THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[ill steelo]

Steph, Klay and Ben would be ridiculous especially if Dray is moved

Kind of overlooking what Draymond does defensively. Ben doesn’t have a history of doing the dirty work in the paint. Not saying he’s incapable, but Draymond is a DPOY.

I think they end up being a worse team if Ben can’t fill that void.

Jamal Murray is trash AF. What is he even good at?

Ben has a case for DPOY this year too. But I see what you’re saying

Ben pushing the break instead of Dray is scary as hell tho

On the other hand, Horford for Dlo might help both teams pretty well.

No one is trading for Horford. He's going to be one of the worst contracts in the league.

 

[the 718 truth]

Spectacular performance
Of course it was against the Knicks

 

[B Sox]

Don't see why Ben and Draymond couldn't coexist if Underdog and Klay are on the court alongside them.

You really want Ben and Draymond on the same team?

Until the amnesty comes back on the next cba lol

Both are elite defenders and good playmakers. Underdog and Klay provide incredible spacing for them to operate. Ben would have a ton of opportunities to play as the roll man, which he doesn't get to do nearly enough now.

Ben would be Iguodala 2.0 (minus the three point shoot) for the team.

 

[everysingletime]

I can imagine Ben's man leaving Ben to double Steph all game

Guess that would make for an easy bucket for Ben then.

exactly

even if ben did shoot a few jumpers per game and made a few of them per game, yall really think defenders would stick em as if he was KD ? no, they would still continue to sagg off now like they do with westbrook or greak freek

sure actually attempting shots would open the defense up alil but if he aint constantly knocking them down how does that change or help

 

[sohi 23]

Feel like you’d have to trade Dray if the Warriors got Simmons.

 

[vtotheinay]

Imagine if the Warriors got Simmons and they convinced him to start shooting jumpers with his correct hand

Which one looks more natural?

 

[xxpizzo]

exactly what hes doing now by getting to the paint with ease and scoring at a decent %,

I think he would mostly be playing in the post in the halfcourt if he were on the Warriors, so his defender sagging off him wouldn't be an issue. Him running fast breaks flanked by the 2 best shooters in the league would be completely unstoppable.

 

[Moheezy]

Doubt the Dubs want to pay Horford $27M at age 36-37

Let a man dream.

This would be the true revenge tour if anything

kinda want it to happen for the lolz

true considering GS would put him at the 4 or 5 so being in the post would work wonders for him, would be a filthy sight to watch but god i hope it never happens

philly just didnt construct the right team around him knowing his weakness or shyness to shoot the ball over past years.. had some shooters make it work with him and we all seen the great benefits that can come from it but we went backwards this year regarding that

when philly had belli, illysova and jj it was awesome to watch (Not the defense) but they lack that shooting in the biggest way rightnow from the perimeter.. i would seriously hate it if sixers gave up on simmons cause of not shooting a "jumper"

i know it prolly seems as if im coming off bias but it is i wont deny i love ben simmons and what he brings to a team even lacking a jumper

I think he brings a lot to the table. He just needs to be built around more so than a lot of other players where you can just plug and play. I think you can knock him for that, but if you do build the right situation for him, he can be a star.

Said it several times over the summer, but last year's team makes WAY more sense for Ben than this one does.
