing? He's 19 lol. Like he won't develop and mature his game in the correct environment?

I have nba league pass I’ve seen him 20 times or so he would not fit his team BB IQ is so low it’s comical. No thanks.

Development in Edwards might be for naught. His biggest question mark was ethics and rightfully so.

I agree I’m not high on Edwards. But I don’t rate Mitchell, Towns, Booker highly for that matter (Same with Lavine he had a spike last year, need to see it again this year.) His 3ft-3p splits are awfully bad. Takes bad shots, horrible defense.....= not a big difference maker. Derozan even facilitates pretty well but he’s not good.

[Mik317]

i mean he's 19

and we are hoping Maxey becomes great with the caveat that....he's 19/20.

Edwards would be a lottery ticket basically. No one is expecting him to lead us to a chip right away regardless.

but again...no way he's on the board...so yeah
