Like Kispert out of Gonzaga as a late 1st round pick if the Sixers have one this year. It's just weird not having to crowd noise and seeing the fans.

Sure seems around the time Morey told him to pack his bags he is going to Houston only to have the owner reject the trade. But keep trying to pop in the thread and act like you know basketball once a week, it's cute. And no I don't believe Simmons will score the necessary 25 points a game to beat the Nets in a 7 game series. I'm saying it. They will regret not trading him while his value is up. He will wilt in the playoffs like always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid 30 ppg, Tobias 20, Simmons 15.7 One is not like the other and if stays that way I don't see how they beat the Nets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right4thePicking Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 If we're serious about lowry we should add a 1rst and a couple of 2nds to kork and filler and get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, out of the 3 Ben probably guards Durant and if he is getting locked down ( won't happen) Harden can easily just put up an extra 10- 15 to make up for it. Remember Harden is playing facilitator right now and still averaging 25 a game he averaged 35 last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To stay the way it is and take on the nets is the scenario that voids Bens defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly honest even if Simmons score 25 points game in that series I don’t think the Sixers could beat the nets. The Nets are going to add a couple players in the buyout market. So when you put Joe Harris along with let’s say two quality players they get in the buyout market then it’s likely going to be better than Seth Curry, Danny Green and Shake Milton. The Sixers could add guys but I think Harris is better than any of our three or potential trades they actually make unless it’s Lavine or Lowry. So even adding guys they aren’t likely better as a whole than Harris and two potential buyout pickups the nets will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a lot of other teams interested in him who could offer more. You can't count Lowry until he is wearing a uniform. KD can get his shot over anyone, including LeBron and Simmons. Irving might be on the most skilled basketball players I have seen with the ball in his hands. Harden with his 6'10" wingspan is able to get to the bucket at will and now shown the ability to facilitate like we haven't seen before. These three dudes are first ballot Hall of Famers and probably Top 50-75 players of all time. Simmons HAS to score 25 a night. I mean Joe Harris is a better fourth option than Green or Curry.

Morey can really only do so much with this roster and trading away Bridges for a pencil absolutely killed them. But they have Fed up trades over the last few years and only ended up with Tobias Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario which doesn't account for any other potential additions like Quinn Cook, or Glenn Robinson, or poyential buyout guys like Arizona, Ellington... or other cheap trades like bjelica. In other words, there's no reason to make believe the Lowry trade would be the only move we can make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can also be honest does Cook and Robinson want to go to a place he can win a ring or get minutes to get his next contract. Remember Wayne Ellington signed with the Pistons instead of Philly to get minutes. Also, if I am a buyout I want to play with the Nets. They have no real depth at certain positions and can play with those guys. Next month is going to be really interesting. I think the Nets are the favorites at this moment and Sixers need to do something outside of the box to make it a series. It starts with forcing Simmons to be aggressive every second he is on the court without Joel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
