The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[earldagoat]

To pull a Bynum Simmons would actually have to know how to shoot the ball.

 

[amitt5504]

Um, haven't they already been doing this under all the various jersey labels ("Earned", "City", etc.)?

Kinda. Teams have a classic which is basically a throwback. I’m seeing this as a throwback but changed a little

Money is something that is only as valuable as we consider it. Not absolute therefore fake.

Listen to this man Ben please

That whole 8 mil or whatever aint real as your happiness young man. Hold Firm

[rolaholic]

Yea I dunno how him being a part time player is gonna work out in that locker room regardless of how good he is

 

[IATT]

Simmons caved in

what you wanted him to do?

 

[IATT]

Ben simmons running the Kobe/Aaron Rodgers playbook

[datznasty]

These Benjamin and Myrie fiascos have made for a comical offseason but I’m ready for the season to start.

We out here

Get the *** to try. By him trying, we can get better trade packages lol

**** em

Unless yo starts hittin multiple 3’s a game his trade value is what it is at this point , nothing changing except he gon be sulking round the team headquarters

Once again Ben been wildin but this could all be over if the team just pulls the trigger and get him outta there, it’s not that complicated…The Sixers aren’t going to “win” a Simmons trade

 

[storm2006]

I talked to Sam Hinkie last week. He didn’t die for this. I am biased but I think he finds a deal that works.

 

[earldagoat]

Part of me wonders what Kobe would be telling Kyrie right now given how close those two were.

Kevin Durant is the ONLY reason he hasn't been moved. They seem willing to tolerate his shenanigans.

The win in this case is basically having functional pieces to use in the playoffs. Sure BroBama is definitely useful but if waiting another month for a Dame, SGA, Zachary then do it.

 

[WASHED KING]

Look it's a LOT of people in this country that hate their job. Young Socialite isn't special.

 

[pums]

Nike has been terrible with the naming of the jerseys they mixed it up too much.

Really home, away, retro, alternate is all you really need to name it

None of those players are getting traded for Ben you know that, gotta aim lower

 

[don ramon]

cavs have a decent growing squad.

also why does anthony davis always end up on the floor? bad habit? carelessness? whats up with dude

That’s boring although they did it right with the WNBA

Heroine, Explorer and Rebel so the jersey set spells out HER

That makes sense. Sixers management probably feels like the don't know what the "real" market is yet for Benji because there's so many guys that teams can't offer yet. I'm not confident they're going to get a lot more offers they like even in December, but I see the logic in waiting until then.

I don’t mind bringing back a certain PG but VARNELL HILL got other ideas lol

More like Mbappe. These light skinned ******

You must mean Zach Collins, Dame??????? OKC is already at their Crocodile Hunter PG limit with Giddy.

 

[datznasty]

Trading Ben Simmons to OKC would be hilarious. Fam would refuse to step off the plane. Then to go from his pouting, to getting ignored by Rich Paul who is somewhere with Adele, to have Presti greet you at OKC airport which is in the worst part of town (so homelessy, and days inn living prostituty) and tell you he has something exciting planned to introduce you to the city, which is 1000% going to take you to the Bombing memorial. Assuming he was traded for SGA, the only players of some significance we have would be if he would be excited to see Giddey because of the Aussie connection or Lu Dort who is on a 1M contract. I don't know if the Thunder keep someone on staff (they should) to help players get integrated to the city and know where to hang out, eat, live, etc. but they probably don't so if he shows up after 8pm he won't know where is open to go eat so he'll probably end up at an iHOP or Denny's too or a Subway in the gas stations
