as crazy as this may sound, i'll take back an injuried player for ben, if brown plays well great if not, no big deal, flip him for picks and trade them for a star or maybe a former sixer that we shoudnt have traded away.

Brown plays well?  And he is shooting 39.7% from 3 on 7 attempts. 

He makes the Sixers into a legit legit title contender.

He has a hammy issue right now which could last all year. 

How severe is it?

I’d make the trade for brown in a heartbeat. He’s is as close to a great fit as you are going to get. They need a scoring wing who can also defend. Doubt the Celtics would do this trade but Morey should be trying to get brown 

 

alright - we're gonna need someone to drive Benamin up to Beantown - everyone else, start building the Morey statue.

A couple weeks but realistically no way Brad Stevens gives up Brown unless for a Beal type. 

i'd think tisse or maxey would have to be included along with simmons in a trade for brown. brown is just the better player...by far.

[Charania] The Boston Celtics have engaged in conversations with the 76ers revolving around Simmons and expressed interest in the 6-ft-11 guard, sources tell The Athletic. Talks have been fluid with no traction as of yet. Any potential Simmons deal would have to include All-Star forward Jaylen Brown

 

Full Quote:

In the meantime, the 76ers have not had any deal form for Simmons. Morey has continued to set a high price threshold for any deal involving the runner-up for the 2021 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Philadelphia is once again the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference so far this season, beginning the campaign 8-2 with quality wins while playing through absences and the Simmons situation.

The Boston Celtics have engaged in conversations with the 76ers revolving around Simmons and expressed interest in the 6-foot-11 guard, sources tell The Athletic. Talks have been fluid with no traction as of yet, those sources say. Any potential Simmons deal with the Celtics would have to include All-Star forward Jaylen Brown, an ascending talent who is in the midst of another career season, averaging 25.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

The Celtics are off to a 4-6 start, winning two recent games against Miami and Orlando before losing to Dallas Saturday night. President of basketball operations Brad Stevens admitted to NBC Sports Boston that the organization is "going to find out” if it has the right group of players.

That's cool.  Any time I look at Boston I assume it's going to have to revolve around Smart.

The offense has been more exciting so far this year when he hasn't played.

I'm on the celtics boards.  Tweet after tweet about this rumors being false.  They didn't trade Brown for Harden but they are going to trade him for "all word" Simmons?

Have no idea what’s going on in that organization, but both Brown and Tatum were called out recently by Marcus Smart for never passing the ball. Could be some frustration growing within the organization, who knows. 
 

As good as Brown is, I almost feel like it would be a mistake to add him to this team. Ball movement has been so great this year, which is why they’ve been so damn good. I have concerns that Brown would come in and act as a ball stopper and disrupt the movement.

Yeah that's true. My son's first game.  Would be nice to have the best players out there.  But... he won't really know anyway.

This would be a concern of mine as well.  Brown has averaged great numbers but the Celtics are just mediocre.  So I am not sure how much he impacts the game.  He is obviously great defensively.  This is all moot because this deal would never happen anyway.

Just tell him Drummond is Embiid.

I don't really mind an alpha scorer who stops the ball if he can make his shots. Brown at least does that. 

I'd hope Doc gets a little buy in from him to improve his passing at least a little bit.  But that alpha guy is what's needed.  Especially when Joel is off.

Embiid is now in Covid Safety Protocols and will miss multiple games 

 

 

Tested Positive....
