“Bad” contracts get moved every year, somebody’s run running 5 could get hurt. You run with all 3 to start the year, bringing big O off the bench. Hawks stay healthy & tread .500 he’ll have a market.
I certainly didn’t look at the Hawks when healthylast year and think they needed more offense.

I'm pretty sure The only ones I've moved have been ones that are posts about Ben Simmons as they relate to proposed trades or hypothetical trade scenarios.

I think Lavine and 4 is roughly the ballpark for Simmons.
You ain't building **** around Lavine and being competitive.

I rather fire management and coaching than let them have any more input on personnel if I were the Sixers.

LaVine is a 2nd option at best and a tier below Simmons. Simmons can be a legit franchise player.
I do think Ben should try to improve his playmaking abilities. He's an excellent passer, but he does not orchestrate an offence.

Ideally, it would be ownership first. Coaching second, management third. But Ownership and management are much harder battles to fight.

I think so solely based on how he played without Embiid.

what decent teams did Ben Simmons lead teams beat? I’m not building around a guy with 3 foot range that isn’t an elite 1 on 1 player. And he won’t shoot. And he’s good for giving you 8/8/8

Looks like my big O prophecy will come to fruitionDeni or probably Haliburton be in play also. Great spot to be in.
Yea when I look at our squad I think guard is the next area we need an injection of talent in. I like Hueter but if we really trying to transition to a team that can at least contend around the bottom seeds again I don’t see us doing that with him as starting guard. Think he’s a very good role player at best as of right now
haliburton might be the move.

I think Killian Hayes is my favorite prospect in the draft.
But maybe it's because he reminds me of D'Lo.

How many games did Lavine-Wiggins-KAT play together because that’s what I’m envisioning a DLo-Edwards-KAT trio would play like.

It’s a bit dated to look at players this way, but my franchise player can’t average 10 a game in a semi finals and give me multiple single digit games
Simmons, at this point is a cap Sheet killer. Stay away

And Haliburton would be starting in this scenario?

Cap sheet killer seems like a MASSIVE stretch.

I wouldn’t expect it immediately. If we do draft him I’d still start Huerter right now cause he would need time. Just speculating on if he can become that guy if we take him, could be worth the chance.

If him and Lavine are max-level guys - and unfortunately, they probably are - I'd rather pay Simmons than Lavine.
But wouldn't pound the table and argue all day about it either way.

Na. Their shots come from the same spots.

BI is better than Simmons and that kills some people. Hard truth.

Simmons has a game in less than 2 hours, so that should be in the playoff thread.
RIGHT,

It’s not apples to apples but Simmons is making almost $100 Ms more than Zach.
I know who I would like pay

Definitely not Zach the loser.
