Hmmm..... This could actually makes sense for both teams 

 

I was actually looking through the league last night looking for some more trade options and Brunson was a guy I focused on. But I couldnt make anything work in a Ben trade until the december deadline for some other contracts to become eligible to move.

He doesn't fit with Luka and it doesn't look like they're going to extend him

I was looking for ben trades but if it's realistic to do it for Shake, that's a no brainer.

I don't think it gets it done.  Just wanted to show that it would work, cap-wise. 

I think they might need to throw in a protected 1st

"I think the biggest thing with this team is we’re having fun playing alongside each other,” Niang finished. "I think that’s the biggest thing. The ball doesn’t stick. The ball is flying around, everybody’s sharing the wealth, and everybody’s genuinely happy. You look at the box score and it’s all spread out. Everybody’s able to do multiple things.”

More evidence of the team enjoying playing together this year.

Feels a lot like a weight has been lifted for the team. They can now just play freely and it shows. 

Embiid used to think Niang sucked

 

Just watched the Kings, something just seems off with Fox and the other guys and a deal could be made straight for Fox for Simmons.

Or try to get thr 2nd deal and now you got another big who isnt totally lost in Bagley. This gives Joel even more depth and more time off. Deals happens on Dec 3rd when Kork can be traded.

Niang was guarding Grant and even though he shot a good %, Niang was making him work for every bucket.

Reminds me of a bit of young PJ Tucker. 

This is what I think a 3 and D player is. Where Bridges has surpassed that title and can do a lot more now. So sad 

 

Can they keep Bagley and we keep Kork and just do Ben for Hield + Haliburton.  Offer court side seats for Haliburton's fiancee to sweeten the deal.

Right.  Giving up the best player in that deal in Kork and a first?  Dumb dumb dumb.

So he is still a good player now and has value?

People need to make up their minds if Ben has value or not and stick to that. This flip flopping all depends on what Woj tweeted the day before.

He is calling Kork the best player in the deal.  Not Ben.

I'm getting two non ball dominate players who are 40% 3 point shooters, a shot creator as well in Haliburton, and not getting older as a team. I see that as a win. 

Kings need a taller guard and not sure deal would get done unless adding someone Ala adding Kork

Kork is shooting 42% from 3 on 5.2 attempts and Buddy is shooting 41.7% on 10.7 attempts.  Buddy is a different lvl shooter and no one notices because he plays for the Kings. 

It was a joke.

it's dominant.

 

Embiid waving at the crowd after hitting that three was pretty funny

And I can't be the only one that saw that rack at the top right of the screen after Korkmaz hit that ridiculous 3

They are much deeper than they have been that's for sure. I'm not getting too excited early though, but it seems we can again be a regular season powerhouse this year at the very least. 

I'm kind of wondering if Danny Green coming back hurts us.  Not bad, but I just feel like the ball moves better with guys who pass abs drive. And he nothing but a stand still shooter.

Hes awful so far this year. Just a frustrating player to watch in my opinion. Sure hell have an odd game where hes hot from 3 but as someone constantly in the rotation hes a net negative to me.

A bit like the Jazz to be honest. Team still needs a guy that can create his own shot off the bounce to go further in the playoffs.
