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

Apparently Patrick Williams could come back soon? That would be amazing to see Chicago get everyone back after all of their terrible luck

Playoffs are going to be wild if Kyrie is still sitting out home games. Not to mention Bent having to play in front of Philly fans on the road where he notoriously struggles.

 

[HOU$TON]

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

Embiid will do to them what Giannis did to them last year

 

[storm2006]

The past 48 hours have convinced me that a NBA players “Trade value” is another thing that’s just becoming completely arbitrary. After these CJ, Hali, Sabonis and maybe soon to be Harden/Benjamin deals there is no real way to gauge it and you’re probably better off waiting than rushing a trade because it will likely be an overpay.

 

[P C H]

No one better save the lakers. Make them have to work with that 47M guy next year too

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

Don't think Kyrie would have any problem with his fellow countryman, KD though we'll see

Apparently the Vax mandate might be changed as soon as today? Anyone else seeing this

 

[B Sox]

Potential Nets/Sixers playoff games in Philly would be a sight to see

Case in point. Stuff like this (grudges) is why trade value is hard to gauge potential moves. We see it with the Lakers (basketball reason, Kawhi/Pop, this year), saw it with Houston/Philly last year, etc

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?

They wanted Thybulle too

 

[rolaholic]

do people still love Sean Marks

They aren’t victims, they are volunteers. It’s kind of messed up how AD and Bron was isolating him. They signed off on the trade.

I do recall someone posting something about that the other day now that you mention it. Sounds like it could be lifted by the end of the week.

This is sick

Bulls have yet to beat Philly this year

Isn’t the vaccine mandate the one that’s important though? Kyrie never had a problem with masks

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Even lakers fans know that the bubble chip was phony

their real feelings gonna come out about it as soon as he dips next year

 

[ill steelo]

It’d be tough for me to part with Ben + 2 of Seth/Maxey/Thybulle for a Harden on the wrong side of 30 rapidly deteriorating physically. He’s not iron man anymore, he’s not 30 ppg anymore.

They can have any or even all 3 of Kork/Shake/Danny Green, beyond that I can’t.

Maxey and Maltese off the table anyway.

Which you prefer

Honestly... I'm a lil skeptical of Harden beyond next season...

Thybulle might just had to have been the sacrifice

That's a non starter, hang up the phone scenario

I think “arbitrary” is a bit strong, but it’s certainly situation dependent. Calculations are different for a tanking team, a team desperate just to make the playoffs like Sac and a team that has short-term championship aspirations.

Culture?

josh hart rocking BI's jersey too
thats a brotherhood

 

[Coupé It]

It’s crazy how people act like Brooklyn wasn’t 1/4 a kangaroo foot away from beating the Bucks.

Without Kyrie and a hamstrung Harden.

Insane to me.
