Consistent aggression, 70% FTs

also,

With regards to the Mannix quote, I think it pertains to folks that think Simmons is worthless and he could only bring back like a Kemba/Wall contract, or some random pieces. He is definitely worth more than that, but he's not getting you a young budding star like a SGA or Fox, or an established star. He's most likely getting you other 3rd option/fringe all-star types and maybe a pick of some sort, like the players mentioned in posts above.

Unless Ben develops any kind of jumper in the next 3 months which I don’t think many would bet on, don’t see how his trade value changes

If he did develop a jump shot at that point wouldn’t you just keep him

 

[N41D]

Anyone that believes Ben Simmons' "shooting thing" can be figured out at this point is hoping on a prayer.

There's no reason or indication at any level to believe he's going to figure that out.

Yea. Trading -name redacted- is the spicier move because optics but the logical move is selling high on Tobias. BUT the kangaroo still remains in the room with the shooting and spacing

if you trade Tobias but -name redacted- remains the same, Sixers gonna be in the same spot next year. You basically have to have 100% conclusive results that -name redacted- gonna be a better shooter but we don’t have time (word to antidope )

I’m leaning towards Brogdon/Lamb at this point and keeping Tobias but Tobias for Brogdon/Lamb also works

Why would the Pacers want Tobias for Brogdon/Lamb?

Land of black holes with him/Caris/Warren

I said earlier I’m throwing out ******** but the point still remains: gotta pick between Tobias and -name redacted-

keep the consistent 20/8/3 on 50/39/85 or gamble on -name redacted- finally deciding to improve since HS

If the best you can get for Ben Simmons is the tier of Buddy Hield, D'Angelo Russell and CJ McCollum, do you just hold onto him?

If Morey wasn’t the GM you could entertain that scenario, but Ben is 100% gone by the trade deadline, if not by opening night.

Trae-Bogey-Huerter is one of the worst defensive perimeter trios you’ll ever see in round 2 and Philly couldn’t score You know Morey was pulling his hair out.

Morey is always looking to improve, but I feel like he's going to want to win the PR if he deals Simmons too. But IDK, maybe he'll "settle" for one of these guards.

What does Vegas know about the Warriors that we don't?

Probably guessing they can flip picks and Wiggins for another star.

 

[af1 1982]

Surprised the Celtics aren’t favored since their addition of perennial forward Al Horford.

 

[Mister Meaner]

IQ &/or Obi Toppin + Kevin Knox & FIBA Frank NT + all the picks you want to get SGA. If he wants to leave, they could do worse than that.

 

[HOU$TON]

I really just want SGA, need Kemba to match salary

Another bull**** trade is -name redacted- for Walls Fargo and #2. Wonder if HOU$TON takes that trade

Real talk tho, Horford was good in Boston though, not enough to put them over, but good enough.

Lotta boogersugar in Vegas is the only explanation I can think of.

 

[ballinsam23]

I expect the Warriors to make a move for sure. The expectations need to be lowered though. Klay hasn’t played in 2 years.

Agree.

Seems like a lot of people just assume he’ll be the same Klay he was pre-injuries when comes and, while I hope that’s what happens, I’m personally doubtful he’ll be the same.

His shooting will be there, but I think there will be a drop-off in his ability to move without the ball and to defend at an elite level.

Kelsey Plum is having a career year after tearing her Achilles. Breanna Stewart about to win MVP after hers. KD didn’t miss a beat

Maybe medicine got better.

 

[noblekane]

A vocal veteran leader like a CP, Lebron, Kobe would never allow their team to even be in this situation internationally. Exhibition or not that’s an embarrassment.

I want to see what happens when they play an actual veteran international team thats suppose to medal and KD is having an off night.

bruh stop including cp3 in that group.

mans lucked out with all these injuries this year and all a sudden he a winner.

we forgetting all them times he choked and couldnt get past the semi finals?

ramon sessions with a jumpshot

 

[pmatic]

Even assuming Klay returns to like 85% Klay we all know by the 2022 playoffs, the roster is still lacking.

Ppl really think they going to go from a 9 seed to contender and I just don't get it.

 

[noblekane]

can the warriors realistically get love and sexton in a trade?

Phoenix just did it.

eye am not saying they’re going to win the west but I do think the west is wide open.
