well, there was Maxey with a mediocre 18 on another bad shooting night 8-24, and then, bascially no one else on the entire team did anything at all.

Thats the other negative angle. Embiid decided last night was his game 7 finals game. The team needed just about all of his 59 to win it. Hes not going to do that every night.

How about the triple single from Tucker? 30 minutes. 0 points. 1 rebound. 1 assist. 1 steal.

 

Would’ve been nice to get markkanen back when he wanted out of Chicago.

yeah. Bogdanovic from Detroit would be a bit of an upgrade from Harris. Doesnt help with the athleticism issue, but he is consistent, which Tobi isnt. Both with his scoring, 3 point shot, and also rebounding.

I see Detroit as a young team with Ivy and Cunningham, and I wonder if they could have any interest in a second go round with Harris as their vet on the team. 

Guys who I would be interested in trying to package in there would be, Burks, Noel, and Bey. Even Knox. Hes a reclamation project but seems to have had an epiphany and maybe can still develop. 

Detroit is fairly easy to trade with because I think they have cap space so salary doesnt have to match.

Just dont know if theyll have any interest at all...

They gave Bogdanvic the extension to be their vet. I doubt they give up Bey and Knox is worth a 2nd tops.

I think utah would unload some guys cause ainge wants to tank. Them winning 10 games already wasn’t in his plans. So that’s another team I’d look at

Yeah Knox isnt worth much. He is literally a throw in lottery ticket.

 Bey a pipedream in that scenario. 

Noel, and Burks would be really nice in the deal. But neither help solve our wing situation.

 

One thing to consider, which we wont know, is if a young building team like Detroit has any interest in committing to mid-tier guys like Bogdanovic, and Bey long term.  Both are near the end of their contracts according to the ESPN trade madine. Looks like Bodganovic is expiring, and Bey only has next year left, so its extension time, really for both of them. Or, maybe Detroit would rather not. 

In that case Harris replaces the vet leadership role for next year, and then is a massive expiring. A team like detorit should actually find his contract attractive.

damn trade machine gave me bum info

Big free agent acquisition of really paying off big.  

I watched the game. That was a ridiculous performance by Embiid

 Ben...

The Brooklyn Nets have grown increasingly frustrated as an organization over Ben Simmons' availability to play in game, and his level of play when he does play. Some within the Nets organization have questioned Simmons' passion for the game.

Simmons missed the entirety of the 2021-22 season, while recovering from a back injury, as well as mental health challenges that prevented him from taking the court. This continued even after Simmons was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Nets.

Brooklyn has begun bringing Simmons off the bench, in a pseudo-backup center role. This change in role came after Simmons missed nearly a week after having fluid drained from his left knee.

Simmons said he understands the frustrations with him missing time, but that no one should question his commitment.

"You’re obviously not gonna be happy when anybody’s out,” Simmons said. "But for me, I’ve been dealing with the knee since the start of the season. It’s been swollen. I had PRP. I had blood drained a couple times. So, it’s not a made-up thing, you know? It’s a real thing.

"I get (the skepticism), but I think the one thing with me is that I’m a competitor. I want to win and play. So, I’m gonna do what I can to get out there.”

 

Read thru the tidbits on Reddit and sounds like Markieff Morris got into him. 

🐷

I feel confident that the Nets will find Ben as open and accepting of constructive criticism as we did, and it's going to be glorious to watch.

Bucks are underdogs at +1.5

Brook Lopez is shooting 38.9% from 3 on 6.4 attempts which is absurd, I think he will pull Embiid out to the line and Giannis cooks 

 

shams wins.

On or around December 15th when Harris becomes tradable, Im expecting Eric Gordon will become a 6er.
