Bill Simmons still thinks Haliburton and Heidl can happy. 

No other deals besides big name guys make sense.  This would be the perfect deal for both teams.  Kings already have 2 other great guards who can play offense but need defense.  We get a young stud on a rookie deal with a shooter.

The one @HazletonEagle has been clamouring for since the start of this mess lol. 

Where is the rest of the trade? Horton Tucker plays for the Lakers. 

Ben Simmons is probably going to end up being the most hated athlete in Philly history.  
 

Things got rough with Lindros for a bit, but it was largely patched up and never that bad.  TO was fun to hate, but Mcnabb was a bit of a villain in that standoff too…and TO was more crazy than anything else.  JD Drew is worth mentioning, but that’s more of a funny story than anything else.  Wentz just doesn’t register at that level.

I think Simmons has the field lapped.

Very similar to Scott Rolen 

The Lindros family basically accused the Flyers of trying to kill him due to medical negligence. He had to have emergency surgery after the Flyers docs allegedly missed him having a collapsed lung and told Clarkie he should fly back to Philly for treatment on his ribs after a game. 

Cant’t believe this clown is still a sixer. Morey needs to stop holding out for some lopsided deal that isn’t going to happen. Just send him to the highest bidder and be done. 

Morey doesnt seem like the type to just take the L

patience, grasshoppers

Well Morey better get off his ass as the 8.9mm Horford exemption expires today........

I'm not optimistic they are going to do anything with it.  I expect they'll let it expire.  I don't like it but I haven't seen anything to suggest a sense of urgency to use it.

He's making the bet that the deals currently on the table aren't going anywhere, so it's a free option to see if Lillard shakes loose. Ben is doing everything he can to sabotage his value and force Morey's hand into taking a deal sooner rather than later. 

We'll see who ends up being right, but I'm guessing Morey isn't going to let Ben and Rich Paul force his hand. It is either intelligent or arrogant. 

[Stein] League sources say that Cleveland continues to keep its hat in the ring to try to pry Ben Simmons from the Sixers.

 

The Committee liked the Cavaliers' recent acquisition of Lauri Markkanen, even after the Cavs drafted Evan Mobley and re-signed Jarrett Allen, because they added Markkanen on a team-friendly contract that will be easy to trade if needed. This is no small thing when league sources say that Cleveland continues to keep its hat in the ring to try to pry Ben Simmons from the Sixers. Making a deal just to add a theoretical trade asset didn't exactly work with the acquisition of Andre Drummond, since Cleveland was unable to find a subsequent deal to move Drummond on, but its options on Markkanen — keep and develop him or move him later — figure to be more favorable. If only that were the case when it comes to the Cavaliers' Kevin Love conundrum … or the Darius Garland/Collin Sexton backcourt overload.

Not mutually exclusive

Not at all. 

Better analogy -- Morey is calling Simmons' bluff. Let's see if it was smart when the cards are flipped.

Summons is far too weak mentally to deal with the fans venom if he is still here

i think he is terrified of that

100% agreed.  I said this a couple weeks ago.  He will use it as a "tough guy" act but we really know how much of a bish he is.  Never seen a grown man with his size and ability turtle the way he does.

I cant believe nobody is complaining that Adam Sandler is holding up potential Simmons deals by starring Maxey and Thybulle in his movie. Seems like the type of idea that would be getting screamed about on philly sports radio.

That offer better be at least 3 1st's and maybe a swap or 2.
