We deserve a Sixers Nets playoff matchup if this goes through.

Honestly, do Philly fans want an aging Harden?

Do they want to see Embiid get frustrated after Harden does his dribble dribble dribble routine and dish it with 4 seconds on the clock?

Yes. We need someone who can dribble

I mean he's literally exactly what they need

 

[tay1]

Yes. We need someone who can dribble

The pick and roll will be great to see but idk. I think Harden will have more to prove than when he came to Brooklyn. We'll see.

Indy was also missing its best playmaker and player in brogdon for most of the season

I guess I’m just saying that if fox is supposed to be a franchise point guard, which I’ve thought him to be coming into this year, and sabonis is a consistent all star candidate— that should be a nice foundation

Getting into the playoffs is the goal of some of these teams. They add another piece who knows what they could be

They still could trade barnes and or Holmes for something

So paying sabonis his market worth shouldn’t be such a huge deal. He’ll be entering his prime too

I like Halliburton almost as much as b sox so it’s not an easy pill to swallow shipping him off. I also think that a lot of times with the outrage in trades it tends to be more even in the end than we thought

They had Brogdon, Caris Levert, & McConnell all active and were still playing sub .500 ball through the first 25-30 games.

They finished last year below .500 and were eliminated from contention by a bad Washington team. 0-8 in the playoffs the 2 years before that.

He doesn’t move the needle like that…. And he’ll enter unrestricted free agency FIVE years earlier than Haliburton

It’s a short-sighted move for marginal improvement at best, which makes sense if you’re a fringe contender like Philly.

It’s nonsensical if you’re a fringe playoff team.

But again, the outrage was excessive. They’ll be competitive & fun to watch offensively. It’s just a short-sighted move, which we see from somebody every year.

Those rough possessions closing out last night's game is exactly why they need someone like Harden. He can at least dribble and get the ball to others in advantageous situations.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That Haliburton/Buddy package > Harden (?)-- even if Philly is looking for the best "win now" package (?)

I'd have to imagine that was available for Ben Simmons too?

 

[Coupé It]

Sixers get a little bit better with Harden.

But you create a beast in Brooklyn - Your division rivals.

Sixers fans are cool with that??

Should be a no brainer for Philly, but would Sacramento truly want Simmons over Sabonis? Kinda doubt it.

I just don't know how anyone could really trust Ben.

 

[WASHED KING]

Ben about to be free?

This Nets talk probably explains Ben finally getting vaxxed last week

idk what to think of what teams think of these guys anymore like you said

at first blush even with the flack that Simmons gets I feel like he'd be a lil higher valued than Sabonis based off his contract and the "name"

 

[getback]

Do casual fans want 75 free throw attempts per game between Jim and Joel?

 

[earldagoat]

Do you all see KD and Kyrie getting along with Bent Salmons?

 

[coldcity]

Sure swap your troubles Philly & nj … just let the flood gates open so the bulls can snag some sz

 

[Coupé It]

You keep running around here like this is some type of joke. Like the Brooklyn Nets actually need Ben Simmons to shoot the basketball - they don’t.

He’ll focus on defense, get rebounds, drive to the rim, and most importantly find KD and Kyrie. They’re a better team with Ben.

If you don’t see that, if it’s that much of a joke - you need help.

Bucks gotta be paying portis under the table. That man has been great this season
