I believe a 2017 and a 2018. What I pass on here is purely anecdotal. All the same, I would never buy an Audi. The rep on their electronics has been with us for a decade. We have an MB C300. I couldn’t imagine that as a primary vehicle in the Rockies. I agree with poster who suggested a Jeep Cherokee.

Considering porzingis was out most of this game I would say he isn't staying healthy hasn't stayed healthy since his rookie season

I agree but I'm one of those that doesnt like 3 star/superstar max contract type players on one team. Too much money tied into 3 guys and leaves you with crap the rest of the roster.

2 is all you need than fill out the rest with good, solid pieces.  But if Porzingis cant stay healthy then maybe they should look elsewhere for that sidekick to Luka.

The league has kind of gone away from the 3 star teams. The top teams in the playoffs have their dynamic duo this year. I don't mind if the league stays that way for awhile. Makes it a bit more balanced

Yeah I love that bulls deal that was mentioned the other day. Im not sure anyone can even make a better package. I dont remember if that was a legit rumor with legs or just fan speculation. I hope/wish its real. Any competent GM would do it in a heartbeat. Or a competent coach would be banging the table for the GM to do it. 

If you did that deal it makes it possible to then deal Richardson and horford to get someone like buddy hield or Barnes from the kings. You rather have hield than Barnes. But if you got hield and take on Corey joseph to make it work then you could come out with a lineup of potentially 

ball

hield

lavine

harris

embiid

bench: markkanen, thybulle, Joseph and MLE. 

Only thing I would have concerned about is markkanen should be starting and he likely isn’t happy coming off the bench and i believe he’s up for a contract soon.

I don't have an issue with the trash talk. It is what it is in basketball and I'm sure stuff like that is common. But don't parade your players out with "Equality" written on the back of their jerseys and not acknowledge the hypocrisy if it was the other way around. Luka would have been suspended and black-balled from the league. 

I'm sure Larry Bird was called 10x worse back when he played.  But it doesnt bother me what Harrell said.  Its trash talk and all good.  But if the roles were reversed it would be bad for Luka.

Whites may have so called "White Privilege" but that doesnt apply to free speech.

76ers have no bench. We knew that goong in.

 

I'm a Pacers fan and we just can't overcome a single injury. Everything needs to be perfect to win against good teams.

Any chance trading Simmons to the Suns for Devin Booker?  Pairing Booker and Embiid could be a nice combo.  Booker can shoot and score at will.

Agree.  LBJ was the one who started the joining forces thing in Miami with the big 3.  Then GS had to make it worse adding Durant.  Lebron tried to do it again almost adding Kawhi to the Lakers with Davis.

2 stars is plenty.

Yeah the suns are not trading Devin booker. I don’t get why people believe the suns after the run they just went on and the fact they have cap space to make a splash and assets are going to trade booker. That’s a pipe dream right now.

Once next season starts and the Suns are back to being the Suns again, then they might think about trading Booker.  Especially if he isnt happy and wants out.

They aren’t going to trade him at the moment. Especially when they are gonna try to make a splash this offseason. Maybe next year during the season or after.

I think you might play LaVine at PG in that case. Harris SF. Markkanen then starts at the 4.

If you intend on contending next year, you probably dont want the rookie PG starting anyway.

And you cant move Hield to the bench because thats the root of his issue with Sacramento.

Unless Harris plays the good soldier taking comfort in the security of his big money deal and takes the bench role in stride... but that sounds crazy.

Cleveland has legit rumored interest but their package sucks.

Theres a rumored Chicago deal that is spectacular. LaVine, Markkanen, 4th pick, and Coby White for Simmons. If theres any truth to that I hope we have already agreed to it.

Possibly go Lavine at Pg. i still think markkanen or harris is best suited at the 4. I think you might consider trading harris for role and bench players if you believe markkanen can be better long term as the 4. Maybe a better guy slotted for the small forward position.

Brandon Ingram

Sixers have been a disaster for years. Even the last time they went to the finals with Iverson they made a stupid trade (IMO) with Ratliff for Mutombo.

Ratliff was an undersized center who couldn't have guarded Shaq in the finals but he was athletic and could have ran Shaq  up and down the court all night.

What did they do? They traded for an over the hill, slow Mutombo who couldn't guard Shaq either but also couldn't run enough to tire Shaq out.

Hell we can go back to the Wilt trade for Darrell Imhoff. DARRELL FREAKING IMHOFF.

I gave up on them years ago.

I’d love to get Ingram. He really is a perfect fit for what we need. Frankly i think he’s going to be in a sign and trade somewhere. I would try to package harris and thybulle if possible and take a bad contract back.

Seems like alot for Simmons.  If true I'd take the deal in a heartbeat if I'm the 76ers.

They’ve had a ton of bad trades. Moses, Barkley and iguodala of the late ones. Even iverson wasn’t great. The last good trade they may have made was getting Moses besides hinkie collecting draft picks

Toyota 4Runners are spectacular SUV's as well.  Last forever and drive in any climate.

Oh Lord.  And JJAW is beating Maddox 1 on 1 in red zone  today.  

I wouldn’t worry about that as much.  Maddox is a smaller CB who is going to struggle against a big WR in the red zone.  That’s on Schwartz (of course, this is practice and he probably wants him to get that experience) to put guys like Douglas, Parks, Slay, Mills on 6’2” possession WRs in goal line situations.

And JJAWs problem is moving like a professional athlete.  He was always a box out and catch in traffic WR.  That he can catch a pass at the goal line over a 5’7” cb who was horrible last year isn’t enough to change any opinions.

I actually recently bought one. Absolutely love it. I suggest going up to the limit for the price you are paying if you go srs pre

Who makes these trades up? I’d do that if I were Philly.

Better question is would you do Lavine for Simmons straight up?

I wouldn't, what Simmons offers defensively is more then anything Lavine has to offer on offense. would need definitely need more
